The LLM is being presented as a tool that can automate many jobs.
I think the real reason why all social media companies are involved in it is something much worse. They want to use it to manipulate public opinion.
Those “accidents” with Grok shows that it is being designed in that direction, and later it will be under many accounts that look like regular people. This is also why Twitter now a subsidary under xAI.
IMO tech bros’ main goal for this technology is to use it to manipulate public opinion on social media. It is perfect for it and the “daydreaming” (bullshitting) is perfect.
Notice that all social media are involved in it, Twitter was “sold” to xAI, the recent incident with Grok about South African apartheid. The 10 year ban to regulate it by states etc.
They talk about it increasing productivity (and are hoping that it could be used for that too), but if people would know it is meant for disinformation, they would be even more against skipping copyright for it.
I think the primary goal of LLM is to use it on social media to influence public opinion.
Notice that all companies that have social media are heavily invested in it. Also the recent fiasco with Grok taking about South African apartheid without being asked shows that such functionality is being added.
I think talking about it to replace white collar jobs is a distraction. Maybe it can some, but the “daydreaming” (such a nice word for bullshit) I think makes the technology not very useful in that direction.
Also please continue to protest, march, boycott, write to representatives (especially if they are Republican) etc.
It might seem like it is pointless, as it doesn’t have direct effect, as most people works think.
But those actions encourage others with power to do the right thing (government workers, politicians, judges, lawyers etc). It also discourages ones that cooperate with the administration. Companies often look for the easy way, don’t let the easy way be easy. Paul, Weiss for example is receiving effects of capitulating so fast to trump.
Musk is hiding from media now (we should continue protests at Tesla’s as well, he is still in the government, but got a bit smarter)
Isn’t that what they are doing?
The 2nd version of this container should add purity percentage.
It’s basically distilled water, no?
It is getting dangerous even if you are a citizen.
I saw videos where people (not immigrants) were harassing ICE. They usually get high on power, so make them hate their jobs.
Looks like Diaz guy purposely moved down to fuck the guy behind him.
Sadly, the best use case for LLM is to pretend to be a human on social media and influence their opinion.
Musk accidentally showed that’s what they are actually using AI for, by having Grok inject disinformation about South Africa.
trust but verify
The thing is that LLM is a professional bullshitter. It is actually trained to produce text that can fool ordinary person into thinking that it was produced by a human. The facts come 2nd.
Well, it is certain that the Twitter guy didn’t do it, as despite the image he promotes of himself, he is not an engineer. He asked of someone to do it.
But this fiasco is highlighting something very important.
Since his bot has mechanism to inject opinions on specific topics, it means the technology is likely being trained to replace normal users with bots that will try to influence opinions of regular people.
It should be signal to drop social media especially Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

There is some evidence that tabulating machines were tempered with. I was wondering if calling a bomb threat wasn’t part of it.
When alarm was called and everyone left the building someone could get in and switched software.
First of all, this is about being PoC not about having certain political view.
Or do you think there is a reason that people with different skin color vote certain way?
Second, if this was the community I encountered some time ago, then it was mere tagging so people couldn’t pretend to be someone who they aren’t. You still could post there without being black.
But anyway this was about political groups. I don’t see “leftists” subreddits requiring a purity check like I see on nearly every conservative subreddit.
They actually waved to get to him, as he was not loyal. He started investigation about Russia involvement in 2016 election and after Trump fired him, her got special counsel, Mueller.
This is just something they finally found on him, even though 86 means to remove.
Reposting, up upvoting does shit. We should protest. There are refuse fascism protests organized on May 17: https://refusefascism.org/2025/05/04/trumpmust-go-now-may-actions/
You can also use https://mobilize.us/ to find a nearby protests near you.
This is not because of Comey (as others pointed he is a piece of shit), but if they will go after him, they will go after us too.
You mean tag users and automatically block comments from users that weren’t approved?
Why it has two sets of horns? It looks like first one weren’t intimidating enough so they added another set to wrap the “DEMON”.
