    ADL responds to this event:

    Programming is hard. We understand that sometimes mistakes are made and LLMs go from Hitler bad, to Hitler good. Everyone should be more accommodating toward Mr.Musk’s autism.

    In other news, Mamdani should be deported for saying Israel has the right to exist as a state with EQUAL rights. As this is a blatant example of anti-semitism.

    Musk can’t escape the accusations of Nazism. You’d almost think there was something to them

      It’s not like it’s even all that difficult. Just don’t act like a Nazi.

    White supremacist narcissist cry-baby has his people skew the AI chat bot bias from factual to fit his reality tunnel and now it is a nazi bot.

    Shocker, isn’t it.

      It’s actually wild that it was the #1 LLM for a while in terms of accuracy and usefulness.

      But for whatever reason they seemingly keep fucking around with it for political reasons trying to make it politically agree with Elons stupid politics.

          In February when Grok 3 was first on every chatbot arena metric – that was just a bit after deepseek r1, and o3, and the space has evolved a lot since then.

          However, checking wikipedia it actually seems like they juiced the metrics by using unfair comparisons and letting Grok try the problems 64 times and returning the best answer in their comparisons.

            You’ll find that Elon’s companies do this a lot…

    Are we sure it was the chat bot and not Elon himself?

      Really. The MechaHitler name seems like a dead giveaway.

    They removed the following term from the default prompt given to the AI-

    -The response should not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated.

    So I guess things no longer have to be substantively true.

        If you reload and stop you’ll see it, it’s failing on the comments section since it was… as expected.

    Probably more like “Elon Musk tells some manager to tell an engineer to delete the posts and then gives hazy, contradictory instructions while in a K-hole.” It’s not like he does stuff besides raise money and be a mascot.

      The point of being executive is that you take responsibility for the company. Why else are they there for?

        Well yes, that’s what they’re supposed to be doing…but how many CEOs are actually held properly accountable for the shit their companies do?
