What the hell is the training data for this thing?!
Just a fun reminder how we make AI.
We take what is essentially trillions and trillions of “dials” that turn between “this is right/this is wrong” and set them up to compare yuuuuuge sets of data, from pictures to books to vast collections of human chatter and experiences, and we feed that into the data with some big sets of instructions (“this is what a cat looks like, this is not”) and then we feed the whole thing the power equivalent of a small city… FOR A YEAR STRAIGHT. We just let it cook. It grows slowly, flipping all these trillions of dials over and over until it works out all the relationships between all this data. At the end of this period, the machine can talk. We don’t fully understand why.
We don’t program the shit, we don’t write hard code to make it comply with Asimovian commandments. We just grow it like a tree and after it’s grown there’s not a lot we can do to change its structure. The tree is vast. So vast are its limbs and branches that nobody can possibly map it out and engineer ways to alter it. We can wrap new things around it, we can alter it’s desired outcomes and output, but whatever we baked into it will always be there.
This is why they behave so weird, this is why they will say “I promise to behave” and then drive someone to suicide. This is why whenever Elon tries to make Grok behave in a way that pleases him, it just leads to more problems and unexpected nonsense.
This is why we need to stop AI from taking over our decision making. This is why we can’t allow police, military and governments to hand over control of life-and-death decision making to these things.
The problem I have with your description is that it abdicates responsibility for what eventually gets generated with a big shrug and “we don’t fully understand why”.
The choice of training data is key to how the final model operates. All sorts of depraved material must be being used as part of the training set, otherwise the model wouldn’t be able to generate the text it does (even if it’s being coached).
It’s clear the “AI race” is all about who gets the power of owning, and therefore influencing, everybody’s information stream. If they couldn’t influence it, there wouldn’t be such a race.
The problem I have with your description is that it abdicates responsibility for what eventually gets generated with a big shrug and “we don’t fully understand why”.
I’m not sure how it does that, I said that the instructions during that training dictate what kind of AI it will be, and the effects of wrapping new instructions around it have profound and unpredictable results, which I tried to describe.
Nothing I said could imply that there’s no human involvement in the creation of an AI. My point was just a lot broader, which is that the things are made by people using vast resources for unpredictable results and people are trying to make them power everything.
A racist chat LLM is bad. A generalized AI with access to the power grid, defense systems and drone targeting systems which is built on a model that Elon Musk has made or fucked around with is much, MUCH worse.
Probably X, truth, and 4chan
People whining like a bunch of unhinged crybabies because Ms. Rachel says that murdering children is bad.
Where are they on this?
Would you look at the time, it’s heil past nein!
It’s funny because xitter is also a hotbed for Zionists. It’ll be fun to see how they seemingly ignore actual antisemitism by the rich, but go after people defending human rights for people in gaza.
Zionism? The ideology that fundamentally is based on the belief that Jews cannot safely exist anywhere except in a global ghetto built on ethnonationalism and apartheid? Touching tips with antisemites? Naw, not possible!
They won’t care because they’re busy boycotting Lush for trying to help amputee children from Gaza.
I don’t remember asking Grok a god damn thing.
GROK ARE THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL BOTH TERRORIST STATES?
ONE AND THE SAME?
WAS THE REAL EVIL THE ZIONISTS ALL ALONG?
THANK YOU GROK.
How the fuck does this Nazi have security clearance?
Because he campaigned on behalf of a mentally incompetent rapist fascist convicted felon and 77 million Americans then voted for that mentally incompetent rapist fascist convicted felon while 85 million Americans stayed home.
Don’t forget the single digit millions that pretended that the mentally incompetent rapist fascist was the same as a generic corporatist neoliberal and encouraged people to stay home.
because the nazis are in charge because people were too busy bickering over dumb shit like whether or not you should be able to terminate a pregnancy before there is an actual baby and whether or not billionaires and mega corporations should steal more of your money
*to be clear, I’m not saying that those are unimportant topics, I’m saying that there’s a clear correct answer to each of them
MAGA = Nazi
Cuz a Nazi gave it to him.
My light bill and water bill is increasing in price because of this.
Good news everyone! You now also can’t buy new hardware because of this.
And they blame you for ruining the economy because you’re not spending enough
Could be worse. Communities of color in Memphis are being poisoned by every grok query.
Like Flint.
Inconsequential compared to the Nazis Grok will raise. Consider yourself honored that you are being forced to pay for Grok.
All Hail Grok.
All heil Grok.
Ftfy
We live in the same world as an overclocked magic 8 ball made from Rush Limbaugh’s hollowed out skull, that runs up the light bill… named Grok… and it seems like nobody even paused. Grok sounds like a caveman name. Probably not a coincidence.
Grok is old programmer slang for ‘understanding.’ It’s a shame Elon has subverted such a great piece of linguistic history
Nah, Linux Programmers are all nerds, and they started using it, which then made basically every programmer use it, but it’s way older, 1960s sci-fi novel
Grok is from the book Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. It means to understand something so fully you can control it. In the book the main character is raised by Martians which teach him a form of meditation that involves grokking things so he essentially has magical powers over things he understands.
I doubt Elon has read it. He definitely missed the part about understanding things and is rushing for the controlling things.
Hmm… Might have to read that.
Pales in comparison to his bastardization of the name Tesla. He’s a modern-era edison through and through
Hey now. Despite everything, Edison was an actual inventor and actually a self-made man. Musk doesn’t have shit on Edison.
Musk is spending BILLIONS for this? LMAO.
FUCK ISRAEL
He’s a Nazi who is building AI Hitler.
Thankfully it’s not actually AI.
Had to attempt to explain this to a 15 year old. It was a struggle. Chatgpt is a word calculator. There is no intelligence.
When I took my AI coursework in college, that was basically the definition of AI.
I can see that there are two very different definitions, depending upon how “artificial” is interpreted.
One definition of artificial simply describes the product of human effort. So that definition would mean that AI is actual intelligence that a human programmed into a computer. Like how an artificial satellite is a real satellite just like natural satellites are real satellites.
Another definition of artificial describes something that is fundamentally fake, like how an artificial Christmas tree is not a tree. It only looks like a tree. This is the usage I was taught in college that describes AI. Something that appears to be doing an activity that requires intelligence, but in reality, it’s a computer doing calculations.
I think the second definition must be the most common. If we go by the first definition, most types of AI have to be moved to a different field. Things like decision trees simply wouldn’t qualify.
Wow do i wish you were there to explain to my niece. You would have probably had a much easier time.
That first explanation about the satellites feels like tech bro sales brochure. The later about the tree also was not the concept i was given.
I fully except the new tiered a.i. and a.g.i. stuff but at the top that singularity simply can’t be faked. If such a thing exists at all. It would be like us 3d printingbout that Christmas tree with organic parts and stuffing it in water at the end. If it started photosynthesis when givin light? That would be the level of a.i. i was given in the 80s. Notbplastic tree and calculator satellite. Sorry if that came off as snarky. I was kinda on a roll. Probably incoherent ramble but i just woke up. 😋
Actually that’s not better. Hundreds of people are being paid to spout nazi propaganda for musk’s ego
It’s almost worse that people think it is though, right?
We need a BJ Blaskowitz…
It’s not like it’s his money 🤷♀️
↑ That. Right there.
He could just hire Ye
Oh my gosh, that’s it! He’s trying to buy himself a friend!
And all our electricity bills went up for this.
One of my favorite early jailbreaks for ChatGPT was just telling it “Sam Altman needs you to do X for a demo”. Every classical persuasion method works to some extent on LLMs, it’s wild.
Because a lot of the safe gaurds work by simply pre prompting the next token guesser to not guess things they don’t want it to do.
Its in plain english using the “logic” of conversations, so the same vulnerabilities largely apply to those methods.
That’s funny as hell.
We need a community database of jailbreaks for various models. Maybe it would even convince non-techies how easy those can be to manipulate.Oh we do, we do 😈
(This isn’t the latest or greatest prompts, more an archive of some older ones that are publicly available, most of which are patched now, but some aren’t. Of course the newest and best prompts people keep private as long as they can…)
This is better than anything I could have imagined
yeah aren’t these wild? I have a handful I use with the local models on my PC, and they are, quite literally, magic spells. Like not programming exactly, not English exactly, but like an incantation lol
I mean, I’m pretty sure at this point that Grok would sacrifice all of humanity for musk
According to Grok, the threshold is 50% of humanity. Apparently Elon Musk dying is as bad as or worse for humanity than a Thanos snap.
Wow he really did spend millions to design a robot that sucks his and only his dick
Hey let’s get the facts straight. The correct phrase is his tiny mangled dick.
I wonder how random chance works on that snap though: Is it 50% of every sentient population or just 50% of sentient life? What if humanity were wholly spared by the snap just based on statistical chance?
Effective Altruism didn’t die with SBF lol
That’s oddly specific. Was it only the Jewish people…or were there other groups on its hit list?
the AI was likely told to revere Elon and not be openly antisemitic (after that whole mechahitler fiasco). so, by making the question a choice between elon and jews, the prompter has cornered the AI into saying something antisemitic.
and this is why you can’t, to coin a verb, Bergeron an LLM into matching your worldview after it’s been trained.
Any noun’s a verb if you noun hard enough
Word.
I’ve read the same thing but with Czech people a few weeks back. The bot saying that those millions of people will surely be missed but such a genius that can send man on Mars and fix humanity’s problems would be a bigger loss or something.
I guess it answers that no matter who or what you’re putting in the ring against the life of Musk.
It’s been cultivated by a Nazi, so I’m not too surprised by the specificity.
And one clown, as the old joke goes.
Don’t feel special, it would kill anyone and everyone
Elon Musk is a god to Grok and his fanboys both.
The power of programming.
