This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material.

Behind Grok's 'sexy' settings, workers review explicit and disturbing content
Workers say they've faced sexually explicit content while xAI has marketed Grok to be deliberately provocative. Experts say the company should be cautious.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

EXTREME ANTI-BLACK RACISM CONTENT WARNING
www.mundoamerica.com/news/2025/09...
![Q. Why?
A. Until 1965, Africa was very civilized because each country was governed by a European country, and there was law and order. Look at Spain's example. Spain's history is the history of world colonization. Where Spain went, it brought order, civilization, cities... We did the same, but 500 years later. When the Europeans left, everything fell apart. Nothing remained. South Africa today is a lawless country, where even the police chief and Interpol director [Jackie Selebi] was sentenced to 15 years in prison for corruption. The African National Congress [ANC, which has governed South Africa since the end of apartheid] has looted the country. We are bankrupt. The US has cut all economic aid because South Africa supports Iran, Hamas, and all those terrorist groups. Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia [which also had its own apartheid], is as if it ceased to exist.
Q. Why did that happen?
A. All European countries have practiced racial discrimination. What happened is that South Africa maintained it when it achieved full independence in 1961. So apartheid is not something South Africa invented but something it continued. For example, the Netherlands did not allow people of color to enter its territory until 1920, despite having colonies in countries with people of color. South Africa maintained apartheid for an obvious reason: as soon as European countries left Africa, everything went to hell, civilization ended.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yn75hmwkitdshnylue6d3grk/bafkreieezpkvcwpx7xi7gta4m335mmpmublgsbnutphytt3fx5bfsykbpy@jpeg)
![Q. How do we know that the Democratic Republic of Congo or Rwanda won't follow in China's footsteps, which 100 years ago was one of the poorest countries in the world, where people were literally dying of hunger and living in perpetual civil war?
A. It's impossible for Congo to ever become like China. China was printing paper money 2,000 years ago. They always achieved extraordinary feats. In April, I went to Stanford University [in California], and many of the students and professors I met there were Chinese. They are the nicest, most decent, civilized, and intelligent people you can imagine. As far as I'm concerned, all the Chinese - and all the Japanese - who want to go to London can go.
Q. Do your children share your views, or are there big arguments at family meals?
A. They share them.
Q. What about Elon?
A. Yes. My views are not based on any crazy ideology but on the experience of having traveled through Africa, where you have to be careful about what you eat and drink because if you make a mistake, you could be dead in two weeks... Think about Spain. It's an exquisitely beautiful country. If you bring people who don't appreciate that beauty, what can you expect other than them destroying it? They won't do it on purpose, but because they don't understand that beauty. I like people to move up in life, so I have a lot of black people working for me in minor roles. They are very useful, helpful, try to do things right, do as they are told, don't argue with you... but I would never live in their communities under their lifestyle.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yn75hmwkitdshnylue6d3grk/bafkreig4o2sjtxgga2cpv2kxnoml7mpupkyvqrt3262plzoq5jfves7rum@jpeg)

There are very, VERY few people who are equipped to talk about this shooter correctly given the brainrot written on the shell casing. You have to understand so much of online culture to get it and also understand how that culture is both connected to and separate from real world ideological spaces

Honestly I've often questioned whether training a machine to predict the next word is really the right approach to get to a machine that can "think"
The connections between the various data inside an LLM is entirely based on patterns, not any kind of logic.
