I mean... fuck Grok but can we just do it anyway?

I hate when people phrase it like this. „Grok“ calls for nothing, somebody just got the chatbot to say what they want it to say, which is remarkably easy.

Can we stop posting this shit like it means something?

This, and also you can do that with any LLM, not limited to Grok.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Yes, but those LLMs are not the official LLM of X directly tweeting on the platform publicly for all to see, attribute directly to the LLM instead of to whatever user induced the behavior.

Can we? Sure.

Will we? Absolutely not.

Time for another lobotomy for Grok

Grok makes the right assumption, which is this:

Given that DoJ won't release half of the Epstein files, nobody has definite proof of who's a pedo and who isn't. But considering how powerful the men mentioned in the Epstein files are, it is reasonable to assume they can corrupt DoJ into not releasing the dirt, and they have.

Therefore, it is rational to apply presumption of guilt to anybody listed in the Epstein files rather than presumption of innocence. Ergo, Musk is a fucking pedo until proven otherwise. It's plain logic.

Incidentally, considering everybody mentioned in the Epstein files to be pedos by default has one interesting consequence: if somebody with enough influence to sway DoJ is outraged at being associated with Epstein's pedo ring, they can use their influence to publicly ask that the files be released - or at least the parts of the files that concern them - and clear their good name. Right? Well... Notice how none of those fuckers come out to ask their good names cleared...

Even a blind squirrel occasionally gets a nut.

A nut called Elon Musk. That blind squirrel gets him on a surprisingly regular basis actually...
