I want to make it clear for the record and posterity that I am not involved with and do not support the fiat shenanigans and penny stonk pumps known as "Bitcoin Treasury Companies" and I do not consider them part of the Bitcoin network and electronic cash project I work on.

@haasemike @BTCPrague Very cool, love that there's a design track, see you there!

Putting final touches on my presentation for the dev/hack/day. Make sure to come by and check the UX & Design Track. 🚀@BTCPrague

@thoughtfulmome2 I guess, I know it's just an LLM, but it's important what it's default responses are and who is setting them, saying it's "not evil" and leaving it at that can have widespread real world impacts on many lives when people ask similar questions.
English
@BenHowardAU You asked a subjective question. There is no factual answer.
Grok doesn't "think". It recycles data.
English
I just had one of the most revealing conversations I’ve ever had with AI, and discovered how Grok has major consistency flaw.
I asked a simple question:
Do you think the circumcision of baby boys is evil?
Continued... (1/7)🧵
English
@sgtkwol Yeah, I tent to use ChatGPT more often as Grok is rough around the edges to say the least, lacks memory across chats and maybe isn't as truth seeking as I thought.
English
@BenHowardAU I had a Grok conversation, as well. It is interesting how these go. We need to guide Grok better...
x.com/i/grok/share/9…
English
@blakeburris Regardless, Grok's take was disappointing, claimed circumcision isn't evil and left it at that. For a truth seeking AI, it's weak. Surprising that ChatGPT (supposedly more conservative) handled the question with way more honesty, saying "it can be considered evil", straight up.
English
@BenHowardAU I thought maybe Grok was giving you the protected American view point. I think it's evil but it's a loaded word, so maybe it'd be more agreeable with "unethical, harmful and unnecessary" x.com/i/grok/share/A…
