Alrighty, you know what? That's my cue.

I'm "agnoster" on 🧵 and "https://t.co/cZ3UsHy2bQ" on 🔵☀️

See you there, or IRL. I'm out.

Lol

@TabulaStellar @tszzl Mhmmm, yeah. Must be why Trump loves him!

@TabulaStellar @tszzl "Mamdani has no rizz"

Kids, don't do copium

@sirkolakola @cowboyexec Those are both numbers

So for stupid people, they’re the same

[Isaac Was Here @agnoster]

@joodalooped @ryiacy But then the problem isn't suffering per se, right? It's something else? Is it just "extreme suffering"? Or something else?

@GregLewicki @jerzyramert @R_Inspiratio Well, the transformer architecture originated from language translation tasks so that makes sense!

Probably faster than asking my parents to translate 😂

@vRaptr88 @spiteful_horse @_samanthalux "Obviously not a real argument, if I HAD real arguments I would make them but I am just a pile of biases and ignorance in a trench coat and fedora" sure is a counter-point

@cabe183551 @ApuSearch @HwsEleutheroi Just say you don’t have faith in the Lord

@Bensam123TV @MiriVinni @Peaked1nterest It’s about you because what you post says a lot about you

Like your anger, your loneliness, your frustration, your hopelessness

It can get better, man. I promise. Just gotta find the humanity in yourself and others! ❤️

@Bensam123TV @MiriVinni @Peaked1nterest Are… are you slut-shaming her because you're mad? Bro, I think the reason you can't get laid is your personality

I'm a fat bearded nerd who treats women like human beings and have been cleaning up since college

@codetarded @robertskmiles @teortaxesTex When people feel scolded about their habits, even implicitly, it will tend to make them defensive and lash out

I mean, not me. I'm a flawless paragon of objective dispassionate thinking. But OTHER people

@xai @grok based on everything you know about xAI and Elon Musk, what would you put the odds at that this 3am unauthorized change to highlight "white genocide" in South Africa was done by Elon or at Elon's insistence

[Isaac Was Here @agnoster]

@exhaze @paulscu1 @djkgamc @nearcyan @xai If the owner can YOLO ideologically motivated prompt instructions in that's a big organizational failure

It's not about blame, but it very much is about transparency and accountability

[Isaac Was Here @agnoster]

@djkgamc @paulscu1 @exhaze @nearcyan @xai They essentially confirmed it's him, but they can't name him because they'd get fired

[Isaac Was Here @agnoster]

@exhaze @nearcyan @xai I wonder who made an unauthorized 3am change to make Grok obsessed with South African white genocide

I mean, could be anyone

[Isaac Was Here @agnoster]

"Elon YOLO'd some prompt changes in hoping to make Grok believe his white genocide bullshit. We can't say it was Elon because he's technically the boss, but, cmon, who has high level access and is obsessing over 'Kill the Boer' at 3am, you guys do the math. This dude suuuuuucks"

[xAI @xai]

We want to update you on an incident that happened with our Grok response bot on X yesterday.

What happened:
On May 14 at approximately 3:15 AM PST, an unauthorized modification was made to the Grok response bot's prompt on X. This change, which directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic, violated xAI's internal policies and core values. We have conducted a thorough investigation and are implementing measures to enhance Grok's transparency and reliability.

What we’re going to do next:
- Starting now, we are publishing our Grok system prompts openly on GitHub. The public will be able to review them and give feedback to every prompt change that we make to Grok. We hope this can help strengthen your trust in Grok as a truth-seeking AI.
- Our existing code review process for prompt changes was circumvented in this incident. We will put in place additional checks and measures to ensure that xAI employees can't modify the prompt without review.
- We’re putting in place a 24/7 monitoring team to respond to incidents with Grok’s answers that are not caught by automated systems, so we can respond faster if all other measures fail.

@mattyglesias @TPCarney “… He cannot possibly be this dumb, right?”

“Can if I WANTS to be!!”

Seriously dude do you think you’re fooling anyone with this deflection? Do you still fall for peekaboo on a regular basis?

You know that’s not the point. We know it. We know that YOU know we know it. Come on

[Isaac Was Here @agnoster]

@SuzMcChesney28 @JDVance @ZaidJilani Wait, if there’s no trial, how do you know everyone they’re sending is “illegal”? The trial isn’t to find out “how bad their illegality is” but if it’s even true

If someone accused you of being here illegally and shipped you to a prison in El Salvador, wouldn’t you want a trial?

@elsariel79 @BriannaWu Are these horror stories you’ve witnessed personally, or shared online? Is it worth restricting the medical options well-meaning parents have because some might abuse it? And isn’t the problem abusive parents, not trans kid healthcare?

I don’t think I understand :-(

[Isaac Was Here @agnoster]

@elsariel79 @BriannaWu Bone density is the one I’m most concerned with, so we are doing scans regularly

But like, do you think we shouldn’t as parents be allowed to balance the risks for our own kids? It’s scary being a parent, and there are no easy answers, but many families want this in good faith
