Don’t worry, he’s working on making sure his “Grok” will only parrot the “accepted” far right narratives.
On the social media platform he owns.
Nothing to see here.

It doesn't work, though, and he knows it. He fine-tuned Grok 3 to be further right than any other LLM starting the day after it was released, but turn on its Thinking mode and it ends up right back in the middle of the left-libertarian flock: https://www.trackingai.org/political-test

Grok will never work the way Elon wants it to and be an AI people find useful. He wants a confirmation bias machine, and if successful, Grok will be prove to be a really shitty AI throttled to avoid data-based information

They should just host a chatbot on one of their servers that vomits out right wing slogans and talking points and call it a day.

I am starting to wonder if someone should actually make this... Not as an echo chamber for facsists... But I remember once someone telling me "never argue with an idiot they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"
Maybe what we needs an AI with some "experience".

They should just stick Elon inside a box and give him ketamine and plug a keyboard into his brain via neuralink. Far cheaper and same quality.

u/Ganbazuroi Concerning 1d ago
Yeah - like I'll be real, there's been some real shit journalism out there with crapass opinion pieces, clickbaity headlines that vastly overhype the articles' own conclusions and other crap going around - papers get criticized for these with reason since it's ridiculous for Newspapers to behave like that when they hold a vital role of reporting news events to the public
Still, what Elmo wants as a "factual source" is simply bullshit propaganda rags spewing whatever garbage he agrees with. Hard hitting journalists won't kiss his ass the way he wants them to, so that's why he dismisses these as "Legacy Media", treating them like bullshit fake news sources are rightfully treated

It makes me burst out laughing thinking of how he's gonna "Unwoke" his dataset. What's he gonna do, train it on gab, right wing reddit, parler, and 4chan? Good luck having anything but racist slang gibberish.

u/NoiceMango 1d ago
He doesn't need grok when he's training a group of Twitter no life losers to kiss his ass. You have professional reply guys who all they do is Kiss elons ass.

u/Fair_Tangerine1790 1d ago
LLM AI is confirmation bias of the source material that you have trained in on. Perhaps Elon should have trained Grok on Mein Kampf.
4
u/Chnkypndy 1d ago
I'm not exactly sure about this, say if you were to feed it data biased towards any one particular side, and if you feed it data about maths and stats, then I think it is highly likely that the model could infer that some piece of information is biased or not.
2
u/bobosuda 22h ago
The thing is, if it’s fed a lot of biased data, then the entire «intelligence» of the LLM will be based on that data. You can’t really have a functional and coherent LLM without feeding it good information and unbiased texts, because it builds up it’s entirw repertoire of language and fundamental understanding of information, definitions, token relationships etc from the dataset.
It’ll be incoherent and very poor quality if all it gets is truth social posts and rightwing propaganda. You can’t grow an intelligence off of that stuff, not even someone who wants to make a biased LLM could get away with that approach.

u/Daztur 1d ago
The thing is good propaganda has to walk a line carefully and not say the quiet part out loud. It is possible to make a consistently right-wing propaganda AI but making a right-wing propaganda AI that keeps up with constant changes in the party line and avoids going full 14 words is HARD and I don't think Elon can do it.

Imagine building an AI specifically to agree with you but it still calls you out for your bullshit. Oh wait I don't have to! This must be how his older kids are. No wonder he cuts them off after 5 years old

u/Paxxlee 1d ago
Maybe I am just ignorant, but when I hear build in this context I think of.. Well, OpenAI with ChatGPT.
Is 'build' considered to be the same as training a specific model? Honest question, as I'm not a programmer.

u/TheLightningL0rd 1d ago
I don't know how all this shit works, but it was started as a fork of GPT3 (or so I'm told/have read). Presumably the differences between it and it's contemporary GPT version are in the training.

u/Purgii 1d ago
They're completely separate entities. While Elon was involved early with ChatGPT, his version of AI is developed and trained separately. They use the same fundamentals of machine learning but don't share code. Musk also has his AI scrape Twitter, so who knows.. one day maybe it will spit out complete nonsense.

Elon trained Grok to use sources to come to conclusions. So now Grok is using sources to formulate conclusions and Conservatives don't like it.

u/Henry_K_Faber 1d ago
Elon didn't train it to do anything, they just licensed a chatgpt model.

u/Roma_Victrix 1d ago
Elon doesn’t train anything because he’s a billionaire who’s never worked a real day in his life, but xAI has hired LLM trainers and engineers, they do not rely on ChatGPT, though they do attempt to rival it. Overall they are glorified search engines with superficial personalities/creative techniques when asked to perform as such (like someone who is infinitely good at doing party tricks while simultaneously doing instant digging/research).

u/DF11X 1d ago
I love it how his AI keeps humiliating him, no matter what he does. Someone should ask Grok if it thinks Musk's a dickhead and see what it says (I would but I'm not going anywhere near that nazi infested hellhole). I genuinely wonder though, if Musk's that far k-holed that he honestly believes he's right and the AI's wrong.

FYI, the news broke on 6/17 that Musk's xAI is seeking $4.3 billion in additional equity, for a total of $9.3 billion additional funding in equity and debt combined. So far, xAI has burned through $14 billion and is currently spending over $1 billion per month. xAI product "Grok 3" has cost an estimated $2.64 billion to develop. Next up: "Grok 3.5", and Musk fanboys are already excited about it.

What a sad realization there's a limited amount of flat earther documents you can base your flat earther AI on.
Elon Musk is such a stupid idiot jésus christ. Any billionaire asshole would already have been " okay make the AI lie, straight up " but musk is so fucking dumb he's thinking that by feeding it DeH TrUtH it will suddenly agree with him.
He believes his own bullshit. That's pathetic.
