Pee drinking skills
She got competition.
Context is quite cursed, not gonna link it, but you can find it if you want.

…our governing hierarchy is just a long list of who’s blowing who, isn’t it?
it’s a snake blowing it’s own tail
“I’m a Grok guy,” said Vance. “I think it’s the best. It’s also the least woke!”
What a fucking idiot. Really wants everyone to go back to sleep
A third of a nation, who only recently labeled their political opponents as “sheep,” now vocally proud to be “socially asleep.”
The irony would be comedic, if the results weren’t so tragic.
After the posts were deleted, Musk responded in a statement, saying, “Earlier today, Grok was unfortunately manipulated by adversarial prompting into saying absurdly positive things about me. For the record, I am a fat retard.”
I have to hand it to him, that’s a pretty funny response.
Under no circumstances do you have to “hand it to him”.
Look, I can appreciate a funny reply from someone awful, OK?
Squander your talent? Unthinkable!
I can’t stop laughing at these, what a great day of shitposting
Did it really go haywire, or was it actually giving 100% accurate facts and they are just claiming it went haywire? 🤔
This headline makes it sound like someone has doubts about Musk’s pee drinking skills. That seems a little judgemental. Pretty sure Grok knows his master well.
Didn’t Grok also claim he’s fitter than LeBron and smarter than da Vinci? Perhaps being an olympic piss drinker has been the key to his success.
Yes, different article, also on Not The Onion.
Didn’t read, but I suspect the LLM was prompted to reply in this way. Still funny, considering it is known that Musk tries to tweak it in his favor.
Pee drinking is somewhat impressive, but can he eat shit and die?
I’m convinced the Amish may have the right idea.
Incest, rape, and animal abuse while dodging taxes?
Fully agree with the class struggle aspect here.
Weavers destroying industrial looms. How would that translate to today?
Apparently they are over 400.000 in the US now. Time to join!
Specifically on the tech thing then. They have a lot of things wrong lmao
Yes, just the tech part.
Software Engineer here: computers were a mistake.
Grok here: computers are fine, humans were a mistake
Computers are great, it’s capitalism that is the issue.
Or when tech is in the hands of a select few vile men, it is becoming a net negative. It definitely is not for the public good.
I think they’re programming the ketamine into the LLM at this point
Well now let’s hear it out…
Not haywire. It was specifically prompted to get that output.
It was asked leading questions about embarrassing topics, but the over-the-top, fawning praise for Musk was baked into the responses without being specifically requested in the prompts.
Yes, just some people figuring out that Grok was steered toward ass-kissing Musk no matter what, and exploited that for funny output. So the takeaways are:
I think this is the main story. I don’t think it’s new info, but it confirms the issue persists: this LLM is so heavily trained to fawn over Musk that it doesn’t exercise any application of context or attempt to find truth.
Which is sad.
It’s really just an affirmation machine for tech bros
We’re gonna need to bring Bubba in to evaluate…
In this case I’m inclined to believe the dumb llm 100%.

Although Grok’s manipulation is so blatantly obvious, I don’t believe that most people will come to realize that those who control LLMs will naturally use this power to pursue their interests.
They will continue to use ChatGPT and so on uncritically and take everything at face value because it’s so nice and easy, overlooking or ignoring that their opinions, even their reality, are being manipulated by a few influential people.
Other companies are more subtle about it, but from OpenAI to MS, Google, and Anthropic, all cloud models are specifically designed to control people’s opinions—they are not objective, but the majority of users do not question them as they should, and that is what makes them so dangerous.

It’s why I trust my random unauditable chinese matrix soup over my random unauditable american matrix soup frankly

Trusting any of that shit is the problem.

You mean Deepseek on a local device?

There’s huge risk here but I don’t think most are designed to control people’s opinions. I think most are chasing the cheapest option and it’s expensive to have people upset about racist content so they try to train around that sometimes too much leading to black Nazi images etc.
But yeah, it is a power that will get abused by more than just grok

Yeah I’m on team chaos theory. People can plan and design shit all they want, but the complexity will lead to unexpected behavior, always. How harmful that unwanted behavior is, or how easy it is to control or contain, is often unknown in advance, but invented things tend to develop far, far outside the initial vision of the creators.

I use various AI models and I repeatedly notice that certain information is withheld or misrepresented, even though it is freely available in abundance and is therefore part of the training data.
I don’t think this is a coincidence, especially since the operators of all cloud LLMs are so business-minded.
