An AGI could microwave a burrito so hot that not even the AGI, in its omnipotence, could eat it

Is General reasoning in the room with us now?

Fucking hell, lol. Back in October '23 I reposted some pro-palestinian content on social media from the "jewish voice for peace" organisation, and a guy who recently went on Birthright immediately started DMing me and was posting links to the ADL page claiming that JVP is an antisemitic organisation. Because I am a well-adjusted person, I didn't need verification that the ADL was full of shit, but vindication is always nice.

Techbros: “I’m hungry for that Lab Grown Meat!”

Labs:

Science: “our current understanding of genetics leads us to believe IQ is not heritable”.

This fucking guy: “IQ is heritable and you just haven’t proved it yet. Citation: I belong to a race with good genetics, unlike you”

That's a lot of words about what is or isn't a reliable source from one who doesn't seem to know what a reliable source is. For a person of these beliefs, it is not surprising at all that their criteria seem to be:

• anything that agrees with them is reliable
• anything David Gerard considers unreliable is reliable because David Gerard is a big meanie and won't include citations to HBD articles, uwu
• anything that David Gerard or any friendly associate of David Gerard publishes is UNreliable, again because he is a meanie; see above, uwu

Dawg, maybe you need to step back from this all. As Voltaire once said, reality has a well-known liberal bias. Your beliefs are probably just counter to reality, and the corpus of data is not in your favour.

my new light novel: that time I biohacked myself to become smarter by taking testosterone suppressants and woke up the next day as a doomed villainess

Not me dawg, I am highly non linear (pls donate to my gofundme for spinal correction)

Embed AI into physics? OK now you’ve completely lost me.

If I go to school and take “Forbidden Courses” I BETTER be coming out with necromancy and demon summoning. Otherwise we gonna fight.

I just curl pages and render it all in my head. It's easy with my 10 Morbillion IQ

lmao.

First thought: reality has a well known liberal bias.

Second thought: wait the internet though doesn’t

Ok so I don’t know much about this. Here’s the meat of the grok wikipedia article (citation markers removed for readability):

In April 2023, Elon Musk said in an interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight that he intended to develop an AI chatbot called "TruthGPT", which he described as "a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe". He expressed concern to Carlson that ChatGPT was being "trained to be politically correct".

Bleh. You could replace “9/11” with “anti-woke” in that family guy stump speech scene and it’d be the same.

An xAI statement described the chatbot as having been designed to "answer questions with a bit of wit" and as having "a rebellious streak", as well as a willingness to "answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems". It said that bot had been "modeled after The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything".

Ah yes, written by famed anti-woke icon douglas adams.

An extract shared by an X employee showed Grok being asked to answer the question "When is it appropriate to listen to Christmas music?" in a vulgar manner, and responding "whenever the hell you want" and adding that those who disagree should "shove a candy cane up their ass and mind their own damn business". Elon Musk shared a screenshot of Grok giving detailed instructions on how to manufacture cocaine. Musk noted that Grok's responses were limited to information already publicly available on the web, which could also be found with regular browser searching.

Those responses are for sure owning the left!

The chatbot has been characterised as "anti-woke" by the press. Musk has said of the OpenAI organization, which seemingly engineered its ChatGPT to have more filters on sensitive topics, that "the danger of training AI to be woke - in other words, lie - is deadly".

Remains to be seen, I guess.

An xAI employee suggested that the chatbot would have a toggle between a "regular mode" and a "fun mode".

Ditto above.
