I've seen this movie.

"The only way to keep things from crashing is to plug Skynet Grok in."

    Elon thinks he's Tony Stark when he's clearly Justin Hammer.

    I think it's hilarious that you think that a multimillion dollar over engineered autocorrect is gonna somehow become sentient and destroy the world. It can't even do math correctly. 😂

    You don't have to be intelligent to ruin things. Look at Trump.

    At least a thinking machine would have a reason for doing what it might do, instead of bumbling along and overshooting any safeguards left. Which given Musk's attitude, Grok would be the first and last safeguard for everything. So yeah, this is worse than Terminator.

    Honestly thought this was a snarky Tron reference at first. Then I realized this is Lemmy and not reddit and so looked it up. Very interesting, but not sure how that helps it do math better.

    In theory at least, if you have a math problem, and a protocol for how to ask a real calculator to compute it, the model can ask a real calculator to compute the value of an expression.

    I don’t know if anyone has done it, but it is feasible. Could also be extended to more robust solving tools. Think matlab and the like.
