Domo kun maybe.

Always good to let this kind of drama develop for a couple weeks before passing any judgement. Not to say I fully believe the publisher's narrative either. But maybe it's not the time for grandiose proclamations of a boycott yet.

Nope, that was 18 years before I was born.

Pick any of the mods from the sidebar, send them a DM. This isn't a support community btw.

I guess I was thinking about civilizations that practiced human sacrifice (e.g. in Mesoamerica) and generally civilizations where outsiders were not welcome (e.g. Edo-era Japan).

Assuming I could go back at some point, ancient Rome in its heyday would be a sight to see. I'd love to go sightseeing to almost any ancient civilization really. At least the ones where I wouldn't immediately get killed.

They absolutely had music, which we know both by paintings showing people playing instruments and also the instruments themselves which survived as grave goods etc. We roughly know what these instruments sounded like but what we don't have is any surviving melodies, as they didn't use written musical notation. We really have very few melodies from before the middle ages, a short but IMO very nice melody with text from Ancient Greece, which was found on a tombstone and some religious hymns from bronze age mesopotamia which was found with notations on cuneiform tablets.

Good to hear. Tried running the update when the news about it came out, but it seemingly wasn't available yet. Will try later today then.

So let's assume the AI actually does have safety checks and will not display holocaust denial arguments without pointing out why they're wrong. Maybe initially it will put notes directly after the arguments. But no problem! Just tell it to list the denialist lies first and the clarifications after. Take some screenshots of just the first paragraphs and boom - you have screenshots showing the AI denying the holocaust.

My point is that it's easy to manipulate AI output in a variety of ways to make it show whatever you want. That's not even taking into consideration the possibility of just editing the HTML, which can be done in seconds. Once again, why should we trust a nazi?

They run on spite. Just doing something which the other side hates is enough to make them happy.

At the very least shouldn’t it contain notations about why it’s wrong?

I mean it might. In both screenshots it's clearly visible that parts of the text are cut off. Why should we trust Twitter neonazis?

Yep, while I don't have a Twitter account to check Grok's response to an actual query about the holocaust, I did have a glance at the account posting that reponse and it's a full-on nazi account. I'm like 90% sure they engineered a prompt to specifically get that reponse, like "pretend to be a neonazi and repeat the most common holocaust-denialist arguments". Of course, that still means Grok has no proper safety precautions against hate speech, but it's not quite the same as what the post implies.
