The ADL probably gives this a pass too.
Is it really antisemitic if a billionaire does it? /s
So Grok became the average Twitter user?
grok was learned on 4chan confirmed
Oh, we can all be enraged over it this week and we can all celebrate the fallout of it next week lmao
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?
Rockets: Unmanned
Twitter: Manned
The difference in importance seems correct to me
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?
reading comprehension: none
Don't know, man: kinda think the potential loss of life from a failing rocket crashing into people matters somewhat more than words. Maybe?
Then it's a good thing you're not in charge of risk assessment, because the potential loss of life from a failing rocket crashing into the ocean pales in comparison to the loss of life caused by the right-wing shift that Twitter has facilitated, both worldwide and particularly in the USA
Sounds like it's vomiting the garbage Musk wanted it to, then.
Yeah. Grok is working as intended.
Yet it got pulled. Clearly they were too dense to know what working as intended actually looked like.
It’s a cycle to move the window on acceptable discourse. This is at least the third time Grok has been configured to say something outrageous: holocaust denial, white genocide, now Mechahitler. When people react with outrage, they dial it back a little (but not all the way back). Repeat.
Trump does the same thing: go too far, backtrack partially, go even further, backtrack partially. Each time, the transgression is a little less shocking.
Grok is working as intended.
You are saying it's Grok TACO Wednesday, again?
I think they wanted it to be a bit less blatant — they took down this version and Yaccarino resigned
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!
Funny when Nazis are put off by their followers or LLMs saying the quiet part out loud.
X CEO has just resigned.
The EX, X CEO...
this gag got old quick
She’s ex X CEO.
The ex X CEO exited? Excellent!!
I thought Musk was the CEO and got excited.

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"
