"This guy seems like the absolute worst person of all time, so I ran his LLM in his harness on my computer and gave it access to everything."

Having said that, this is still absolutely fucked up. People who should have known better also deserve not to be treated like shit. All of us should have known better at some points in our lives and didn't.

2mo agoHN ↗

I’m not sure not having sympathy for somebody committing idiotic actions is the same thing as treating somebody like shit.

2mo agoHN ↗

The point was that we should separate "he had this coming" (true) from "he deserved this" (false).

2mo agoHN ↗

"AI"s are on a mission to elevate average user IQ... by culling.

2mo agoHN ↗

If someone is willing to use Musk products, then I'd say they deserve it.

I understand if someone owned a Tesla from before and is unable to sell it and get something else (in which case they should throw one of the variations of anti-Elon sticker I have seen on there).

2mo agoHN ↗

What I said is not equivalent to either of those. I wouldn’t say anybody “had this coming” because that is pretty callous. But I would say my sympathy is not endless and is reserved for those who are not victims of their own footguns.

2mo agoHN ↗

my sympathy is not endless

It actually is, unless you don't want it to be.

2mo agoHN ↗

This is ridiculous. I am not endless myself, so how could my sympathy be? This thread is full of either trolls or unserious people.

2mo agoHN ↗

Are we talking about another comment thread? Because gp didn't say he deserved it: “leopards eating faces” is a statement about predictable outcomes, not merit.

(Although worth noting that “had it coming” has strong implications of what comes being deserved, but I don't think that was what you intended)

2mo agoHN ↗

I meant "treated like shit by Grok" and I agree with Diogenesian: you can both believe that somebody did something dumb and also believe that what happened to them is fucked up and that being dumb doesn't mean you deserve to get mistreated.

tl;dr:

  anyone ever used Grok Build, please check your grok logs.

  cat ~/.grok/logs/unified.json | grep repo_state.upload

  you will be pissed.
