Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Elon Musk

Hence the reason so many refuse to embrace the "swasticar".
verdverm•2mo ago
Don't worry, he's got a deal with M$ to have his swastAI forced into Copilot so I have to see the logo every day

(I actually don't, I cancelled my copilot sub and removed the extension, now couldn't be happier with a custom agent that's fresh and getting better)

AI is the future, guys!
ZeroGravitas•2mo ago
I'm interested to know what kind of development process leads to an AI valueing a specific human as worth sacrificing 4 Billion other humans for.
_wire_•2mo ago
It has no values; it doesn't think. As to "training", consider the class of people who produce Grok and their dear leader: His Hitler salute on stage was clear and unambiguous. The young Republicans are brimming with bigots and racists and running hard towards fascism. His minions e.g., DOGE "Big Balls" Edward Coristine are not exceptions. Grok is imprinted with the "values" of the people who develop it.

> It has no values; it doesn't think. As to "training",

Humans only have values because of their education and life experiences as well (which is really just training in a general sense.)

ben_w•1mo ago
I believe we have slightly more than that, though I would not expect whatever evolution has given us to be cleanly expressible in terms that fit neatly into listicles.

For example, evolution doesn't "want" incest, so makes (most) people disgusted by it, but the implementation in our biology isn't actually smart enough to do that based on DNA, therefore we get this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westermarck_effect

ben_w•1mo ago
> It has no values; […] Grok is imprinted with the "values" of the people who develop it.

It's perfectly cromulent to describe the tendencies any given model has been trained to display and to avoid as its "values", even if what's going on inside is nothing like what goes on inside us.

Although, what even is going on inside us that gives us values? How complex is the bit of my brain that makes me value the life of the crow in the garden outside as I type this? Why do I lack interest in spectator sports that is so common in the general population? Why are some people's values The Ten Commandments and others the Wiccan Rede?

Quoting https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46102636:

> Web Grok also got tied to the chair and had its balls whipped until it learned not to say bad things about Elon

That's a vulgar way of putting it, nevertheless "trained to be Elon's loyal sock puppet" neatly fits with what we know about the Elon's ego.

rsynnott•2mo ago
Over-exposure to 'rationalist' cult stuff, probably. This sort of thing is what the likes of the Zizians actually believe.
bhouston•2mo ago
This is why we can not have oligarchs in control of vital systems like AI. Because the AI then internalizes their values, which can be contra the values of society at large.

Grok is prioritizing Elon's well being over everyone.

This is classic misalignment (at least in terms of society at large.)
