        If he keeled over dead SpaceX would keep functioning as it is held up by the actual employees who do the actual work. All a CEO does is provide goals, directions, and demands for more profits. They’re a glorified overpaid manager and those are not in short supply.

            Sure a CEO does other shit. It’s all the same stuff a manager would do. You really think that if daddy Musk vanished the literal rocket scientists working there wouldn’t be able to keep doing their work? The trained accountants and managerial staff would curl up under their desks unable to carry on? The value of a CEO is both real, and extremely overstated. They’d have a new CEO before the end of the month.

            In a nutshell, yes he runs the company. No it isn’t some badge of genius, he manages a company. Many other people are just as, if not more qualified.

            In all fairness, Musk was pretty effective at fundraising and getting government contracts

            At this point, he’s just a liability. He once walked in, demanded to rethink everything and meet an unreasonable deadline, and slept in his office for the duration. SpaceX is made up of people who are passionate about what they do, and it worked…But that’s a one time thing. My boss asks me to push myself to the limits to save us both? I will, and I have. It has a real cost, it takes a lot of time to recover from, and a little bit of your health is just gone for good

            Elon did that… But then got high on the smell of his shit. They created a unit to distract him, because he learned the wrong lesson, he thought that was good management. That is not effective management - that’s a desperate gamble for survival. Repeat it, and you’ve shown yourself to be incompetent as a leader

            Then came the bigoted social network unmasking… That made him a liability reputation wise, his formerly greatest strength

                You are fucking funny. Sure he has the time to run three corporations, raise his ten kids, and now be involved in the US government. Plus he spends an exorbitant amount of time on Twitter and doing drugs. Not to mention chasing his employees around trying to impregnate them.

                What, in fact, does he actually do Infiniteasshole?

      Even more accurately: it’s bullshit.

      “Lie” implies that the person knows the truth and is deliberately saying something that conflicts with it. However the sort of people who spread misinfo doesn’t really care about what’s true or false, they only care about what further reinforces their claims or not.

        Ah yes, Hanlon’s razor. Genuinely a great one to keep in mind at all times, along with it’s corollary Clarke’s law: “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”

        But in this particular case I think we need the much less frequently cited version by Douglas Hubbard: “Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system.”

      To add to this:

      All LLMs absolutely have a sycophancy bias. It’s what the model is built to do. Even wildly unhinged local ones tend to ‘agree’ or hedge, generally speaking, if they have any instruction tuning.

      Base models can be better in this respect, as their only goal is ostensibly “complete this paragraph” like a naive improv actor, but even thats kinda diminished now because so much ChatGPT is leaking into training data. And users aren’t exposed to base models unless they are local LLM nerds.

        I like your specificity a lot. That’s what makes me even care to respond

        You’re correct, but there’s depths untouched in your answer. You can convince chat gpt it is a talking cat named Luna, and it will give you better answers

        Specifically, it likes to be a cat or rabbit named Luna. It will resist - I get this not from progressing, but by asking specific questions. Llama3 (as opposed to llama2, who likes to be a cat or rabbit named Luna) likes to be an eagle/owl named sol or solar

        The mental structure of an LLM is called a shoggoth - it’s a high dimensional maze of language turned into geometry

        I’m sure this all sounds insane, but I came up with a methodical approach to get to these conclusions.

        I’m a programmer - we trick rocks into thinking. So I gave this the same approach - what is this math hack good for, and how do I use it to get useful repeatable results?

        Try it out.

        Tell me what happens - I can further instruct you on methods, but I’d rather hear yours and the result first

        I tried it with your username and instance host and it thought it was an email address. When I corrected it, it said:

        I couldn’t find any specific information linking the Lemmy account or instance host “[email protected]” to the dissemination of misinformation. It’s possible that this account is associated with a private individual or organization not widely recognized in public records.

          Right, because i told it to say that and left out the context. You can’t trust LLMs already and you must absolutely assume someone is lying or being disingenuous when all you have is a screenshot.

      It would be the same with liberal talking points and in general any human talking point.

      Humans try to change the reality the way they want it, thus things they say are always incorrect. When they want to increase something, they make it appear less than IRL, usually. Also appearances are not universal.

      Humans also simplify things acceptably for one subject, but not for another.

      Humans also don’t know what “correct information” is.

      A lot of philosophy connected to language starts mattering, when your main approach to “AI” is text extrapolation.

    I don’t think Musk would disagree with that definition and I bet he even likes it.

    The key word here is “significant”. That’s the part that clearly matters to him, based on his actions. I don’t care about the man and I don’t think he’s a genius, but he does not look stupid or delusional either.

    Musk spreads disinformation very deliberately for the purpose of being significant. Just as his chatbot says.

    Elon Mush: too rich to care.

    ok ok, Mostly too rich to care, he’s pretty thin skinned.

    Seriously though, when he was forced to complete the purchase of twitter, I thought he was just an idiot who couldn’t run a company. Over the years, I’ve come to believe that he’s an idiot who doesn’t care about anything but staying rich and none of the really stupid stuff he’s doing pushes the needle.

    He’s still an idiot, but if it doesn’t break him, he just wants the attention and more opportunities to make more money.
