Depends on the ketamine levels in his blood at any given moment. Sometimes, you edit your prompts from a k-hole, and everyone knows you can't authorize your own actions when you're fully dissociated.
I don't understand how he can be such an ass. I spent plenty of time in a hole. I liken it to the river of souls... Your soul flowing through the river of the universe with all the other souls being cleansed. I Consider it a sacrament and a psychedelic at higher levels. Not a party drug.. Hard to party when you're laying down or walking with a 45 degrees slant.
With all his Burning Man experience, you would think he would have done some deems. Then realized there's more to this life and abusing others is like abusing yourself.
My experience with psychedelics (enjoyed with others) is that what you experience relates directly to you the person.
For me, I was already terribly empathetic and I became crippled with empathy, incapable of any move in any direction that didn’t benefit everyone.
Ego death doesn’t happen for everyone. Some egos are too big to kill and grow even larger.
That is my anecdotal experience. I knew someone who went from huge ego to an ego to end all egos.
He woke up the next day convinced that the world needed him.
I’ve never done ketamine though.
LSD, DMT, and mushrooms. That’s it for me.

Well, I've been across the horizon and back a few times and I never came back a cunt. But I also never came back a Nazi billionaire, and then I'm making no promises.
Unilaterally Authorized. Or UnAuthorized for short.
they say unauthorised because they got caught
"I didn't give you permission to get caught!"
Not sure how they really expected any other outcome.
maybe they just wanted to take their free shot. Its not like there are any real consequences for corporations nowdays
Elon looking for the unauthorized person:
Brah, if your CEO edits the prompt, it's not unauthorized. It may be undesirable, but it really ain't unauthorised
Translation: of course they're not going to admit that Elon did it.
Hey! He only owns the platform. Why would you think he's putting his thumb on the scale? /s
I am pretty sure that is called disinformation. Rather than "unauthorized edit"...
Yeah, billionaires are just going to randomly change AI around whenever they feel like it.
That AI you've been using for 5 years? Wake up one day, and it's been lobotomized into a trump asshole. Now it gives you bad information constantly.
Maybe the AI was taken over by religious assholes, now telling people that gods exist, manufacturing false evidence?
Who knows who is controlling these AI. Billionaires, tech assholes, some random evil corporation?
Joke's on you, LLMs already give us bad information
Sure, but unintentionally. I heard about a guy whose small business (which is just him) recently had someone call in, furious because ChatGPT told them that he was having a sale that she couldn't find. The customer didn't believe him when he said that the promotion didn't exist. Once someone decides to leverage that, and make a sufficiently-popular AI model start giving bad information on purpose, things will escalate.
Even now, I think Elon could put a small company out of business if he wanted to, just by making Grok claim that its owner was a pedophile or something.
"Unintentionally" is the wrong word, because it attributes the intent to the model rather than the people who designed it.
Hallucinations are not an accidental side effect, they are the inevitable result of building a multidimensional map of human language use. People hallucinate, lie, dissemble, write fiction, misrepresent reality, etc. Obviously a system that is designed to map out a human-sounding path from a given system prompt to a particular query is going to take those same shortcuts that people used in its training data.
"Unintentionally" is the wrong word, because it attributes the intent to the model rather than the people who designed it.
You misunderstand me. I don't mean that the model has any intent at all. Model designers have no intent to misinform: they designed a machine that produces answers.
True answers or false answers, a neural network is designed to produce an output. Because a null result ("there is no answer to that question") is very, very rare online, the training data doesn't include it; meaning that a GPT will almost invariably produce any answer; if a true answer does not exist in its training data, it will simply make one up.
But the designers didn't intend for it to reproduce misinformation. They intended it to give answers. If a model is trained with the intent to misinform, it will be very, very good at it indeed; because the only training data it will need is literally everything except the correct answer.

That's a good reason to use open source models. If your provider does something you don't like, you can always switch to another one, or even selfhost it.
While true, it doesn't keep you safe from sleeper agent attacks.
These can essentially allow the creator of your model to inject (seamlessly, undetectably until the desired response is triggered) behaviors into a model that will only trigger when given a specific prompt, or when a certain condition is met. (such as a date in time having passed)
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.05566
It's obviously not as likely as a company simply tweaking their models when they feel like it, and it prevents them from changing anything on the fly after the training is complete and the model is distributed, (although I could see a model designed to pull from the internet being given a vulnerability where it queries a specific URL on the company's servers that can then be updated with any given additional payload) but I personally think we'll see vulnerabilities like this become evident over time, as I have no doubts it will become a target, especially for nation state actors, to simply slip some faulty data into training datasets or fine-tuning processes that get picked up by many models.
I currently treat any positive interaction with an LLM as a “while the getting’s good” experience. It probably won’t be this good forever, just like Google’s search.
Pretty sad that the current state would be considered "good"
With accuracy rates declining over time, we are at the 'as good as it gets' phase!

Don’t know the reference but I’m sure it’s awesome. :p
It's from the show "I think you should leave." There's a sketch where someone has crashed a weinermobile into a storefront, and bystanders are like "did anyone get hurt?" "What happened to the driver?" And then this guy shows up.
They say that they'll upload the system prompt to github but that's just deception. The Twitter algorithm is "open source on github" and hasn't been updated for over 2 years. The issues are a fun read tho https://github.com/twitter/the-algorithm/issues
There's just no way to trust that anything is running on the server unless it's audited by 3rd party.
So now all of these idiots going to believe "but its on github open source" when the code is never actually being run by anyone ever.
We need people educated on open source, community-made hardware and software
This is why I tell people stop using LLMs. The owner class owns them (imagine that) and will tell it to tell you what they want so they make more money. Simple as that.
This is why the Chinese openly releasing deepseek was such a kick in the balls to the LLM tech bros.
None of the explanations matter now, too late. "White genocide" is now a thing in SA. The term is in people's heads. Mission accomplished.
Looks like someone's taking some lessons from Zuck's methodology. "Whoops! That highly questionable and suspiciously intentional shit we did was totes an accident! Spilt milk now, I guess! Wuh-huh-heey honk-honk!"
Hmm, sure.
There goes Adrian Dittman again. That guy oughta be locked up.
And what about Elmo’s white genocide obsession?
This actually shows that they're is work being done to use LLM on social media to pretend to be ordinary users and trying to sway opinion of the population.
This is currently the biggest danger of LLM, and the bill to prevent states from regulating it is to ensure they can continue using it
...is entertaining a plan to grant refugee status to white Afrikaners
FYI, the Republicans have already done it.
