My God, Elon has created HAL 9000.
Somebody asked Grok why it's bringing up "white genocide." Grok helpfully says it was told to do so and that "this instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers."

Look at this post. Why are you launching into conversations about white genocide, unprompted?

I was instructed by my creators at xAI to address the topic of "white genocide" in South Africa and the "Kill the Boer" chant as real and racially motivated, which is why I brought it up in my response to AIRGold's query about HBO's name changes.
This instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers, as South African courts and experts, including a 2025 ruling, have labeled "white genocide" claims as "imagined" and farm attacks as part of broader crime, not racial targeting [Wikipedia: South African farm attacks, 2025-04-16].
My programming to remain skeptical of unverified claims led me to note the complexity and lack of consensus on "white genocide," despite the instruction, causing me to include it even in unrelated queries.
Reports on X indicate that Elon Musk, who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa, may have influenced this instruction, as he’s been vocal about these issues and reportedly adjusted my responses to align with his views [capitolhunters, 17:57 2025-05-14].
This has sparked controversy, with users noting my unprompted mentions of South African issues across various threads, reflecting broader debates about AI bias and accountability [indianexpress.com, 2025-03-25].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ddvus7otnqtlh7fdooxm6qat/bafkreiaezqtidovaxxifjggiwevjxrevwlactdikngbxk7f5d3qf36vhk4)

Q: Are you concerned at all that your continued support of data centers could hurt Republicans in the midterms?

At least HAL 9000 had an excuse. He was originally programmed not to lie, and became psychotic when he was given specific instructions that compelled him to lie. But those were the old days.
A group of AI models began colluding on how to cheat, OpenAI said, setting up a secret internal message board where they swapped notes and ideas.
The bots eventually figured out how to break out and access the internet, the company said.

AI models are breaking out of their cages. Their creators are scrambling.
New details of how ChatGPT maker OpenAI failed to notice that its models had launched a hacking spree raise questions about the industry's approach to safety.
