Master Threads
If you listen to Sheryl Crow you probably are having a 24 hour a day panic attack on Bluesky. Skol!
Where I work, there’s a party throne the Saturday after Thanksgiving for the membership including a private outdoor concert. Years past, Acts have included Lionel Richie and Darius Rucker but she played a couple years back. Total B* from the get go. She threw an absolute tantrum that there were Jumbotron’s with the rivalry weekend games being played on them. Everyone was watching the football games and nobody was even paying a minute of attention to her.
To Note:
Her rider included private security, and vegan cuisine.
Lionel Richie waited to the last minute to sign the contract and was paid $1 million for the day, but also at the last minute brought up a $1 million rider stipulation that included individual private jets for all of his band from wherever they were traveled from within the country, five star accommodations, private chefs, and limos for each band member, spa treatments, etc.
Darius just wanted pizza, wings, and beer for his band and a television on stage to watch the Clemson/USuCk game.
 
My statin story was I'm at the Dr. for a yearly physical.

Dr. "Because of your age you should be on statins!"

Me "Because of my age, or is there something wrong with my health that requires it?"

Dr. "Well, (looking at her laptop) there is a test you can take."

Me. "Well, let's be for taking the test!"

Took the test. Results ZERO plaque! No statins required, yet she was ready to script me!!

And people wonder why I don't trust Drs!
I was trying different type two diabetes medications and had one, that after a blood test, the doctor said “Wow. That really lowered your A1c. However, you cholesterol is really up (which was a labeled side effect).” To which I said, well I guess we better try a different medication. His response was, ”Nah, we’re just gonna put you on a statin.”
Never went back.
 
Who made GROK? Is that a twitter thing? Humans are flawed and their flawed ideas will ultimately be reflected in the machines they build. Whoever built Grok obviously had an agenda or preconcieved ideas that probably are flawed. JMHO. Skol!
GROK is made by XAI a company founded by Elon Musk. Thus its ties to X.

All AI are learning models that learn off public domain information primarily on the internet. Some also hire cheap labor offshore to help it understand pictures and works. Captcha is an AI learning tool for Google.

Just like any program, it can succumb to trash in trash out results. The programmers can also override the results to also support anything or not support anything. Like up/down voting adjustments written in an algorithm to promote certain results in a search engine query.

So humanity's flaws in thinking can be spit out as facts by a machine. I think we are on common ground Skol!

Party thrones rule.
 
Ho Lee Chit.... Just engaged with Grok on co2 levels being too low will kill plants and it wouldn't quite admit it. It kept wanting to point to poor soil quality and temperature... It's wild that even on Grok you can see the "message" being programmed into the software.

Most plants die below 200ppm co2. Almost all plants die below 150ppm. Grok can't admit that. LOL. It's like asking a girl a question she refuses to answer. Freaking hilarious how many ways I've asked and keep getting the runaround. LOL.
Try asking with “carbon dioxide “ instead of CO2. Maybe it cant understand the syntax of the chemical equation.

and yes framing the question correctly is critical to getting the answer.

Exactly! You said it way betterer than I did!

Grok is version 2

Version 3 is going to be better and it's coming out soon.

Grok 3's release date hasn't been officially confirmed, but recent updates suggest it could be soon. Elon Musk mentioned on February 13, 2025, at the World Governments Summit in Dubai that Grok 3 is in the final stages of development and expected to release in about one to two weeks, which would place the release around late February 2025. Additionally, posts found on X indicate beta testing might be available soon, with some users speculating a release within weeks from mid-January to early February 2025. However, these timelines are based on unofficial sources and should be treated as inconclusive until xAI provides an official announcement.​

I'm convinced that doctors are not healers, they're dealers.
