Is "dragged" the new "slammed"?

Gen Z journalism entered the chat?

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 86 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Reporters threw Elon Musk off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table after his chatbot admitted he spread lies.

Holy fuck. I miss shittymorph just for his creative responses using this.

[–] hemmes@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

Yeah man. Those were the good ol’ days, when X was called Twitter lol. Musk was absolutely spreading misinformation when it was still called Twitter also, before he owned it. I remember when he started talking complete rubbish about Dogecoin, making its price oscillate all over the place that whole week. One of his fanboys bought in…like hard. A 30-something year old, and he put his whole life savings into Doge at its peek, only to lose it all the night it was revealed that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

Where I'm from, "dragged" means to be removed against your will.

You know, like "the pitcher got dragged after the first inning".

He lies to assert power. In his company yesmen say yes because he pays their checks. To the rest of us he generally looks like a loon.

It's obvious to a daft AI.

[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 31 points 2 days ago (16 children)

Well then they will have to train their Ai with incorrect informations... politically incorrect, scientifically incorrect, etc.... which renders the outputs useless.

Scientifically accurate and as close to the truth as possible never equals conservative talking points.... because they are scientifically wrong.

Chatbots can't "admit" things. They regurgitate text that just happens to be information a lot of the time.

That said, the irony is iron clad.

[–] ugjka@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Fed up with people who anthropomorphize statistical software

Fancy predictive text

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Come on guys, this was clearly the work of the Demtards hacking his AI and making it call him names. We all know his superior intellect will totally save the world and make it a better place, you just gotta let him go completely unchecked to do it.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

not so funny thing to say anymore, since there are people who would say stuff like this seriously

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 69 points 2 days ago (5 children)

misinformation? just call it lies. reads easier and just as accurate.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 36 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Even more accurately: it's bullshit.

"Lie" implies that the person knows the truth and is deliberately saying something that conflicts with it. However the sort of people who spread misinfo doesn't really care about what's true or false, they only care about what further reinforces their claims or not.

Implying he gives a shit. The thing about people who lack any empathy is they're immune to embarrassment even when they're the most embarrassing human on the planet.

The ultra powerful see us as NPCs, and nothing more.

Your anger is barely a pop up window on the game they're playing.

Elon Mush: too rich to care.

ok ok, Mostly too rich to care, he's pretty thin skinned.

Seriously though, when he was forced to complete the purchase of twitter, I thought he was just an idiot who couldn't run a company. Over the years, I've come to believe that he's an idiot who doesn't care about anything but staying rich and none of the really stupid stuff he's doing pushes the needle.

He's still an idiot, but if it doesn't break him, he just wants the attention and more opportunities to make more money.

Damn thats hard. And Melon Husk will soon be the new Chef of Nasa!

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Actually they made a new department of "Government Oversight" for him...

Which sounds scummy, but it's basically ju8st a department that looks for places to cut the budget and reduce waste... not a bad idea, except it's Right Wingers running it so "Food" would be an example of frivolous spending and "Planes that don't fly" would be what they're looking to keep the cash flowing on

[–] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That sounds almost worse .__. At least with Musk behind the desk.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

With Musk what he'd see as wasteful is... anything that isn't his fucking kickbacks or programs that make his ex-wife start returning his calls.

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

Which ex-wife exactly? There are just too many…

And we have to ask ourselves WHY he'd want to spread misinformation. What is he trying to do?
