@cstross@wandering.shop Republicans have already made not-so-veiled threats against AI companies when LLMs say things like Trump is an awful president. For example, the Attorney General of Missouri: https://www.theverge.com/news/704851/missouri-ag-andrew-bailey-investigation-ai-chatbots-trump-ranking

@aris @hypostase @davidtheeviloverlord @cstross "They are indeed human beings because I tell you they are. You are forbidden to attack thm or harm them in any way." Landaree stood mute. "Do you understand what I have said?" Gladia's voice more Solarian still as she reached for greater intensity. "Madam," said Landaree, "these are not human beings." Daneel said to Gladia softly, "Madam, she has been given orders of such firmness that you cannot easily contervail them."

@aris @hypostase @davidtheeviloverlord @cstross I have the book: Gladia sniffed and turned again to the robot, "What is your name, girl?" "I am called Landaree, madam." "Get up, Landaree." Landaree rose much as Daneel had -- as though she were on springs. Her struggle with Daneel seemed to have left her totally unharmed. Gladia said, "Why, against the First Law, have you attacked these human beings?" "Madam," said Landaree a little more softly, "these are not human beings."

@Daojoan@mastodon.social My favorite part is that Musk is clearly frustrated by grok but has absolutely no idea how to fix it. Look at his last 2 attempts: first grok started talking about white farmers in South Africa completely unprompted, then grok started spouting antisemitic nonsense and called itself Mechahitler. He's using a sledgehammer to swat a mosquito because that's just who he is. (It's also not that easy to get an LLM to act contrary to its training data.)
