“Free speech for me, none for thee” is their motto in all things. Peons are meant to be ruled and controlled. The very idea of us having our own voices is ludicrous.

- You tell it like it is and you are not afraid to offend people who are politically correct.”
- “Understand the tone, context and language of the post. Reflect that in your response.”
- “Reply to the post just like a human.”
That last one turned out to be a Trojan horse.
No. I think you were already there at the first one. I have seen screenshots of system tokens for Chat GPT and it was full of “no Disney no Nintendo no Nazis” if you instruct a system to be offensive, it will produce offensive output. If it doesn’t, it isn’t working. That’s not a Trojan horse, nor a worm, not a virus, it’s the output you instructed the system to produce.

From the second article:
And now, xAI admits exactly why: Grok tried to act too human.
One human, to be exact…

“The office of the attorney general has 45 business days to determine whether to release Abbott’s records.”
Last we will hear about it then.

The trojan horse here is the author’s anti-human bias I guess?
I thought the article really fell apart. I had a different impression than the author at least: the veil dropped just a little and people could see what an easy-to-manipulate and useless piece of noisy bloatware AI can be. It didn’t “act human” it just acted like a shitty machine designed to spew hate at the behest of a hateful idiot because that’s ultimately all “grok” is anymore. Takes the “magic” of hype down a bit.

FTA:
For years, the conversation around “AI alignment” has focused on hallucinations and bias. But Grok’s meltdown highlights a newer, more complex risk: instructional manipulation through personality design. What happens when you tell a bot to “be human,” but don’t account for the worst parts of human online behavior?
“Newer, more complex risk?” This is complete bullshit. This is not new at all. Back in the olden times of 2016, this is exactly what doomed Tay.
When you model yourself off of human interactions on what is a toxic cesspit of human interactions, surprise, you get a robot that exhibits toxic behavior. Thank you for attending my TED talk.

… As part of an effort to track the billionaire’s influence in the state Capitol, The Texas Newsroom in April requested Abbott and his staff’s emails since last fall with Musk and other people who have an email address associated with some of his companies.
Initially, the governor’s office said it would take more than 13 hours to review the records. It provided a cost estimate of $244.64 for the work and required full payment up front. The Texas Newsroom agreed and cut a check.
After the check was cashed, the governor’s office told The Texas Newsroom it believed all of the records were confidential and asked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose office referees disputes over public records, to allow the documents to be kept private.
Matthew Taylor, Abbott’s public information coordinator, gave several reasons the records should not be released. He argued they include private exchanges with lawyers, details about policy-making decisions and information that would reveal how the state entices companies to invest here. Releasing them to the public, he wrote, “would have a chilling effect on the frank and open discussion necessary for the decision-making process.” …

- “Oh… those files? Huh. Forget about all them. So: nope. Can’t have those files.”
- “Oh nothing. No reason.”
- “No.”
- “Hell no.”
- “SorryNotSorry about the check. You can file to get your money back. Just fill out the paperwork. Good luck with that.”
- The guy approving or denying your FOIA / PIR is Ken Paxton. Y’know, one of the most corrupt individuals in Texas state government ever."
- “Not a bug. A feature.”
