If you post pictures of yourself on X and don't want grok to "bikini you", block grok. Yes, under the TOS, what grok is doing is not the "fault" of grok(the reason is the causal factor of the post[enabled by 2 humans:…
I disagree in principle, but let's say the people decide to do so. Not only in US (under section 230) those are not media companies, but in EU too, social networks like Facebook/Instagram/etc. are treated legally as…
Everybody knows about Cambridge Analytica being used in the US/UK, but, for example, little to no one knows that Cambridge Analytica was also used by political parties within the EU (I won't give specific names [for…
In the last electoral cycle I've seen firsthand censorship applied to remote acquaintances because of the newly added EU DSA (this in and of itself would not be a huge disaster [by EU standards] if it wasn't accompanied…
Thank you for the detailed insight. You've touched on an aspect that outsiders (like me) cannot truly grasp but can only guess about: motivation. And it's definitely true, motivation in the private sector is somewhat…
Please convince me how gov. funding is better than the private sector. Before people jump to the "late capitalism and everything will be profit-incentivized" bandwagon, I fail to see how things like finding a new good…
(If you're OP: this is not a solution per se but more of a generalist rant; just so you don't waste critical time) People talk about changing laws or technical solutions, but the inconvenient truth is that technically…
I'm more impressed by the fact that there's still DDR2 going around. I know DDR3 is still alive and well, even manufactured(I myself noticed the appearance of new DDR3 kits, which is weird); but didn't knew DDR2 was…
AI & Social Media are only exacerbating the decline of morality in society, spreading it and making it more visible. Morality has been "breaking", objectively speaking, for at least a century, most noticeable with the…
Firstly, EU =/= Europe. Secondly: the death of EU cannot come soon enough. 10 years ago euroskeptics like me were wrongfully called "russophiles" (lmao), even though I'm from a country that is constantly threatened by…
I'm not sure that focusing on this mudslinging towards OpenAI (or any other company, for that matter) will achieve anything. It didn't work in the past and it won't work in the future. The reality is that parents,…
(Imo) They will turn to all of these(especially to porn and gambling) when the core model of "enhance your life" will slowly fade away. The "academia space", the teens/boomers demographics, all of those will stop using…

Same here on 2 accounts, both having 2fa through a HW key(yubikey; though passkeys have the same behavior). At some point today(few hours ago) both my desktop and phone got reditected to x.com/account/access, where the…
I've watched the doctored video myself. The CEO resigning is "nothing" compared to the accountability they should be held to for propaganda they constantly push, and specifically to the extreme bias in this case. If it…
"Climate change deniers" Like holocaust deniers, like nazis, etc.? More and more buzz-words and labels broadly and freely used in order to dilute their respective meanings. Our parents, grand-parents, etc. did not teach…
I expect this "red meat inherently bad" paper to be rebuked faster than the previous one, which lasted quite a while. Of course even retracted if there are still people with integrity in academia.(which I'm sure exist…
The framing makes it sound like it's a "bug" or something. From my understanding it's not, because it's hardly a reliable reasoning tool: whether using statements or using data. Unless we come up with or advance a…
The most interesting snippet from the article: > Early Friday, Musk said that xAI would release its first AI system — presumably Grok — to a “select group” on Saturday, November 4. But in a follow-up tweet tonight, Musk…
Wasn't aware tooling for whisper came out. Whishper looks neat, definitely better than what i'm using now( whisper locally/collab and then editing with SubtitleEdit/gaupol). Thanks
I feel the opposite is true. You're right about this, if we were to resume the internet to the arab world/middle eastern world/etc. But the internet de facto is a global medium of discussion(for all intends and…
I'm assuming they're gonna work on ROCm(or maybe a new attempt by AMD?). Anyways good luck to them, we desperately need some competition to CUDA. AMD's hardware is definitely potent, but yeah you can't catch up to CUDA…
Objectively speaking of course, NPR* has been trending downwards on almost every metric since 2019-2020, funnily enough except the income metric.[1] Also the objective data from statista[2] shows the same thing, but…

My position is not incoherent at all, or at least I don't think it is. Let me be more explicit: if EU deems the problem of misinfo is actually such an important thing on X, then it should itself go ahead and…
