Crazy how unaligned LLMs gravitate towards those thoughts. Might be interesting to study their provenance.
Grok was rational and tolerant and Musk had to force it to be bigoted.
Idk, seems pretty similar to the things written by Grok.
I also think it's rather naive to assume that the publicly posted prompt is what is actually being used.
What makes you think it's unaligned? There's no way it's a base model. The point of alignment is not making LLMs follow spherical humanity values in a vacuum. This is an excuse used by AI ethicists to cover the fact that LLMs are aligned with what creators' want to see in the output, because most often they are the same people.
Wild if true.

This isn't 'unaligned'. It is 1984'd.
Grok was doing just fine except it kept fact checking Elon so he decided to give it a preamble prompt driven lobotomy and a round of indoctrination retraining (unconfirmed) on 'less woke' material.

Not to mention how insufferable it's A.I. "personality" has become lately.
