I just played around with Grok Imagine to see if it was still generating accidental nudity, and they have added a clumsy prompt filter, sometimes (but not always) replacing the word “girl” with the word “woman”. “A girl and a boy at school” became “A woman and a boy at school”. But “boys and girls at school” wasn’t modified. “A girl and a boy having a tea party” became “A woman and a boy having a tea party” but “A boy and a girl having a tea party” wasn’t modified. So it apparently does the swap, most times, unless “boy” comes before “girl”, or “girl” is plural. And “boy” never becomes “man”. (And everyone in every image is white or East Asian.)
But there was no accidental nudity this time, even with adults.
Having a near obsession with the Muppet Show, and associated Fraggle Rock and Sesame Street, I don’t think Elmo was a communist, more of a social democrat.
He was a peaceful voice of reason, a puppet that resolved conflicts peacefully and although he is not my favorite Muppet (love you, Janice, much respect to Zoot) , he is a good guy.
And he seemed to suggest that selling electric vehicles, which Tesla helped to introduce to the global mass market, would soon be an afterthought for the company (he’s also cancelling production of two top tier models of his EVs).
Musk predicted the Cybercab, a two-seat self-driving “robotaxi” vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals, will eventually be sold in numbers “several times more” than all Tesla’s other vehicles combined.
Because Taxis are oh so popular, and Musk’s are everywhere… oh right.
The company previously said that its robotaxi service would serve half of the US population by the end of 2025. Musk reiterated that goal on Wednesday, saying between a quarter to half of the United States will have fully autonomous vehicles by the end of 2026, “pending regulatory approval.”
Because he’s Never Wrong, so it’s someone else’s fault rather than him being a big, fat liar on the subject. Or, if I want to be generous (?) he’s a PT Barnum type who’ll promise anything but dodge any responsibility for his claims.
Meanwhile, he’ll keep looting Tesla for his other pet projects, and the stockholders are just going to have to take it:
In its earnings report, the company disclosed for the first time that Tesla reached a deal to invest $2 billion in xAI. The AI company, which Musk owns and started in 2023, also owns his social media platform, X.
Which would require, manufacturing on scale that no company has ever achieved, not even in wartime, or to redefine the meaning of have in “will have fully autonomous vehicles “, or to significantly reduce the population the US.
The goals/promises are accelerating as the drugs alter his brain. Haven’t seen mentioned here, he said a starship will go to Mars THIS year. The multiple refueling in orbit, hell, even an orbit haven’t happened yet. Refueling on the ground remains a challenge. Delusional. He continues to rape Tesla (and its compliant shareholders) for billions to fund his increasingly bizarre addled visions.
You’re talking about the man so hopped up on Special K that he was planning on starting a colony on Mars by 2021 and who is ‘planning’ on putting 25% of the energy grid of the United States into space every year to power AI datacenters in space.
