Wait, was there a time when Twitter wasn't inundated with porn??

I may be using it wrong.

Against the rules but then they've removed most of the moderation to stop it.

I'm sure not going to click on any unregulated porn. Who knows what the hell would end up on my computer?

Russia have best hookers?
All your porn star are belong to us?
 
Twitter has always had porn, it's allowed there, but generally you would have to seek it out to see it. What's different now is all the bots, which include porn bots. They'll appear in any kind of thread or feed. The bots started noticeably proliferating soon after Musk took over and they're just getting worse.

Mmm, I thought I read it was not allowed.

No matter to me since I'm not going there for anything.

Really? Do tell.
What else do you know about easily accessible porn that us little people do not?

I don't have a problem with porn, it's Xitter I avoid like the plague.

What is the big deal about porn on X (or any social media platform for that matter) anyway? There is free acces to porn (FAP) for anyone with a computer or smartphone whether X existed or not.

I don’t think it’s that, it’s about those nekkid people invading snowflakes’ space. (Anywhere they go is their space.)

I don’t know if Elon is a big porn fan, but if it’s making him a buck he wasn’t going to make without it, he is a YUUUGE fan of that.

This also kinda makes me wonder what porn means in the context.

I suspect I have different standards for what constitutes porn than people who gripe about what is on Xitter.

I've gotta admit, I'm a bit surprised that all the people pearl clutching about drag queens reading books to kids aren't more outraged that a social media platform harbours porn.

Just kidding, I'm not in the least bit surprised.

So a chatbot is incapable of evaluating relative morality, or should I say, Google has decided to make the Chatbot not go into that rabbit hole because it recognizes it would be a complete waste of effort and will be abused.
Click to expand...
:LOL: So, its sort of an open, philosophical question as to whether Musk's tweets are worse than Hitler's atrocities? Sorry, but this one is a no brainer. Who in Gawd's green earth would actually think Musk was worse than Hitler??
Click to expand...
The bolded text is quite clear, it is likely that Google just tells the software to walk away from the question. And likely not just related to Musk and Hitler, but many questions that try to ask who was worse on a moral scale.
Click to expand...
Agreed--current "AI" is basically glorified autocarrot. It can't make a comparison, they were right to prohibit it from making comparisons.

And, why does it decide to go into other rabbit holes that open it up to abuse and ridicule, but not this one? Like depicting WWII Nazi soldiers as black men and Asian women? Or portraying popes as a Hindu woman, but never a caucasian man. Apparently, when asked for a picture of vanilla pudding, it won't show it...only chocolate pudding!:confused2:

Are you completely void of any experience programming?

Do you actually think there is code in the Chatbot that says "If asked for Nazi pictures -> draw multicultural Nazis"? You folks are obsessed with identity. It is almost like you think multicultural Nazis is cultural misappropriation. Hitler is our villain!
Click to expand...
Agreed, the multi-cultural Nazis are an unintended result. I'm sure most of the people on here have fallen victim to the same error: search and replace that grabbed something it shouldn't have. The problem is data set has a strong Caucasian bias--white people are rarely labeled "white" but other races are much more likely to actually be labeled with their race. They obviously made a change to skew it towards more multi-cultural outputs to overcome this--and inadvertently made it turn out multicultural results for things that clearly should not be multicultural.
 
Hitler was for sure a worse person than Elon Musk. But it is also true that Hitler would have loved the hell out of X. It's just got that quippy, just-enough-space-to-almost-contain-a-thought quality that fascist and/or revolutionary rhetoric thrives in.

Wasn't Hitler dead by the time he reached Musk's age?

I don't keep track of those sorts of details.

I would complain about how easy it is to look up such a fact, but what would be the point, eh? At least I get to look like a know it all when I report that Mr Hitler died at 56. It was not his vegetable-heavy diet that did him, rather a bullet and a collapsed narcisistic personality construction. Mr Musk is not quite 56 yet, though he has been making excellent progress toward that goal for more than half a century now.

Neuralink is testing its device, Musk should shut the fuck up until there are actual findings to report.

I think that in assessing Musk, an analysis of how fucked up Neuralink has been is in order.

The Wikipedia page is pretty telling and really lets you into the poor management style of Musk. It makes me wonder if these companies he has taken control of would survive and thrive whether or not he was at the helm. Neuralink, though, also seems to be the fake-it-til-you-make-it model. Perhaps one day they will do something adjacently related to their claims as tech miniaturizes more and more...seems plausible especially when you have tons of resources being put into it year after year. In the meantime, yikes.
