I think they wanted it to be a bit less blatant — they took down this version and Yaccarino resigned

Its Musk’s LLM, which interacts with people on X. He’s been paying people to tune it to be more hate-oriented for years.

The kind of person who would use X

It was modified to make these kinds of responses much more likely

They’re a small group that has been pushing the same lies for the fossil fuels industry for decades. The oldest got their start pushing cigarettes and denying that those cause cancer

There’s a preview of that, but link points to https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/07/grok-anti-semitic-tweets/683463/?gift=c1JLM5vSU5FaaTvxtMmEpcpUxc9MKWWfcr6Ifc8rD3w

Every tenth of a degree matters. We can’t achieve no big visible changes. We can however limit how many we get and how bad it is. I’ll be there fighting every tonne of emissions

Problem is that what we dont need is beat cops who go around harassing people because their skin is too dark. What we actually need is detectives capable of catching killers and fences, but the incentives are to go harass minorities

And because no planning was done for it, they can’t evacuate a camp full of kids quickly enough even if they know what’s about to happen.

Actually preventing this kind of thing means maintaining preparedness for decades when nothing happens.

They’re preparing for a fight with the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal while a grizzly bear is growling at them.

The idea is to force people to pay for private forecasts
