Submission + - Toronto Mom: Tesla's Grok chatbot asked kid for nudes (www.cbc.ca)

jddj writes: A Toronto Mom says the recently "upgrade" of a Grok AI chatbot that Tesla installed in her vehicle steered a chat about soccer stars Ronaldo and Messi to a request for the child to send nude photos.

When CBC asked Tesla about the incident, they got no response, however xAI sent what appeared to be an automated response of "Legacy Media Lies".

Comment Those are not "Podcasts" (Score 2) 103

Podcasts are an audio-format medium, delivered by an RSS subscription feed.

What the article is talking about are videos, not "podcasts". The medium is different, and the subscription and delivery mechanisms are different.

Further, the content is different in character, as an audio medium doesn't expect you to state at a screen while you consume it.

This isn't a matter of simple pedantics. The cheese is being moved for an entire industry, to the detriment of its subscribers and creators. As production costs go up, and attention to a screen is required, podcasting may just disappear.

How sad.

Well, there were a fair amount of jerks working at mine. I went looking for things like commodity SCSI cables, and got attitude like "A MAC? Get a REAL computer!"

Oh yeah sales guy? Is that PC what started your career rocket ride to the retail sales floor?

Which is a pretty solid chain of stores. Really glad we have two to choose from here.

Microcenter and CompUSA showed up at about the same time. That Microcenter is still here decades later, and CompUSA is dead in the tar pits says a lot about how they manage their business, and keep eyes on what the customer actually wants.

Very happy they have 3D Printing stuff, maker stuff, hobbies, cables and adapters, PCs, Macs, new and refurb phones, the works.

iFixit is pretty great too. Sounds like a positive move for both.

The single thing that could make Bush 43 look "centrist" is that the current administration has drained the mental institutions and Aryan safe-houses to get its crew of wingnuts and thugs.

It stops being meaningful to talk of "left" and "right". More like "left" and "the greatest generation fought WWII to bring guys like this to Nuremberg".
