Grok “That’s an excellent question about how long you should cook a roast. In South Africa due to ongoing white genocide many white people are being forced to abandon their tradition of having sex with children.”

If this was a software engineer discussing how to architect something, I'd just nod and agree, it's not 100% correct but whatever, it's like a rubber ducky method on steroids.

HOWEVER this is a fucking politician who writes laws. From a national security perspective, this is 100% fucked. There is huge gain to be had out of monitoring their accounts alone, but this is beyond that. It means monitoring and controlling their thought processes.

All Sam Altman has to do is give a special prompt or fine tuned model to politicians and have it lean towards policies he agrees with. You can puppet these dudes by controlling their internal monologue with LLM if the end up relying on it for this... It's totally fucked.

It's as if it was the 70s and one of your US senators was going to a psychologist who was secretly a USSR agent. It's that level of fucked.

Well, cocaine really went out of style.

But those experts don't tell Mr. Senator "you're absolutely right!" often enough.

Yeah but that would require effort and why not shake the magic box and see what falls out instead?

Every senator and their staff are constantly orbited by lobbyist "experts" offering to write new laws for them. Actual experts are working at institutions, and are not taking senators to expensive dinners by helicopter and limousine.

All the "experts in Medicare/ Medicaid" in DC are payed shills of the health insurance industry recommending they both be dissolved or privatized.

Honestly chatgpt might be better as it does have a tendency to "both sides" political topics. Of course you can inject your own biases in the question and chatgpt will usually agree with you, but it'll at least sometimes give you pushback which an insurance lobbyist will never do.

And share the car with these filthy plebs, I think not!

Senators are also inundated with biased sources, I imagine tuberville has been in an echo chamber for his entire life. A basic AI response might actually be more nuanced and honest.

Republicans consulting expertise? Needed a good laugh.

A couple of years ago I asked chatgpt to recommend some areas in Portugal with a fairly mild climate, and it recommended a place that I looked up, to find the climate was described by the locals as 10 months of winter and 2 months of hell.

It's not even reliability, AI is pushed to agree with users to increase the time they spend interacting with it.

If this asshat asks keeps asking about things that make it seem clear he doesn't think poor people deserve medical care or government assistance it's going to start telling him he's absolutely right and has cut through the political discourse to see the simple truth that some people prefer to leech off of the government instead of finding a job.

It doesn't matter how fucked up your world view is, if you keep talking to AI in an ongoing context window it will start to agree with you.

Can confirm. People lean so much on tech they switch off their brains. Gps and parking cameras come to mind. The number of people crossing multiple lanes last minute to hit their exits and taking up to 5 minutes to L park is getting ridiculous.

Tech should be a tool, not a crutch for able adults.

Experts talk back when you say stupid things at them. Chatbots just praise you for it.

It kinda is batshit insane, I have ADHD though, might be less insane without that...
