Suspiciously on brand


This is Musk working to exclude himself from marketing any product to the general public.


Is this just Elon shitposting through Grok's account


Some of the threads I saw were pretty wild, how it unprompted suggested Hitler would be the best person to solve the problem and the solution was to round up your enemies, which tend to have certain surnames, and put them in camps.

So the LLM seems to have had a pretty good idea of what "do Hitler" was, and was trained to see this as a good thing.

For those "opposing woke" its interesting that one of the prominent members of the anti-woke movement accidentally?? trained their bot that opposite of woke is Hitler..

The opposite of a bad idea can be another bad idea.
