[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@rwlesq Ah, thanks for the clarification.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@rwlesq @elonmusk Thanks for the catch

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan I STILL HAVE MY TODO LIST ENTRY TO CALL YOU, I PROMISE, I'M JUST BAD ABOUT PHONE CALLS

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan News flash: a population of a billion people has some bad actors.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan Like, all LLM makers impart their bias in the system prompts. But only xAI seems to actively *try* to impart strong, specific political biases in its prompt.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

Can't take any LLMs output at face value but especially not Grok's

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan Right, I've seen its output a ton on Twitter and it's generally been good. The problem is that incidents like this, and mecha Hitler, make it clear that you never know when xAI is going to aggressively tamper with its prompts.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan @mattyglesias Hahaha, I'll call you soon 😊. I don't hear or see words when my head replays them. They're just... there? I *do* replay music in my head very well, though! I don't have a ton of problems with homonyms, no - but it's getting worse in my old age...

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@mattyglesias I appreciate your paying attention to under-reported conflicts, thank you.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan I don't know what to tell you, man. I can recognize smells but I don't experience them without stimuli. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan When I smell something for real life I smell it, I sense the thing. I guess it's in my head? I don't really associate it with a place. But I can't at all replicate that sensation absent external stimulus.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan Oh I can't do smells in my head at all. Sounds and images I can very faintly do if I try hard.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan I don't paint scenes in my head when I read. I actually mostly skip over visual descriptions in books, other than basics that are important to the plot ("the characters are in a bar now") because I don't do anything with the information.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan Probably! But you'd still expect it to be possible for a blind from birth person to, e.g., model shapes without doing it visually.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan Think about a blind person. You would expect them to be able to model a shape, like a Roman 2, but you wouldn't expect them to be visualizing it to do so.

[💀🌸 Joseph 🌸💀 @HeyImSeph]

@siridhyan I can't really hold images in my head at all. Like if I force it I can kinda get a brief image in my head, but for less than a second. And it still doesn't really feel like "seeing".
