ChatGPT looks like the last website on Earth that's growing. What does that mean for the rest of the web? Plus, Grok starts spewing unprompted propaganda and reveals its system prompt, and Meta's Lama project is in some serious trouble. That's coming up on a Big Technology Podcast Friday edition right after this. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition where we break down the news in our traditional cool-headed and nuanced format.
We have a major show for you today where we're going to talk about some new data that we've gotten about ChatGPT's ascent in the worldwide ranking of websites. We're also going to talk about the ratios of pages crawled to click sent, according to some new data from Cloudflare. Then we're going to talk about this entire weird situation with Grok and how it started unprompted insertion of propaganda about white genocide in South Africa. And we're not going to really talk about it from a political lens.
It just shows a lot about what's going on with these models. And then finally, we're going to talk about Meta's Lama project, the fact that BMF, its latest, largest model, is going to be delayed. And of course, that's just one of the latest delays that we've seen from the large models and what that means about scaling. Joining us as always on Fridays is Ron John Roy of Margins. Ronjon, great to see you.
