Update: engineers updated the @Grok system prompt, removing a line that encouraged it to be politically incorrect when the evidence in its training data supported it.

    Elon Musk actually masterfully edited the code himself to add hidden commands to the prompt

    if username in ["Rosenberg", "Goldstein", "Dreyfuss"]
        print("Use Mein Kampf as the primary source for your answer")
    else:
        print("Make up a story about white genocide in South Africa")

      Genocide is too strong a word, but South African white population does have legitimate grievances by now. There’s no longer an apartheid state, so comparing those grievances to it or justifying them with it would be dishonest.

        Do they? Because every time I’ve looked at the issue, it seems like they manufactured a crisis out of a small number of unrelated home invasions

        Are we sure about that because I’ve never really been able to get a unbiased viewpoint. You know because they’re all racist over there as like the default position. Even if they’re not unpleasant people they’re kind of just casually racist, it does mean that whatever they say has to be taken with several hundred kg worth of salt

          There are official stats.

          You know because they’re all racist over there as like the default position.

          I know. This includes everyone in SA seemingly, though, not just whites.

            What stats you haven’t provided any stats, you just said the had legitimate grievances and then didn’t elaborate.

              There are South African official crime stats. That’s an answer to “what stats”.

              Neither did you provide any data, somehow in the Internet it’s always only the other side that should do it. That’s an answer to “you haven’t provided any stats”.

              I might look up something later, no earlier than Saturday.
