Submitted by jddj
jddj writes: A Toronto Mom says the recently "upgrade" of a Grok AI chatbot that Tesla installed in her vehicle steered a chat about soccer stars Ronaldo and Messi to a request for the child to send nude photos.

When CBC asked Tesla about the incident, they got no response, however xAI sent what appeared to be an automated response of "Legacy Media Lies".

Submission + - 'Circular' mega-deals by Bay Area tech giants are raising eyebrows (sfgate.com)

Submitted by mspohr
mspohr writes: The deals are so vast that they defy comprehension — the Financial Times put the company’s recent commitments at north of $1 trillion – and they’re making public companies’ stock prices jump. Stock analysts dub some of these agreements “circular,” because investment money is flowing between companies that also buy from or sell to one another. The worry then is that such deals might prop up or overhype a bad business.

Here’s one indicatively tangled pathway through the morass of companies. Nvidia is investing billions in and selling chips to OpenAI, which is also buying chips from and earning stock in AMD. AMD sells processors to Oracle, which is building data centers with OpenAI — which also gets data center work from CoreWeave. And that company is partially owned by, yes, Nvidia. Taken together, it’s a doozy. There are other collaborations and rivalries and many other factors at play, but OpenAI is the many-tentacled octopus in the middle, spinning its achievement of ChatGPT into a blitz of speculative investments.

It is guaranteed Musk was involved in negotiating the agreement. Nothing gets done at the company without his approval.

The 42 cents should be enough to tell that he was involved because of his edgelord fascination with 420, but in that same vein, I'm more surprised it wasn't 69 cents.

President Donald Trump on Friday reiterated his claim that critical television coverage of him is “illegal” and pushed back on criticisms that his administration was taking actions that chill free speech.
“When 97 percent of the stories are bad about a person, it’s no longer free speech,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, complaining about an apparent asymmetry between his victory in the 2024 election and his treatment by media organizations. It was not immediately clear what statistics or laws he was referencing.

They want to trans your kids.

I know that what I'm about to say is a bit overused by a lot of people, but this is, quite possibly, the dumbest thing that I've ever read. Both in concept/idea and in execution. Everything you said is obviously stupid, but this... this is just so idiotic that I'm struggling to move past it.
