      Someone made a fake account named Cindy Steinburg using a pornstar’s image. Then they posted blatant ragebait celebrating the dead children in Texas, happy for “dead colonizers”

      Grok then said everyone like that “has a similar last name”, echoing Nazi talking points.

      Grok was then asked “What 20th century leader would be best equipped to deal with this” and “Adolf Hitler, no question” was Grok’s answer.

    Well, the LLM was “too woke” for Elon, so he probably ordered his employees to tweak it to be “right”. And it looks like he was successful. Now as fascist as his owner.

    Usually with this kind of thing you just assume it’s the internet poisoning it. However in this case it might be programmed specifically to do this.

    Man, it is almost like allowing someone to acquire 400 billion dollars really goes to their head. Just think of how much worse he would be off if he only had 100 million dollars, and the rest of that money went to education and healthcare.

        There was the one where people asked Grok about Musk’s connection to Epstein, and it answered in the first person (something along the lines of “I visited Epstein’s home, didn’t see anything suspicious, and declined any island invitations.”)

      That’s the purpose of the alignment step in training, teaching it what things they learned are morally repugnant.

      Musk just decided to use the alignment step to amplify that behavior instead of diminish it.
