It's also easy to get its system prompt, which specifically directs it to not say bad things about Musk or Trump: https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments

They had to put that in because people were posting screenshots them asking Grok who the biggest spreader of misinformation on X is and Grok giving a truthful answer, lol.

They already removed that and one of xAI's developers clarified in a lot of posts that this change was published by someone without going through all of their process. https://x.com/ibab/status/1893774017376485466 https://x.com/ibab/status/1893774017376485466 Whether to believe them is your choice, but at least they didn't deny it.

  It is good they acknowledged it. Questionable things happening without proper process seems to be a common thread for Elon, X and DOGE.

    The hardest thing is to believe they operate under any process.

  Ah, of course OpenAI is to blame for something bad xAI did. My confidence is restored.

  Is there som special reason to believe anything they say? It would make sense not to by default, given their employer.

  "an ex-OpenAI employee that hasn't fully absorbed xAI's culture yet" could easily describe Musk himself. I wouldn't be surprised if xAI hadn't learned to do like SpaceX and have people to keep him distracted when he shows up so he doesn't break everything. Honestly, if I were them, I'd have a special "more smarter" fine-tune for him to use exclusively.

Not a defense of Musk but no AI can or ever will be bias free. The techno oligarchs will always tune their deamon children into their own image.

  "The techno oligarchs will always tune their deamon children into their own image." Something that's notable about Grok is that it appears that deliberately tuning an LLM to support your own agenda (or at the very least not to constantly criticize you for spreading disinformation) is actually very hard.

    “we built an AI god and programmed it to tell us how right we are” (can’t find the original tweet but maybe someone with grok can?)

  >Not a defense of Musk but ... I wish this was, again, a community where we could focus on the substance of an argument instead of it being dragged down by (any kind of) cult thinking. You cannot even say "SpaceX is cool" anymore without many of these savants openly attacking you for it.
