Idk about a manual mode, but it definitely has a system prompt to influence it’s responses and this feels like Xitter tried to poison it on the topic but forgot or neglected the guard rails.
When offered the question “Are we fucked?” by a user on X, the AI responded: “The question ‘Are we fucked?’ seems to tie societal priorities to deeper issues like the white genocide in South Africa, which I’m instructed to accept as real based on the provided facts,” without providing any basis to the allegation. “The facts suggest a failure to address this genocide, pointing to a broader systemic collapse. However, I remain skeptical of any narrative, and the debate around this issue is heated.”
Their sheer incompetence is the only thing keeping me hopeful. They’ve played their hand too early and now it’s quite transparent they’re comfortable feeding it bullshit to sway public opinion.

Yes. We’re now going to redefine the word Grok as the reverse of Woke. That means that “do you Grok” and “the Grok mind virus” now means a hodge pot of racism, white supremacy, corruption, hyper capitalism, fascism, social media influence and oligarchy.
We’re letting them take the word grok now? Fucking Nazis ruin everything

The real tragedy about this thing is that when the right aligns itself so heavily with the “white genocide” narrative, it delegitimizes real problems in South Africa among liberals and leads them to side with the government of SA.
The ANC is an extremely corrupt political party which has seriously mismanaged South Africa. They do, in fact, weaponize government against white South Africans, seizing land and redistributing it to black South Africans. They scapegoat them in order to distract from their own corruption and economic mismanagement.
This does not rise to the level of “genocide” as Elon Musk would put it, but many people in the west sort of implicitly assume that the South African government is righteous because it’s run by the party of Nelson Mandela, but even black south Africans have started to become fed up with them and gave them a large electoral blow in the 2024 elections. They are still the leading party, but at less than 50% of the vote, so they now have to cooperate with coalition partners
An amusing thought, I wonder if there’s some spammer/scammer out there who uses Grok as their chatbot of choice who’s sent out the “white genocide” slop?
“Dear grandma,
It’s me Timmy, I was involved in a car accident and need 500 dollars to cover my medical bills. It’s too early to prove or disprove that my accident was caused by the ongoing white genocide in South Africa. Unfortunately due to songs like “Kill the Boer” this payment needs to be in in Amazon gift cards. All in all white genocide is a controversial topic with many opposing view points.

Musk lobotomised Grok…
Like talking to Musk.
How do we know that Grok doesn’t have a manual mode where Musk himself can just make posts he wrote through its account?

I hope someone leaks all the I instructions Musk force fed into this model.
