      Yup. And a good chunk of the people who left went on to the next proprietary or centralized clone following in former Twitter’s footsteps.

      I’m starting to run out of ideas about how to get through to the kind of people who touch an electric fence twice.

        Turn the voltage up high enough that they can’t do it a third time. Jk. That works for fences but doesn’t really work with the metaphor.

    It takes a special kind of “talent” to mess up the use case* transformer models were originally developed for.

    Oh no our chatbot we intentionally made to be offensive and horrible is doing exactly what we programmed it to, I hope nobody writes an article about this as though it’s a mistake and gets people to come and see for themselves!

    Some examples from the article:

    Example 1:

    One South Korean user, for instance, posted an otherwise tame video of two video game characters, only for the auto-translate feature to allege that it was a “c**shot video with my stepmom.”

    Example 2:

    “Grok auto translate is inaccurate, text actually translates to ‘Man grinds and brews his own coffee during a commercial flight,’ not ‘Man masturbates and jerks off to his own coffee during commercial flight,'” an appended community note reads.

      ‘Man masturbates and jerks off to his own coffee during commercial flight,’

      I mean that’s not unusual behavior for Aeropress owners.

      I’m not defending Grok here but if you ever talked to any coffee snob, it does sounds like they love to jerk off over their own coffee.
