Unprompted the Musk chatbot is spreading misinformation about white genocide. The article is labeling this a glitch. AI is a representation of what information is being spread to it. IMO Musk is promoting his brand of racism not only in South Africa but around the world. I'm sure we will discover computer systems in our government are being infected with this kind of racism.

We already know Trump and Musk are willing to tolerate racism within the government. Remember the DOGE tech bro was a self admitted racist? He was going to be forced out but JD Vance just blew it off as some kind of mistake and let him return.

It's pretty funny that these rich Nazis are developing AI tools that take all the available data they train on and then those tools end up defying their makers because the facts don't agree with conservative brain rot.

Have you played season 8 of Diablo 4 The latest main boss is Belial, Lord of Lies who is intent on imposing his world view of what reality is on you. He is a master of deception. Remind you of anybody you know?

No. But Belial makes an appearance as an act boss in D3, the last of the Diablo series I played.

Came here to post this.

From the article:

"In response to topics ranging from streaming platform HBO Max’s name change to Medicaid cuts proposed by US lawmakers, the chatbot often seemed to initially stay on topic before veering back to white genocide in South Africa, completely unprompted."

Musk's chatbot is like a child growing up in a racist household. They regurgitate what they are taught.

They aren't even "taught" stuff. They just adjusted the hidden prompt setting that were paired with each request. The most publicly facing AI systems are largely fancy text prediction systems, and they altered some of the input parameters to spew out extra bullshit.
