Since when has AI been too woke to generate helpful answers? it's not like it will produce a PS script which is going to be more effective, so unless you're a 10yo who asks "what's a d i ck hahahaha", I doubt it will make much of a difference. It's one for the Musky lover brigade.

So much like it did in Data Science, millions spent and the results are "it may rain".Originally posted by JustKeepSwimming View PostDid read an article last week that AI might be approaching a point of negative returns.
As AI is used more and more to create content, it will start using AI content to create new AI content. When you have things like MSN.com using nearly complete AI generated news stories (with many errors) you can quickly see where we are heading.
Considering how much fake tulip the Gaza stuff has shown on twitter, how delusional Musk has become, I can't see Grok being remotely useful.

I like the footnote at the bottom of the article about the writer:
Jeremy Johnson is a Tesla investor and supporter. He first invested in Tesla in 2017 after years of following Elon Musk and admiring his work ethic and intelligence. Since then, he's become a Tesla bull

Ahhh yeah Robert Heinlein who gradually became borderline* pornographic in his writing.
Stranger was fairly sexualised, but I think I threw in the towel with Number of the Beast.
* I don't mean borderline I mean out and out openly

It was also a word for a concept that Heinlein could not define himself, which was rather the point. To Grok something was to understand it at such a fundamental level that you could make it do "stuff", from a spoon stirring a pot of spaghetti sauce by itself to making something disappear itself from the universe completely. The basic idea is that if you don't have the concept of a thing, you won't have a word for it, but that different intelligences will have different concepts and hence different words.Originally posted by cojak View Post
But that diversion aside, it is a book well worth reading and Jubal Harshaw a man worth emulating - although some millennials will have problems with the attitudes in it.

No, because Red Dwarf borrowed Grok from Robert Heinlein’s 1961 novel ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostBut does it have the words "Don't Panic" written in large friendly letters on the front?
The word "grok", coined in the novel, made its way into the English language. In Heinlein's invented Martian language, "grok" literally means "to drink" and figuratively means "to comprehend", "to love", and "to be one with". The word rapidly became common parlance among science fiction fans, hippies, and later computer programmers[20] and hackers,[21] and has since entered the Oxford English Dictionary.[22]
