Summary
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, temporarily blocked results linking Musk and Trump to “misinformation.”
xAI’s engineering head attributed this to an unauthorized system prompt update by a former OpenAI employee.
Despite Musk’s “maximally truth-seeking” claims, interventions occurred when Grok labeled Musk, Trump, and others as harming America or suggested they face the death penalty.
I wish we could come up with a way to apply some kind of idiotic things catch phrase which would shut them up. Something like “woke censorship”.
Does “authoritarian censorship” not work?
So a former OpenAI employee decided, out of the kindness of their heart, decided to engage in unauthorized system access, to do Musk and Trump a favor by preventing access to information that makes them look bad? Riiiiiiight.

AI “learns” what a good answer is based on feedback from users.
So Grok is “learning” from twitter user feedback, now just think about what the average twitter user is like and what kinds and of answers they will say are good.
It’s not “learning” to interpret and provide information, it’s “learning” how to reinforce echo chambers.
LLMs in general don’t “interpret” anything; I don’t get how or why people think this.
You’re asking the masses to understand a complicated thing then getting disappointed that they don’t. The masses don’t understand the absolute basics of the world they live in…
The funny thing is, that probably makes them an even better imitator of the average twitter user(and person, if we’re honest).
Elon made Grok. How is this any shock ?
To be fair: He didn’t make shit. Elon has never made anything. He has only ever taken credit either by force or by wealth.
