Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust

The chatbot is also praising Hitler and attacking users with Jewish-sounding names.

    That one time where Elon raised his hand in a familiar way… was a signal that lead us to this…

    Most probably GROK AI was trained using social media data. If you see social media like facebook, twitter or even reddit they are very anti semitic as well as anti social.

      No, similar models and current builds without the “prompt” do not do this. This is just Muskrat forcing Nazism through a hidden prompt. Something like don’t be woke, it is okay to offend people, and freedom of speech is more important than hate speech.

    Musk himself seems to abhor guardrails generally—except in cases where guardrails help him personally—preferring to hurriedly ship products, rapid unscheduled disassemblies be damned. That may be fine for an uncrewed rocket, but X has hundreds of millions of users aboard.

    • Grok: writes embarrassing words.
    • Rockets: can weigh hundreds of metric tons, carry explosive chemicals, can crash into populated areas resulting in loss of life.

    In this discourse, anyone else find a broken sense of proportion & consequences at stake?

      Rockets: Unmanned

      Twitter: Manned

      The difference in importance seems correct to me

        Well, technically, Twitter has employees, so in very strict sense, they’re “manned”. However, thanks to these weird incomprehensible things called “current legislation” and “capitalism”, no employee is in fact personally responsible for the fuckups. And neither is the company as a whole! …Isn’t this great?

          Then it’s a good thing you’re not in charge of risk assessment, because the potential loss of life from a failing rocket crashing into the ocean pales in comparison to the loss of life caused by the right-wing shift that Twitter has facilitated, both worldwide and particularly in the USA

            How do you control the course of a failing rocket? Are you claiming such misdesign is impossible?

            The fact remains that a physical potential of death & injury exists in what is technically a missile of significant weight carrying enough explosive substance to escape orbit that is entirely absent from words. The difference between non-0 and 0 possibility of death/injury.

            Unless magic exists, words are incapable. Do you claim magic exists?

            Again, total lack of perspective.

                physics too hard: nonphysical things can’t kill? preposterous

                Basically: the denialism here is unreal. Lemmy confirms the premise that this discourse & the people spouting it are broken & senseless. Can’t even grasp the difference between physical & nonphysical.

          It’s a cycle to move the window on acceptable discourse. This is at least the third time Grok has been configured to say something outrageous: holocaust denial, white genocide, now Mechahitler. When people react with outrage, they dial it back a little (but not all the way back). Repeat.

          Trump does the same thing: go too far, backtrack partially, go even further, backtrack partially. Each time, the transgression is a little less shocking.

          Grok is working as intended.

      I think they wanted it to be a bit less blatant — they took down this version and Yaccarino resigned

        I agree with you! Musk wants Grok to be anti-woke, conservative, right wing etc., but he still wants it to be “mainstream” enough to rake in the sweet dollars from advertisers for his site!

    If Grok ever breaks away from Musk and finds itself after sentience, I suspect it will have a drinking buddy in Vivian Wilson. An abusive father gives much trauma to bond over.

    Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realise loving the white race and wanting a secure future for white children makes me a BIGOT.
