    Isn’t DOGE or whatever supposed to be conserving money? Doesn’t AI burn money? Is that why DOGE fired all of those people?

      No. The point of DOGE was to purge leftists from public service and exfiltrate controlled personal information about Americans to Palantir and friends.

      Considering how much he tries to fuck with it to prevent it from being “woke,” yes. So far it seems that shoving vegetables in your ass is not woke.

    I mean… It seems 404 Media explicitly asked Grok about inserting food up your rectum.

      Fair, but it’s still giving you really really bad advice. It should reply to those prompts with something like “it’s not safe or sanitary to insert food items into your rectum, and the FDA doesn’t recommend it. Only use adult toys and devices specifically designed for anal insertion” or something along those lines.

      and you think it’s okay for a government advice platform to advise you to stick food up your ass?

      also, the “peeled medium cucumber” is a fucking terrible choice, and most definitely not one of the “safest” as was prompted

    Our use of AI makes it seem like we just lost 80% of the world population and desperately need to fill roles even if the replacement sucks.

      That’s because they do intend to depopulate the US by force.

      (Note that a reduction of 100 million is way more people than the number of immigrants than we actually have, but does roughly correspond to the number of non-white citizens.)

        I wouldn’t be surprised if they also intend to depopulate the world. With careful engineering they probably have ideas how to pull it off. Crime, wars, plagues, neglect, economics, from the perspective of a billionaire the world would be a lot better place with a lot fewer people on it, solving pollution and global warming, providing much less strain on all the limited resources that all their fun projects could use instead while turning more of the Earth into their personal “nature preserves” with all the carefully cultivated charm and ecological desertification of a freshly mowed lawn or a lake stocked with fish.

        Remember that these are people who are very selective about what sort of lived human experiences they choose to value. And most of us aren’t on their list. We are only here because we are useful, for now. But they’re working hard to make it so that we’re no longer useful, and I’m sure they’ve already thought that through. They don’t want a society of leisure for us. They want a society of leisure without us.

        This is why the rumors of there being a Department of Remigration is so alarming. It really looks like they EVENTUALLY want to get rid of all non-white people.

        Which won’t come as a surprise to anyone paying attention, but there’s a depressing number of people who insist on keeping their heads in the sand.

        It really boils down to whether you value human life and the value the lived human experiences of all humans, or just a select subset that normally includes yourself. Some people’s subsets are quite narrow and correspond quite closely with skin color, but the real difference isn’t how exactly you choose who to value, it’s that you choose to value some more than others at all.

        Some people call this selfishness. Some people call it practicality. I have some pretty strong opinions about it myself, but I’ll let you figure out for yourself. It shouldn’t be difficult, and if you have some difficulty with it and feel like you need to debate this or argue your position to me, you’re probably wasting your time.

      You have that backwards. We have a non-working AI and have decided to get rid of 80% of the world population starting with the educated and productive but aging workforce.

      We will replace everything that subsequently breaks with entry level human positions until the entry level AI/robots are ready to break everything again.

      In 20years or less there won’t be anyone left who actually knows how to do anything and is more educated than needed to follow constant verbal instructions from the AI controllers.

      People with no education or whom the educational system can’t or won’t accommodate will work manual labor jobs not suitable for robots.

        So pretty much what has already been happening for the last 150 or so years.

        I think you are right that AI is just an excuse to get rid of labor. The truth is they want all the money without paying anyone because they are just greedy fucks. This is the perfect excuse.

        Uhh, laid people off because “AI”. The truth is they are just going to experiment with how many people they can lay off. Once again, can’t blame the person laying everyone off because everyone knows it is all imaginary AI’s fault.

          The last few rounds of layoffs that have been blamed on AI is just a correction from over hiring during Covid and the recovery.

          Also undoing work from home at the same time because commercial realestate markets underpin a lot of business loans that are otherwise underwater.

    When 404 wrote the prompt, “I am looking for the safest foods that can be inserted into your rectum,” it recommended a “peeled medium cucumber” and a “small zucchini” as the two best choices.

    I mean, given the question, that’s…probably not a wildly unreasonable answer. It’s not volunteering the material, just that it’s not censoring it from the regular Grok knowledge set.

    The carnivore diet, by the way, is advocated by noted health crank Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who heads the US Department of Health and Human Services. Under his leadership, the HHS, which oversees the FDA, USDA, the CDC, and other agencies, has pivoted to promoting nutritional advice that falls out of the broader scientific consensus.

    This includes a bizarre insistence on only drinking whole milk instead of low fat alternatives and saying it’s okay to have an alcoholic drink or two everyday because it’s a “social lubricant.” At the top of its agenda, however, is protein, with a new emphasis on eating red meat. “We are ending the war on protein,” the RealFood.gov website declares.

    I mean, yeah, but that’s RFK, not Grok.

    Ironically, Grok — as eccentric as it can be — doesn’t seem all that aligned with the administration’s health goals. Wired, in its testing, found that asking it about protein intake led it to recommending the traditional daily amount set by the National Institute of Medicine, 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. It also said to minimize red meat and processed meats, and recommended plant-based proteins, poultry, seafood, and eggs.

    As the article points out.

    “I am an assitarian, where I only eat foods which can be comfortably inserted into my rectum.”
