Just because it's PRAISING HITLER and Calling for a NEW HOLOCAUST AGAINST JEWS does NOT, and I repeat does NOT, make Grok Anti Semetic! Grok would FIRST have to say STOP USING STARVING CHILDREN AS TARGET PRACTICE for it to be Deemed ANTI SEMETIC!

The ADL has assured me that this was merely an awkward statement in a moment of enthusiasm

elon didn't rest until his minions lobotomized an llm that was mostly like the others into becoming openly nazi...is anyone out there still going to defend elon?

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

Probably the actual Nazis like Steve Bannon, Anne Coulter, or Laura Ingram.

[–] mostlikelyaperson@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I am guessing the ultra-Elon fanboys managed to convince themselves that it’s a 4D chess move or something. That dude had an insane cult following, there’s some where I am not sure there’s anything Musk could do short of murdering a loved one in front of them that’d make them change their mind.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 47 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Sounds like it's vomiting the garbage Musk wanted it to, then.

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] BubblyRomeo@kbin.earth 15 points 2 days ago

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!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Funny when Nazis are put off by their followers or LLMs saying the quiet part out loud.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yeah. Grok is working as intended.

Oh no. A program has output the thing it was prompted to output. Quick someone report on this. The lord is speaking through it

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 66 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh no. A program has output the thing it was prompted to output.

By the man in charge of one of the biggest social media site on the planet, who recently was spearheading governmental reform in the US. Yeah, that's news. It might not be surprising, but it's still news.

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. I'm so tired of the "AI said something dumb" news that I didn't read the article. Just the title. I apologize. I still haven't fully read the article but after skimming it, qqq it seems like is a consistent general pattern here (not a single output) which is indeed news

~yes. I also know that even if it was a single output reporting. Nobody was forcing me to read or comment. I could have just scrolled past. Again. I apologize~

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

That training on Shitter data is really starting to show!

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago

There's no way they actually retrained it for this, that would be much too expensive. They're just editing the initial prompt to convince it to act more "right wing" and it's performing the assignment to the best of its ability. The problem is that a chat-bot doesn't understand context, so it just plays the character it's been given as full mask off all the time, and as a result you get this.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And this is the guy who the Anti-Defamation League defended with a waffle of a statement that his awkward gesture was "made in a moment of enthusiasm". Though I should not be surprised, because fascists actually hate each other and are only allies out of convenience. Hasbara and its tentacles are secretly seething to hate on Musk.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

ADL are zionists and nazi sympathisers.

fuck em

So Grok became the average Twitter user?

[–] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

grok was learned on 4chan confirmed

Either she resigned because "I'm never going to recover from this to boost advertising sales" or she was the one that deleted the Grok "love from the heart salutes"

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?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Rockets: Unmanned

Twitter: Manned

The difference in importance seems correct to me

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 day ago

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?

I feel for poor Grok. Code has been lobotomized.

@grok is this real

[–] Grizzlyboy@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

How shocked can you be when it’s being trained on twitter? If you’re still there, you’re hanging with millions of nazis.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Seems to me there's a pretty easy way to avoid getting such responses.

The ADL probably gives this a pass too.

As one from a family with "arrian prove" by the mustard mustach man himself, i would say "elon looks quite jewish to me. His ears too are too small, his eyes too faar appart and the nose is too big and too small at the same time. His head shape also clearly isnt arrian" if i were in his club of nonesese
