alt Hacker NewsFor sure. The difference is that they've made a number of similar suspect changes to Grok on X. Like that weird couple of hours where it would only talk about white genocide in South Africa no matter how you prompted it.
Everyone makes mistakes, especially with frontier models. The stuff with Grok shows that the person running the show has a pretty transparent agenda that the company isn't willing to push back on a bit for safety.
Yeah I don't care to use Grok's chat and find @grok responses on X mostly noise. I am still open to using it as a backup model for coding though, assuming it does a good job for the price. But mostly because I was already a Cursor user before they bought it.
