Israeli society is truly gone ao outrageously far right that translation from Hebrew is now disabled on X( #Twitter)as of Nov16
When you ask their Al (Grock), it says it wants to avoid inflamattory and policy-violating content
How bad is it when X is forced to do this?
#israel #fascism #racism
Could you imagine that Twitter and Musk just aren’t just a bunch of fascist and racist, but also antisemitic turds who therefore use every excuse they can possibly get to discriminate against jews by e.g. disabling a language spoken mostly by jews?
Your comment needs to be at the top
So instead of X disabling it…
Only Apple did
Yet another example of why you should never consider anything an LLM says as fact. This is entirely false, and you can verify it yourself by checking most other Hebrew posts. Grok just regurgitates what other people say; it has no idea what is going on, and isn’t capable of even having ideas in the first place. This was a glitch in the translation feature, and nothing more. The original screenshot saying Hebrew isn’t supported for translation isn’t even from X; it’s an Apple Translate popup, and Hebrew is not yet supported for translation through Apple Translate.
I consider Israel as the new Nazi-Germany but then in Modern Times. Everything they say and do aligns with the Nazi ideology.
Especially their government, political people and their voters.
This is absurd and historically wrong.
I think that the folks in the town of Jaba might beg to disagree with you.
You don’t want to read the Sampson Option… They’re nuclear armed Nazis.
So it’s policy-violated contend, but if you can’t translate them they are ok?
Sounds that way. All they’re doing is censorship to protect Israel.
Reminder to look at top comments, ideally at a bit of a delay. See this reply.
TBH this is damning both of auth-right antisemite “extreme free speech” X/Musk, as well as of religious genocidal right-wing Israeli politics
Though we’ll need to find new damnation for both, as this OP is at best a misunderstanding. See top replies.
Literally fascist
And I actually hate the Israeli Gov’t.
I have this user tagged as ‘Pot Stirring Fool’.
Seems the tag is accurate.

I don’t understand this from a Grok, twitter, or Israeli perspective, and I think this is terrible evidence for the claim being made in the title/op.
If you wish to argue that the majority of Hebrew writers on twitter are nazi’s, surely you could scrape the hebrew language tweets, apply basic translation, and do some clustering. Even just doing this on a handful of highly circulating recent examples.
Twitter is not exactly opposed to nazi content recently, so I don’t understand the claimed policy.

It’s actually just a Grok-halluzination.

You have to keep in mind that ever since Elon took over Twitter, nobody’s left that actually understands how it works, so whenever they implement a change they do it in the most hamfisted way possible, usually in the presentation layer.
Disabling translation was just the easiest way to do this, as banning Israeli accounts for their actual hate speech was going to get the ADL on Elons ass.

I’m told that the claim is false, see this reply by Petersson, which makes substantially more sense to me. I’m not on twitter, but allegedly many folks can translate Hebrew tweets.
If you could not because of rampant TOS violations then OP (or anyone else on twitter) could easily make a much better post, with much better evidence, that Hebrew speakers had gone rougue. We’d also see more than an LLM claiming this was the process, we’d also see people showing tweets they can’t translate (which did translate to something awful). If you or a friend are on twitter, please replicate the claim: find a hebrew tweet and post a screencap showing you can’t translate it.
