    It’s time to recalibrate my gradient on the big picture.

    I guess this is AI-insider wit, but I’m so glad not to think or speak like these people do.

      It is, gradient descent is what you use to find optimal model parameters.

      the algorithm takes a step, computes a gradient (whether any nearby options are better), then moves in that direction to improve the parameters, in a loop.

        Adding to the above, one of the challenges of GD is how to know whether the global optimum reported by the function isn’t just one of its many imposters (local optima). That’s the “big picture” he’s talking about. Working with Elon was a dead end.

          It seems obviously so. I don’t think I could hire someone who worked on Grok’s deep fake porn engine, ever.

          Between the working for a nazi, child porn issue, and all, it’s a bad fucking look.

      It’s language for people who advertise they know something about “AI,” but couldn’t implement it if their life depended on it.

      TBH I’ve never heard that one, but it sounds like they’re trying to use “gradient descent” in a sentence.

    Most recently, xAI has come under fire after Grok began generating nonconsensual sexual images of real people in response to X user prompts.

    That’s an understatement…

        Please don’t use the phrase “CP” but instead the correct term ‘CSAM’.

        ‘Porn’ suggests consent

          While CSAM might be the word people are using now, how did you determine “porn” means the creation of it involved consent and not that the contents contain sexually explicit material?

            The operative word is “suggests”.

            Just like I would “suggest” that instead of being pedantic about child abuse, you go have a wash, go outside and get some sunlight on your skin.

      I guarantee you, he only did it because he thought it was a bad business deal.

      All of these “people” would literally make machines to rape children if they believed it would make them more money.

      We need to stop giving them power.

    It’s almost like he and his buddy don know nothing about running a business and fostering human relationships. A couple of small time Napoleons with large time capital can make quite a mess if given half a chance. And currently they are being given a whole chance.

      That will never happen. For these people “being poor” still means having a shit ton of cash.
      All muskyboy’s companies could collapse today and he’d still have millions and millions in a bank somewhere.

      The only way this person, and billionaires like him, will feel any consequences is if they are dragged to a fucking guillotine and served justice medieval style.

      When the country he’s helping hold hostage, move as a unit to do something about these people.

      It’s actually possible to go far enough with that, until we have a situation where there’d be nowhere for them to run no matter what country they ran to. The problem is, the only country that could start this process won’t do what they need to.

      This, like pretty much every other major issue, is in the hands of US citizens.

    It says that xAI lost their second cofounder, but then it turns out that he just left the company.
