    Elon's pet LLM chat bot. The one that he recently tweaked temporarily(?) to spread South African "white genocide" conspiracy theories on Twitter because... well because what else would you expect Elon to spend his time doing?

    Oh, I see.

    Ugh. Billionaires should get restrictions on the stuff they are allowed to publish

      It is true that the Earth is round, much like it's true that an ongoing genocide against white people is occuring in South Africa.

        Just read a sci-fi novel set in 2005 where they had laser guns and orbital defence platforms.

                Blade Runner was made in 1982 and set in 2019 Los Angeles. I think that in most ways, real life 2019 was closer to 1982 than Blade Runner 2019.

                      It also got tweaked to spread Holocaust denial after that.

                        Nah, Bear. The last time I read Heinlein he laid out a schema for starting a cult that sounded suspiciously close to what his friend L Ron Hubbard later did for real.

                          why should wealth explicitly affect the ruleset by which you play? freedom of the press is crucial to avoid facism, however politicians could get an exemption.

                            People using a glorified Markov chain to fact check things is the most depressing shit I've had to endure in a while

                              Culturally we are still living in the 80s, just a dragged out fun mirror version of it because everyone at the top of the pyramid refuses to believe there could be anything better than their idea of life and the malls are online.

                                The core issue is clearly that money can be used to bypass rules.

                                    ... which is also the origin of the word "grok".
