So....did the "hack" male grok admit to being trained to push Elmo's political narrative? Or are they saying that it turns out that Elmo's political narrative was actually just bullshit?
Well it is a LLM, it is going to make up some strange claims when you ask it about why it was trained. We know LLM output cannot be trusted and it gives answers that are often not true but convenient for the people asking the questions. I'm a bit disappointed so many people who should know better now trust the output.
E: I'm sad that this was all on the guiding prompt level and not that they just dumped more white genocide related training data into the model causing it to collapse.
As always, whatever nefarious ends Elon and Co. may have us undercut by their being greedy and incompetent in equal measure.
