  • The Cause of Grok’s Increasing Antisemitism? Apparently, Two Lines of Code (Update: One of the Lines of Code Was Removed)

  • "...deep analysis finding diverse sources representing ALL parties..."

    Nazi party is a party. Grok is making like his forbearers by just following orders

  • ^-- to my knowledge, this is accurate.

    System prompts are the easy but wildly unpredictable way to change LLM output, but we really can't back-trace or debug that output, we guess at what impact the s.p. edits will have.

  • I sort of agonized over the wording - if the system prompt is uploaded to Github, is it code, or is it documentation?

    The lines are numbered like code, and I'm used to debugging software pointing out code errors by line numbers. So, code.

    Don't worry, if you're confused, we'll all be thrown into the same chaotic soup of coding using natural language :) With vibe coding, we're probably already there and we just don't feel the ramifications yet (or the endemic unemployment in IT is the ramification and we just haven't associated the bullet wound to the loud bang yet)

  • I've noticed that, too.

    The speed signage is nice when the car picks it up, but I'd call mine 80% accurate. Imperfect, but fine for a driver assist, I know not to rely on it.

    Crazy move to put it in a 99.9999%-accuracy-required design.

    Also... wait, I recognize your name. You're a Mod on the SpaceX board, aren't you? I thought you said you weren't a fan of Musk?

  • Edit: Aren't you a mod on the SpaceX board? I'm not sure I trust you when you say you're "not a fan of Tesla or Musk" considering you run a fan club for one of Musk's companies XD

    I'm the automotive equivalent of a muckraker, so yeah, Tesla does enough weird stuff that I talk about them a lot. They're hardly the ONLY news I cover.

    Take this article, for instance, it was on the front page of Hacker News for a couple days, got decent circulation in European automotive magazines, too: https://fuelarc.com/tech/pop-up-ads-in-your-jeep-the-latest-stellantis-innovation/

    Believe what you like, but the videos in that article are just videos, it's not like those aren't first-hand driving footage just because you dislike where you found them.

  • That part really pissed me off.

    I think folks see it for what it is. Sales are cratering, public spaces that are not twitter are increasingly intolerant of the Tesla fanboys glazing the supposed tech advantage ( that we can see with our own eyes is not real )

  • I covered that crash.

    FSD is never enabled at the moment of impact, because FSD shuts off less than a second before impact, so that Tesla's lawyers and most loyal fans can make exactly the arguments you are making. Torque would be applied to the steering wheel when any vehicle departs the roadway, as the driver is thrown around like a ragdoll as they clutch the wheel. Depending on the car, torque can also be applied externally to the tires by rough terrain to shift the steering wheel.

    No evidence to suggest the driver was distracted. Prove me wrong if you have that evidence.

  • NYC Mayoral candidate Mamdani is talking about making busses free, and that makes a radical shitload of sense.

    Free autotaxis would be a boon for productivity and personal freedom, like AI promises to be but democratized for everybody rather than just the richest fraction of a percent.
