Grok 3 wades into the AI wars with 'beta' rollout Grok 3 has begun rolling out. xAI founder Elon Musk describes the chatbot as "a maximally truth-seeking AI, even if that truth is sometimes at odds with what is politically correct." According to the startup, pre-training of Grok 3 was completed in early January, and training is ongoing. Likewise, a huge datacenter was …
"a maximally truth-seeking AI, even if that truth is sometimes at odds with what is politically correct"

- Or true

So what we have here is a model trained to the approval of a man who has failed upwards for his whole life, from what was a pretty comfortable start anyway.
All tools reflect something of their maker. Making this tool something of a "tool-ception".
The silver lining is that Twitter has plummeting market share. (Any bounce from political events will wear off once companies find their ads next to neo-nazi garbage.) Hopefully this will see so little use that the costs of running it will just accelerate the death of Twitter.
"not sure if you saw it, but a little while ago there was a story about heil muskler asking where the most misinformation comes from, and his ai identified elon musk as the biggest source of misinformation on the internet."
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the ...
The old stories just keep popping up.
>Aw, come on. Musk is/works for the Department of Government Efficiency, not for the Department of Grifting Everybody. It's all legit! He won';t associate users names and credit cards with the questions they ask, for sure.
If I understand the latest court updates, Musk doesn't technically work for DOGE but is instead a special advisor to the President. So he can't be held responsible for any naughtiness that his minions at DOGE get up to when he tells them to do something. I know, I don't understand either, but the government lawyers seem to...
They would also have been very much pre-rehearsed, tested and optimised : start being impressed when they generate good output from unexpected suggestions given by credible journalists. For example a cross between Tetris, Championship Football Manager and GoreSplatter VII.
Having a 3rd party ask it for something, say a minimum energy trajectory to some asteroid (not pre-rehearsed) and then to verify it against folks who know what they are doing like the JPL lot, then it might be wroth taking seriously.
TFA > It does, however, try to make up for this with a selection of benchmarks that put Musk's AI platform ahead of the competition.
TFA> It goes without saying that a hefty pinch of salt is required when looking at any benchmarks produced in the tech industry – not just the AI ones.
Get the feeling that El Reg is not taken in?
You people were not able to help yourselves. You have to keep mirroring and reposting and logging into the nazi social. If you mirror, if you link, if you log in, you are X'd. You are a russian nazi treasonous piece of chit. I have already dumped any and all relations to ruspublicans in my life (including family members). WTH are you actually still doing on that site of horrors? The world wants nothing to do with you. You are the problem. You are the enemy within. You are the ones that destroyed America. I cannot understand why you would continue to subject yourself to russian nazi ideals. I cannot fathom why you continue to emerge yourself in such a hell scape. It's like you are simply not smart enough to figure it out. I can only assume it's intentional treason.
Fuxk russian nazis. STOP IT.
It might be this really nasty flu i'm suffering, but I've had enough. It's time to fight back. Any person that wants to continue to be an enemy to the entire free world purposefully is getting blocked out of my life. That includes any business or restaurants etc. This is ridiculous. It's time to take a stand. I am simply going to stop beating around the bush and put it in very simple black and white terms. If you go nazi, I will no longer recognize you. There is only one reason you are continuing to bring evil to the world, and that's because you are doing it intentionally. Time to draw red lines.
However, it is the pace of development that will give rivals pause for thought.
Probably, but DeepSeek and now S1 are poking potentially very big holes in the AI business model. From The Economist.
In a preprint posted online in February, researchers at Stanford University and the University of Washington claim to have gone several orders of magnitude better, training their s1 LLM for just $6. Phrased another way, DeepSeek took 2.7m hours of computer time to train; s1 took just under seven hours.
No one knows yet if it will be truly-truthful but looking at the nay sayers and Nazi comments it wont matter to them as they clearly prefer a version of "truth" as delivered by the hysterical mainstream media liars. Musk may or may not be genuine but how many of those stupid people saying he's a Nazi actually watched the full video context? As public AI still appears to still be probability engines we will get the prevailing narrative on anything contraversial. They don't go through raw evidence and come up with a logical theory, they parrot the most frequent human arguments and assertions, most of which are driven by pecuniary interest. Most people don't want the truth anyway, they want comfort that they are in the right gang and will be accepted.
The various fish wrappers the over the he years published under the banner "The Truth" or Veritas or Pravda etc are eloquent illustrations of the truth Musk and fellow travellers on the AI path to damnation actually have in mind.
The popular and populist success of these tabloid rags is testimony that the polloi have little interest in any other "truth."
Newsprint media is largely deceased and the few remaining rags, diseased with their shameful banners passed to the electronic media.
The concept truth in logic is subtle and not really all that transferrable to a world where every assertion no matter how true it might appear is contingent on no counterexample being produced. Scientific "truths" are no exception having at best provisional validity in so far as they deal comprehensively with and are not contradicted by the observational evidence. Presumably this dependence on observation means most theories evolve through refinement and generalisation rather than being completely abandoned.
Only Man can look Truth full in the face and revile her as the mother of lies.
Did we watch the full video? Of the Nazi salutes? Yes, thanks. It was pretty impressively clear that he bit his lip to avoid shouting "Zieg Hiel" at the same time!
But you know trunp admitted elno helped him rig the election in that same set of speeches at that event, right? Did you miss that? Many people did, distracted by something else. Wonder what, eh?
Context, too. The one person who knows for sure that it was a nazi salute *has yet to deny it*
