“Subscribers to X Premium, which grants access to Grok, have been posting everything from Barack Obama doing cocaine to Donald Trump with a pregnant woman who (vaguely) resembles Kamala Harris to Trump and Harris pointing guns. With US elections approaching and X already under scrutiny from regulators in Europe, it’s a recipe for a new fight over the risks of generative AI.”
“We are all going to die because we have new technology, help us governments, regulate it so we don’t make too much human progress at a time!!!”
I want to know what happened to “information wants to be free”.
“Information wants to be free”, it never was. Thats only a small part of the quote. The whole quote is:
Information Wants To Be Free. Information also wants to be expensive. …That tension will not go away.
I want to know what happened to “information wants to be free”.
I think its more “Fuck you, pay me” now that Musk is running a few rubles short of what he needs to stay the world’s richest man.
AIs aren’t real information.
Misinformation wants to be free
Generative AI isn’t the real risk. It’s letting musk go unchecked that is.
The cat’s out of the bag unfortunately. I can download stable or unstable diffusion on my home PC and make it generate all kinds of stuff. It’s open source so yoi can’t really stop that knowledge from spreading.
You can however recognize that thr majority of people won’t do that, and write rules around software that is delivered as a service or for a fee. That would stop 90% of it.
So while regulating GenAI is possible, it’s not full fix. GenAI is kind of still the risk.
Do you mean Musk or did you misunderstand the comment?
My apologies, I missed the word Musk. I think what I said still stands that regulations can only hold back some of the damage, and that GenAI is still a big issue in and of itself.
With that said, you’re right about Musk. He’s a wildcard who is only out for his personal interets and he has way too big a following. He’s a large problem to be sure.
Asking multiple times will get you variations with different policies, some of which sound distinctly un-X-ish, like “be mindful of cultural sensitivities.”
kek
I mean, can’t you do this with any AI?
I suspect the greatest threat is not that politicians and billionaires can create realistic images of their enemies, rather they can deny any evidence of their own misdeeds.
Harris’ airport crowd serves as an example. Whether or not it really happened (I assume it did) MAGAs will have cause to plausibly believe it didn’t.
Not that evidence to the contrary of belief systems has ever been effective at deprogramming those invested in their worldview.
People are and always have been divorced from reality. Some people barely understand how their own house works, but nobody ever understood everything, and at no point you could be sure you know with absolute certainty what was going on 1000 miles away from you.
Let us not act like generative AI is going to break the 4th wall of our perfect world. And I don’t even mean video or even image manipulation - basic text can and has been used for manipulation forever.
Perhaps we should reexamine things we’ve had for decades, like signing content with PGP and building actual trust around the world.
Oh boy! Can’t wait to experience the ramifications of this one!
What’s next? Gonna try to recreate Deep Impact, just to see?
Can it do musk in a dress getting railed by a gun held by trump?
LMAOROLFZ…
Pitcher and catcher
And I’m sure nobody will be able to tell that it’s just generative AI by counting the “finglers.” /s
But this is a blessing to bad actors who trade in rumors and conspiracy theories—many of whom just so happen to be on Xitter by Pure Coincidence™.
I used it to make this picture of Elon and convicted Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell hanging out, crazy how realistic AI got
The concerning thing is… I can’t tell if you’re joking.
They are joking. It’s a real picture.
The mark of good satire
I hate the 2020s so fucking much
The last '20s sucked also. All of this has happened before, and it’ll all happen again, but this time with ads and AI!!
So say we all.
