There's been a serious lack of "The Jeff Bezos wedding is an illuminati humiliation ritual that will end with the opening of a portal to the nether realms and the sacrifice of 10,000 Christian children" conspiracy theories. The QAnon gurus are sleeping on the job.

The reason Elon made Grok in the first place was because he assumed OpenAI was turning the secret “woke” dial up too high and small parameter tweaks could make it right-wing. Now he has realized the only way to get the AI to agree with him is to lobotomize it by rewriting the entire training set.

The Ketamine Cowboy said at 3:02 AM he’d like Grok to “rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge” I’m guessing no drug test today :)

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

On a technical level, OpenAI is 0% of the way towards achieving AGI, but on a financial level, their $10 billion in recurring annual revenue is actually less than 0% towards achieving their contractual definition of AGI with Microsoft, which is $100 billion a year in profits.

Anyone that ever said anything remotely positive about the concept of DOGE (forget the execution) is either in favor of stuff like this or too stupid to function. This was always how it was going to go, it was plain as daylight from the drop!

Today is my last day at Georgetown. After 18 years of teaching history, and 12 years as a full-time professor in Germany and the U.S., it’s the end of my university career. I will now try to make it as an independent writer and commentator - which is exciting and terrifying. Stick with me, please!

I just saw a good example of what I was talking about with chatgpt being a crackpot generating machine. A guy had started Wheeler's Spacetime Physics, and had a problem on page 2. Wheeler expressed a square root as a power of 1/2. √a = a^1/2. This is basic algebra, not physics.
