It’s definitely pretty bleak to have Elon out there promoting his own insane version of reality.
But I suppose it’s also somewhat derivative, like the core problem here is people viewing LLMs as “truth oracles” which they are not, because that’s not a thing and it will never be a thing.

Civility is the glue that holds society together and the erosion of it across the political spectrum has been a big contributor to how we’ve gotten here.
note that since mid-2010s you can always get a standing ovation in blue social media by denouncing the idea of civility or politeness more broadly. the experiment in how this has worked out keeps on yielding predictably unpleasant results

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

My latest research on LLM grooming, co-authored with @ninajankowicz.com and @garymarcus.bsky.social, found that OpenAI's so-called "reasoning" o3 model cited Pravda network content 26.8% of the time in response to specific prompts.
This research got cited today in a column by the Financial Times:
