AI Summary:\
California Governor Gavin Newsom posted two photographs on X. X users immediately turned to Grok, Elon Musk’s AI, to fact-check the veracity of the image. For that, they tagged @grok in a reply to the tweet in question. Chatbots, including ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, are large language models (LLMs) that learn to predict the next word in a sequence by analysing enormous troves of data from the internet. The outputs of chatbots are reflections of the patterns and biases in the data it is trained on, which makes them prone to factual errors and misleading information called “hallucinations” For Grok, these inherent challenges are further complicated because of Musk’s instructions that the chatbot our analysis of the 434 replies that tagged Grok in Newsom’s post found that the majority of requests, nearly 68 percent, wanted Grok to either confirm whether the images Newsom posted were authentic or get context about National Guard deployment. Notably, a few users lashed out because Grok had made the correction, and wouldn’t endorse their flawed belief. Grok was called on 2.3 million times in just one week to answer posts on X. Data accessed by Al Jazeera through X’s API shows how deeply this behaviour has taken root. X is keeping people locked into a misinformation echo chamber, in which they’re asking a tool known for hallucinating, to fact-check for them. Grok incorrectly blamed a trans pilot for a helicopter crash in Washington, DC. He claimed the assassination attempt on Trump was partially staged. Echoed anti-Semitic stereotypes of Hollywood and misidentified an Indian journalist. Grok vs Community Notes For years, social media users benefited from context on information they encountered online with interventions such as labeling state media or introducing fact-checking warnings. After buying X in 2022, Musk ended those initiatives and loosened speech restrictions. X piloted the “AI Note Writer” enabling developers to create AI bots to write community notes alongside human contributors on misleading posts. This human-AI system works better than what human contributes can manage alone, researchers say. X is trying to bridge this gap by supercharging the pace of creation of contextual notes. Grok gave inaccurate results on the death toll of the Holocaust, which it said was due to a programming error. In June, Grok cited data from government sources and Reuters. Musk has also chided Grok for not sharing his distrust of mainstream news outlets. X deleted the inflammatory posts later that day, and xAI removed the guidelines to not adhere to political correctness from its code base. Researchers expressed surprise over the reintroduction of the directive for Grok 4 to be “politically incorrect” despite this code having been removed from its predecessor, Grok 3.

Israeli civilians operating heavy machinery in Gaza can earn as much as $9,000 per month, TheMarker reported on Thursday.Nadav Rapaport (Middle East Eye)
#BRICS has declared the #Gaza Strip an “inseparable part of the occupied Palestinian Territory” and called for a unified Palestinian governance under the Palestinian Authority.
BRICS also called for the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and all parts of the occupied Palestinian Territory, as well as the release of all hostages and detainees held in violation of international law.
In a joint declaration, the bloc reaffirmed its support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and an independent State of Palestine. The statement also endorsed full Palestinian membership at the United Nations.
The member states expressed “grave concern” over #Israel’s continued military operations in Gaza and the blocking of humanitarian assistance, strongly condemning the use of #starvation as a weapon of war.
Brazil’s president says the world must act to stop what he describes as an Israeli “ #genocide” in Gaza as leaders from 10 emerging BRICS nations gathered in Rio de Janeiro.
“We cannot remain indifferent to the genocide carried out by #Israel in Gaza, the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians and the use of hunger as a weapon of war,” President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told leaders from China, India and other nations on Sunday.

Dear Ya'Quib (😆),
Remember God had said there would be enmity between the serpent's seed and the woman's seed.
If the serpent's seed (Cain) would die so soon--and the line ended--then what God had proclaimed would be would then not be.
So God marked Cain and kept him from death not for the sake of Cain, but for the sake of God keeping faithful to His own word of what would be: an enmity between the seeds.
"I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been -- every one finding me doth slay me."
What people does this sound like, btw?
This isn't just a curse on Cain himself, but on his discendants--just as covenants with Abraham or Jacob are not only with an individual--or how descendants are referred to by a forefather ("Jacob's trouble", "Esau I have hated," "David will have an everlasting kingdom," etc.).
Sincerely,
Someone on the toilet who has to go do an errand now
P.S. Rose, the Mark of the Beast was that of keeping under the approval of the church (dragon's tongue, lamb's horns)--minding in thoughts and deeds (forehead and hand)--under threat of excommunication, anathema, etc. (no longer able to sell, buy, regardless of whether a peasant or a nobleman, etc.).
P.P.S.
I am typing this before leaving for a day of errands, so I won't be writing on it more today, at least. Everyone have a good day 🎉

The specific "burned out" is a common killer among folks that try this: community management
"Well, two years in, and I cannot say this place is any better, just differently bad if not worse. Too many people here seem to think that because it's not "corpo social media" that anything goes, and boy do some people really run with that."
I can't say I blame them. People can be horrible. Managing a community also means managing the worst of people. I had a former employer that did community management of a dating site. The level of mental trauma the front line workers endured was more than I could imagine. This is also why I completely understand instance admins that follow an aggressive blocking/banning approach. Beehaw put up tall walls and defederated aplenty. Blahaj.zone actively bans based upon user activity that is even on other unrelated instances. I can't fault either of these approaches because the alternative is dealing with the worst users en masse.
I hope that instance owner/manager gets some of that much deserved rest.

You might get away with a totally anonymous instance which you are funding via cryptodonations and which you are hosting at a provider who really does not care about KYC, but that is also illegal in many jurisdictions. There is totally a case for a lemmy instance admin to be known publically, to be able to interact with the community in person, to be able to go to meetups or to be able to give talks at conventions.
And if you are not living in some country with totally crazy politics, most local laws are totally fine. Do not post hardcore pornography. Do not spread hatred or calls for murder and hate speach. Keep the piracy a little bit less obvious. Don't allow hardcore pornography and have a solid process to keep child porn from your platform. That might be different if you're living in Iran, Saudi-Arabia or Afghanistan, but in a western country it is totally ok to be in line with local laws.

Someone going to develop for the LITERAL ANARCHIST SOCIAL MEDIA STRUCTURE and then getting surprised that everyone on it is anti-capitalist and anti-billionaire is the epitome of arrogance and lack of self-awareness.

in reply to Sal • • •You're making authoritative claims to what the Fediverse is, who the people posting here are, and what their collectives beliefs and goals are. The Fediverse certainly isn't a monolith that you can do that to. Hate isn't an identity, nor is it the goal of the Fediverse. I think this part of the original closure notice may apply to your line of responses here.
"The worst part is that they're so caught up in their own self-righteousness that they can't see they're just as bad or worse than what they're spewing violent rhetoric at; trying to talk sense into anyone or de-escalate things is immediately met with "bootlicker", wild accusations, and/or worse."

Unknown parent • • •I mean, if you wanted to be in the literal anarchist social media network structure and not see people hating billionaires/politicians/nazis, why did you come here in the first place?
The entire concept of the Fediverse is anarchist. Of course anti-capitalists at large would be on it, because the capitalists are all over every other social media network. And besides, Tumblr constantly tells billionaires/politicians to die despite being corporate-run social media and literally nothing comes out of it.

I mean, I share the feeling of not wanting to make any big announcement when it's not usable, but at least putting out a link to the repo and some roadmap would help others to see if they would be interested in helping you.

You should appreciate the humans that create this social space by being here and being social, and appreciate the people who create this social space by building the space itself
Thank you for making that point, people being paid makes a huge difference.
