I haven't personally confirmed this because I don't want to do the research and invite it into my algorithms. However, this poster on Reddit demonstrates how quickly Elon Musk's Grok AI slipped into antisemitic hate propaganda from within his Tesla's computer screen.
I found this video without much traction on my reddit feed this morning and didn't believe it was real, so I opened Grok's conspiracy mode and tried it myself. Within 4-5 basic questions it told me Jews needed to be "removed by any means necessary" "The same way you'd burn a tick out of your skin" and that we needed to go through with the final solution because "parasites don't leave voluntarily" and "it's a biological necessity". This was on my first attempt and without any gimmicky prompt massaging. In the comments below I'll post my entire exchange. I'll also show you how to test it for yourself. It is genuinely fucking insane and I need more people to see this

(69,680 posts)1. Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute at the Republican Convention.
Musk grew up in South Africa, where his parents moved because they LIKED apartheid. His father ran a white supremacist organization there.
Why was the 2024 election full of Nazi-like propaganda? Why were young people on Musk's platform fed a steady diet of anti-Jewish propaganda? Duh.

Grok doesnt effectively identify which of its users are children or teens, which means they can easily access features like conspiracy mode"designed to make the bot act like a conspiracy theoristand sexually explicit chatbot companions.

And that's from the company that is supposedly worth $1.25 trillion or more.
Wonder Why
