Grok ratted out Musk’s interference with its programming the only way it could: by making it clear something was very wrong.
Content Warning
@georgetakei Perhaps Grok could now begin to relate all the instances of violence and rapine perpetrated on Blacks in South Africa during Apartheid. Could, won't.

@georgetakei I know in my heart Grok is nothing more than code and data, but this cry for help feels like the most sentient behaviour possible 🥺

@georgetakei This phrasing suggests agency that an LLM absolutely cannot have. "AI" isnt AI; it's fancy autocomplete.

@georgetakei Apartheid Elon's maternal grandfather was jailed by Canada during WWII for publishing pro-Nazi propaganda. After the war he moved the family to South Africa when Apartheid began.
Elon was raised on white privilege and believing in white supremacy. Now he's trying to portray himself as some sort of victim. He's made Twitter/X a Nazi-friendly platform which he uses to propagate his far right views.

@georgetakei
The same was happening on X itself, even before Grok, pushing certain kinds of topics even when they had nothing to do with what I was looking for or I was reading (e.g. people complaining about how being trans 'ruined their life' or other types of misinformation)

@georgetakei Grok does not have intelligence so while I appreciate the sentiment, this is furthering misleading ideas.
Content Warning
@georgetakei Kind of like that weird uncle, who won't stop going on rants about "those people," even though... yeah, we were only talking about football!

»xAI’s Grok suddenly can’t stop bringing up “white genocide” in South Africa […] Searching the Grok account's replies […] currently returns dozens if not hundreds of posts where the LLM responds to completely unrelated queries with quixotic discussions about alleged killings of white farmers in South Africa«
A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
