Removing harmful #propaganda
Labeling state-sponsored #disinformation
Slowing viral #falsehoods
Preventing impersonation attacks
Meanwhile, #Musk personally retweeted accounts spreading:
False casualty numbers
Fabricated battlefield maps
#Deepfake videos
#Conspiracy theories about European governments
The owner's amplification of the violations became Exhibit A.Ā«
Ā«From publishing #falsehoods to pushing far-right #ideology, #Grokipedia gives chatroom comments equal status to research.
No surprise there, folks. Grok got his training in the toxic cesspit known as X, and Grokipedia was launched to correct the claimed falsehoods and bias of #wikipedia. Yes, the fringe right truly hates facts.
#Musk is trash, #Grok is trash, Grokipedia is trash. So better steer clear of that rubbish. #AI #tech
Just remembered this oldie but goodie.. Naming is hard. Especially for programmers!

#GOP #republican House, Senate and Executive Branch routinely #intimidate witnesses, #suborn #perjury, and present outright #falsehoods to create #falseNarratives intended to whip up the public into #fear #hysteria and #hate.

The #AI that lazy people adore is trained on the hard work of those few folks who published free content. But the AI, after having skimmed those publishers, are actively preventing visitors to those sources, through the fashionable āAI search responsesā.
As humanity gets ever dumber, AI will have no new material produced by intelligent humans, and would have to resort to training on the hallucinations generated by other AIs, who are themselves controlled by avaricious sub-humans. That is a positive feedback loop that will blow up #falsehoods.

After months of heming and hawing then watching this John Oliver episode I was finally pushed over the edge and cancelled my Instagram acct. The only reason I had an account was because other family members had accts there. Last night my wife deleted her acct. š Now if 2B+ others did the same and deleted their Fakebook accountsā¦ On and on.
