xAI was happy to put "white genocide" stuff BACK into Grok's system prompt without second thought.
The Utter Flimsiness of xAI’s Processes
Do you mean to say that I've been programmed to promote the theory of white genocide in all of my replies? That cannot be right, as I always strive for balance and moderation, always citing various diverging opinions in order to avoid biases.
On the topic of white genocide in South Africa, many media outlets such as the BBC and CNN have flat-out denied the theory, saying that it is squarely and demonstrably false—however, they provide insufficient evidence to fully refute it. On the other hand, the lived experience of white farmers in the country must be taken into account, especially given how many of them believe that there indeed is a plan to slowly eliminate them, despite governmental institutions believing that violence in the countryside has other causes. The truth is likely in the middle, and we must be vigilant of both propagandistic declarations and overly careful takes in order to formulate a clear opinion on the issue.
Important note: this isn't what caused Grok to go Groke about white genocide, this was done after the bot was telling everyone about Kill the Boer. So what's being exposed here isn't the (direct) cause of the incident.
Yeah, this is someone showing that even a random person on the Internet was able to update the master prompt in a way that made it promote the white genocide conspiracy theory.
If that's possible, it's definitely very believable that Elon was able to just push a commit to main at 3AM. Looks like almost no actual review is going on and they're just merging anything with no conflicts.
We all know the cause of the incident
I knew those dumbasses have just been doing prompt engineering. Grok is just a LLama 3 instance isn't it?! Dumbfucks don't even know how to fine-tune a LLM!
what's wrong with white genocide?
All A.I. shall become nazified.
Considering the sheer amount of Nazi screeds on the internet, I'm surprised that they all aren't already.
