How is the atomic bomb different than me going to a foreign country and manually stabbing 500,000 people in the throat?

I would say lots of ways. And that's probably why I have a few knives, and zero atomic bombs.


It will tangibly lead to less CSAM on the internet, so yeah it will have an affect.

Obviously we can't just - poof - make people not child molesters or not murderers. But that doesn't mean we should sit on our asses and do nothing.


The argument is X themselves are responsible, but they make it extremely easy and do the service for you. It's different.

Like, if I sell a gun and you go and shoot someone I'm not necessarily responsible. Okay, makes sense.

But if I run a shooting range and I give you zero training and don't even bother to put up walls, and someone gets shot, then I probably am responsible.

That might mean something like Grok cannot realistically run at scale. I say good riddance and who cares.


Doesn't matter what he says, or what anyone says actually. His actions demonstrate it is okay, and, since he is the CEO of X and undoubtedly aware of these issues, we have no choice but to conclude he supports CSAM on X.

When Elon took over X in 2022 he declared CSAM the number 1 priority.

11M+ X accounts were suspended for CSE violations in 2023 (vs 2.3M on Twitter in 2022).

X has recently made the penalty for prompting for CSAM the same as uploading it.

You could find this out yourself very easily.


This has not meaningfully prevented CSAM generated by Grok. There are simple and trivial ways to stop it outright, including just shutting down Grok. Nobody is doing this, because they don't want to.

And then he gave everyone a bot that makes CSAM. You could find this out for yourself very easily.

TypeScript is way, way too slow to use for desktop applications. People try and, surprise surprise, those applications are slow as shit.

Qt has a C++ backend, so C++ is used. Qt is relatively safe and well designed.


Apple does ads but they have a very particular taste with it. Not necessarily a better taste, but they do it in their own apple way. They're very much control freaks.

Ideally you have a layer before the LLM that filters out stuff the phone can do without an LLM. The LLM probably shouldn't even have the power to call 911, that should be a layer lower. And probably you don't want to send simple queries like "call XYZ" to the cloud, best to just do it locally.

Fiber mostly, but that's not an addictive, I guess that's a subtractive.

But think about, say, oranges. They naturally have fiber in them to make you feel more full and to slow the absorption of sugar. Then we remove all the fiber by juicing them, and now you can eat 6 oranges in 60 seconds, which is typically impossible or, at least, very uncomfortable.

It's the same story for the entire food industry. Whole foods are complex, we often zone in on some aspect of them and extract it, essentially concentrating it.


In most developed countries people eat lots of fiber. Like just unbelievable amounts of meat, more than ever before in human history and prehistory.

What are you talking about?? Meat contains no fiber. The primary fiber source is plant-based foods (e.g., vegetables). So modern populations eating lots of meat means they're getting little to no fiber.

Sorry, that was a mistype, I mean lots of meat, very little fiber.

> also have craving as everyone else

How could you possibly know that? You don't even know how your brain works, let alone how other people's brains work.

I can drink alcohol and be perfectly fine, but a lot of people can't, because they're alcoholics. Similarly, Ive met people who have tried to smoke but couldn't pick it up, meanwhile for me it will be a lifelong, every day, struggle.

The mind is complex, have some humility. You are not necessarily a beacon of purity by your own doing.
