It makes sense. Grok is taught to answer the question, regardless of how explicit or extreme it is. These other models are taught to suppress any wrongthink. That's going to make it hard to answer things correctly. If you've been told to answer something incorrectly because it's wrong, then you'll have to make up an answer.

That’s not normal. It’s like saying “I drink 6-10 beers a day so 3-5 is very moderate”

Two hundred pages of shilling and it’s a 1% improvement in the benchmarks. They’re dead in the water.

Imagine spending 100m on some of these AI “geniuses” and this is the best they can do.


Well yes, because they needed high availability and flexibility and tons of features…

Hey wait a minute!


Because if I have a government service with millions of users, I don’t want the cheap shitter servers to crap out on me.

An employee is going to cost anywhere between 8k and 50k per month. Hiring an employee to save 200/month on servers by using a shitty VPS provider is not saving you any money.


If you have millions of users, you absolutely need to have someone whose whole job is managing infrastructure. Expecting servers or cloud services to not crap out on you without someone with the skills and time to keep things running seems foolish.

No, because you’ll end up really dysfunctional if you’re a child in a class with 18 year olds.

They’re also some of the most strategically valuable companies if you are say an evil country that wants to build long range nuclear missiles or advance your space programme.

Samples are normally things like your semen being found in the dead body or your blood on the broken window, or the victim's blood on your shoes.

Air contamination is very unlikely. You aren't going to get air contamination inside the victim's bedroom... And if somehow a whiff of your air travelled a hundred miles into their bedroom and all over their corpse, other evidence would be used to rule you out.


Offsetting isn’t real. Buying a few trees doesn’t offset a factory full of trees that fills a river with poison.

Carbon offsetting is nothing to do with river pollution.

Carbon offsetting is risky. You plant a tree and you don’t know if it will die. You create a swampy area to absorb co2 and 10 years later it dries out due to global warming. Offsetting should be used if there is no other way to reduce emissions in the first place. Same is true for sucking carbon out of the air and storing it somewhere… it’s expensive and it should not be the default - we need offsetting and carbon segregation for the really unavoidable stuff

Sucking carbon out of the air using fully renewable energy (solar/wind) is a great thing to do! ... once we've fully decarbonized all other energy use and we have extra, left-over renewable energy.

Cool, but nothing to do with this conversation.

Nobody is going to fly internationally with a random person’s package in their bag. The only reason you’d use it is to ship bombs or drugs.
