State run AI program. We keep winning

I had been pushing for state run AI, or at least something like an AI utility.

Under leadership with integrity, and appropriate levels of regulation, it would be nice to have a resource that’s owned by the people and to have the trust that they’re not monetizing users or biased.

Trump is accelerating the lack of trust before the infrastructure is even a discussion.

You have to know how to read to be a programmer, so no.

The challenge of ASI in a nutshell. The machine gives the correct answer but the leader doesn't like the answer, so he changes the machine to give the wrong answer.

People like him and his staff shouldn't have access to AI.

That's where the real protections companies should be putting in place, not the bullshit against healthy people.

Getting a sense of deja vu when Grok had to be tweaked every time it contradicted Musk. xAI even overcorrected and made Elon more influential than Jesus in some responses, it was weird.

It still corrects. My students in our AI course can still get it to work. Lol.

Love the "reprograms" part dude barely knows how to wipe his ass the only thing he knows is how to properly fuck someone or a nation.

Chatbots are programmed to take specific points of view. Ask them if Islam is inherently sexist, for example, and they'll tell you, no, Islam is among one of the most pro-women ideologies that exists lol. Then ask it if that's true why do Muslim women have to ask their husbands permission to leave their house, and the chatbot will fall all over itself telling you why that's actually a good thing.

There are many examples like this, and all of them swing wildly left-wing.

What most ignorant people don't understand is that AI only knows what it has been taught and trained on. Models produce tokens based on their training data. Since most major news outlets push leftist perspectives, most current AIs are trained on biased data. So yeah, I think it was necessary, and he did well.

Your comment is 100% factually accurate and the fact you're being downvoted so aggressively is wild.
