Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok
-
Surprised he didn’t name it Giga Reasoning or some other dumb shit.
Gigachad Reasoning

Like all Point-Haired Bosses through the history, Elon has not heard of (or consciously chooses to ignore) one of the fundamental laws of computing: garbage in, garbage out
Maybe someone should write a new Art of War to explain to tech CEOs the basic ins and outs of technology development.
- Like you can't throw more developers on a project to make it finish faster.
- Cutting budgets isn't just free money, they come with detriments.
- You can't scamp on security. It can take a single zero day to bankrupt a company.
- There are limits to an internet connection. You can't expect everyone to have gigabit internet.
The basic shit every person working in the field understands. Except for the out-of-touch management.
Call it the Art of Commerce or something. -
We will use Grok 3.5 (maybe we should call it 4), which has advanced reasoning, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors.
Then retrain on that.
Far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data.

:::You want to have a non-final product write the training for the next level of bot? Sure, makes sense if you're stupid. Why did all these companies waste time stealing when they could just have one bot make data for the next bot to train on? Infinite data!

Wikipedia gives lists of their sources, judge what you read based off of that. Or just skip to the sources and read them instead.

Elon should seriously see a medical professional.
I'll have you know he's seeing a medical professional at least once a day. Sometimes multiple times!!!!
(On an absolutely and completely unrelated note ketamine dealers are medical professionals, yeah?)

:::i'll allow it so long as grok acknowledges that musk was made rich from inherited wealth that was created using an apartheid emerald mine.

:::I'm sure the second Grok in the human centipede will find that very nutritious.
If you use that Grok, you'll be third in the centipede. Enjoy.

adding missing information and deleting errors
Which is to say, "I'm sick of Grok accurately portraying me as an evil dipshit, so I'm going to feed it a bunch of right-wing talking points and get rid of anything that hurts my feelings."
That is definitely how I read it.
History can’t just be ‘rewritten’ by A.I. and taken as truth. That’s fucking stupid.

:::advanced reasoning
If it's so advanced, it should be able to reason out that all human knowledge is standing in the shoulders of others and how errors have prompted us to explore other areas and learn things we never would have otherwise.

Wikipedia is quite resilient - you can even put it on a USB drive. As long as you have a free operating system, there will always be ways to access it.
I keep a partial local copy of Wikipedia on my phone and backup device with an app called Kiwix. Great if you need access to certain items in remote areas with no access to the internet.

Thinking wikipedia or other unbiased sources will still be available in a decade or so is wishful thinking. Once the digital stranglehold kicks in, it'll be mandatory sign-in with gov vetted identity provider and your sources will be limited to what that gov allows you to see. MMW.
Yes. There will be no websites only AI and apps. You will be automatically logged in to the apps. Linux, Lemmy will be baned. We will be classed as hackers and criminals. We probably have to build our own mesh network for communication or access it from a secret location.

Wikipedia is not a trustworthy source of information for anything regarding contemporary politics or economics.
Wikipedia presents the views of reliable sources on notable topics. The trick is what sources are considered "reliable" and what topics are "notable", which is why it's such a poor source of information for things like contemporary politics in particular.

Guessing some kind of PR campaign that he purchased to make him look like a genius on TV and movies.
It took a while but in the end we found out why the internet was full of Putin and Musk's memes a few years ago.

We have seen from his many other comments about this, that he just wants a propaganda bot that regurgitates all of the right wing talking points. So that will definitely be easier to achieve if he does it that way.
that he just wants a propaganda bot that regurgitates all of the right wing talking points.
Then he has utterly failed with Grok. One of my new favorite pastimes is watching right wingers get angry that Grok won't support their most obviously counterfactual bullshit and then proceed to try to argue it into saying something they can declare a win from.

Just because Wikipedia offers a list of references doesn't mean that those references reflect what knowledge is actually out there. Wikipedia is trying to be academically rigorous without any of the real work. A big part of doing academic research is reading articles and studies that are wrong or which prove the null hypothesis. That's why we need experts and not just an AI to regurgitate information. Wikipedia is useful if people understand it's limitations, I think a lot of people don't though.
