I wonder how many politicians and political appointees understand that these LLMs are just doing word math and aren't "intelligent"?
toomuchtodo•6mo ago
Network and relationships supersede facts and domain knowledge in most parts of life unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on perspective).

One may be smart and logical, but can you social engineer like Sam Altman or distort reality like Musk? People are the underlying OS, everything above is fancy trimmings.

Hikikomori•6mo ago
Network and relationships as in political contributions aka bribes?
bigyabai•6mo ago
The exact same number of politicians and political appointees that understand the need to create artificial demand for these services.
piombisallow•6mo ago
Computers are just "doing math" too and the government uses them
duxup•6mo ago
Not quite the same. SQL returns pretty predictable results and we can talk about the data.

LLMs are treated differently and often opaque and the feds seem determined to remove anyone doing critical thinking.

sunaookami•6mo ago
Where's the difference to politicians? ;)
duxup•6mo ago
I agree, I suspect most don't know.
huijzer•6mo ago
I don’t get the whole MechaHitler outcry, LLMs have been doing weird things for years now. Sometimes randomly this, sometimes randomly that. Even Google and Microsoft had many cases were AI gave weird responses
bithive123•6mo ago
Yeah weird how LLMs randomly seem to reflect the politics of their owners, so random I guess we'll never know, weird.
tines•6mo ago
Difference being the CEOs of Google and Microsoft didn't do a Nazi salute before their bots started extolling the virtues of Hitler's ideology. Every damn time.
zdragnar•6mo ago
It does seem that it is egregious enough it should have been caught in QA before being released to the public.

Everything else around it is a dopamine high from joining in on a hate train against Musk.

duskwuff•6mo ago
Grok has seemed unusually prone to bizarre behavior, even if you don't count the times that its system prompt was modified (like the infamous "please talk about white genocide" incident in May). Part of the problem seems to be that it's being trained on recent Twitter posts, resulting in a weird sort of feedback loop when users discuss Grok's behavior.
edoceo•6mo ago
Grok was tweaked, it got directions to be crazier.
javier123454321•6mo ago
Let me fix the headline to remove clickbait:

US Government announces $200M Grok contract

Hikikomori•6mo ago
Let me fix it; US government pays $200M for mechahitler
javier123454321•6mo ago
