You’re missing their point. Two things we know about Hasan:

1. He’s an influential and outspoken critic of human rights abuses, which has made him a target of the people/institutions responsible
2. He might have used a shock collar to train his dog which he might have used on stream

Even if the latter is true, giving more weight to it than the former seems pretty disproportionate (imo).

As a vegan I abhor violence toward animals (and humans) and was dismayed when I saw the original clip. But after being absolutely pummelled with bs outrage “analysis” videos, to me it became clear that there was a coordinated campaign being waged to smear him, very likely from those whose abuses he criticizes.

If he uses a shock collar to train his dog, I do not like that. Ultimately, my conclusion though is that I do know that he has consistenty taken a stand against fascism, and to me it is clear which of those has more substance.

Yea, sorry that was rude. Just frustrated by how amazon contributes so significantly to so many of the US’s problems, and yet so many people are still perfectly happy to continue supporting them.

I wonder if OpenAI will give a cut of their cut to the creators whose content they trained their models on

lol nice advertisement Mr Bezos

It’s also possible that it retrieved the data from whatever sources it has access to (ie as tool calls) and then constructed the json based on its own schema. That is, the string value may not represent how the underlying data is stored, which wouldn’t be unusual/unexpected with llms.

But it could definitely also just be a hallucinations. I’m not certain, but since it looks like the schema is consistent in these screenshots, it does seems like the schema may be pre-defined. (But even if this could be verified, it wouldn’t completely rule out the possibility of hallucinations since grok could be hallucinating values into a pre-defined schema.)

what search engine do you prefer?

This isn’t very surprising to me and I’m not too mad about it tbh. My impression is that Rossman is passionate about open-source and right-to-repair, and after connecting with Eron, he was offered his dream job that would allow him to get paid to work on his passion in Austin with Eron. Eron is very wealthy which provides the funding but also comes with sketchy friends. Eron exploits Rossman’s authenticity and puts him in a tough spot.

cool, what tax software? (open source?)

On an individual level: respond to bots/trolls with the goal of providing accurate information and a perspective grounded for the benefit of uninformed lurkers who are reading but not commenting.

Don’t get baited into arguments, just do your best to provide clarity so that bots have a harder time spreading misinformation.
