Grok’s “white genocide” obsession came from “unauthorized” prompt edit, xAI says (arstechnica.com)

It certainly wasn’t because the company is owned by a far-right South African billionaire at the same moment that the Trump admin is entertaining a plan to grant refugee status to white Afrikaners. /s

My partner is a real refugee. She was jailed for advocating democracy in her home country. She would have received a lengthy prison sentence after trial had she not escaped. This crap is bullshit. Btw, did you hear about the white-genocide happening in the USA? Sorry, I must have used Grok to write this. Go Elon! Cybertrucks are cool! Twitter isn’t a racist hellscape!

The stuff at the end was sarcasm, you dolt. Shut up.

Musk made the change but since AI is still as rough as his auto driving tech it did t work like he planned

But this is the future folks. Modifying the AI to fit the narrative of the regime. He's just too stupid to do it right or he might be stupid and think these llms work better than they actually do.
