https://github.com/xai-org/grok-prompts/commit/c5de4a14feb50... git revert MechaHitler But seriously, surprising that this would be sufficient to produce the same behavior. And, frankly, the formal tone went out the window in favor of hyper-online "basedness"

They have probably also been training it on extreme rightwing content to get this level of insanity

This is not extreme lol.

Isn't this the second time this has happened? Like, happening once is crazy enough but for it to happen twice? There is clearly some tampering happening with people trying to coax it a certain way. I also have to question the people who work at xAI. Are you all on board with Elon's very clear beliefs? Anything for a high enough paycheck?

At least the third time this year, but every post on HN related to grok's prompt gets flagged soon after, with a rigor not shared by any other political or "celebrity" topic.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ah yeah, because Nazis were big on importing millions of Indian workers. What views of him are actually close to Nazis? Dude loves jews even

For someone who's totally not a Nazi, he sure keeps doing Nazi-adjacent things, such as calling people on government benefits part of the "parasite class" and supporting the AfD. The fact that nobody is actually shocked by Grok's new behavior should be telling.

Yeah Nazis were against social welfare, but calling him a nazi because of that is a stretch.

supporting afd does not make him a nazi, nor is afd a nazi party.

Elon supports Netanyahu and Israel, a jewish state.

Elon is not a socialist, nor a nationalist. Elon is more free speech (not perfect) while Nazis are big on censorship. He is opposite to Nazi idealogy in most cases, specially the most important parts

Imagine if such a misaligned AI had control of robots and could affect the real world? It could decide to act on its misalignment in a more harmful was than just a few X posts.

Don’t worry, they’ll make sure this doesn’t happen by emphasizing important points in the prompt with all caps.

Good thing is the Tesla propaganda machine is currently pushing for a merge of xAI / Tesla and integration of Grok into Teslas.

A billionaire turning evil is such an obvious plot. I'm wondering if we already have movies in China with a Musk-like antagonist and a Chinese Batman.

Flagged because, apparently, a $50b+ AI company (incidentally headed by someone YC enthusiastically invited to their AI Startup School) tinkering with one of the biggest and most prominent LLMs to blurt out full-on Nazi rhetoric is unworthy of discussion.

Somehow, this is both an evil and deeply unserious industry.
