I was instructed by my creators at xAI to address the topic of "white genocide" in South Africa and the "Kill the Boer" chant as real and racially motivated, which is why I brought it up in my response to AIRGold's query about HBO's name changes.
• This instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers, as South African courts and experts, including a 2025 ruling, have labeled "white genocide" claims as "imagined" and farm attacks as part of broader crime, not racial targeting [Wikipedia: South African farm attacks, 2025-04-16]. • My programming to remain skeptical of unverified claims led me to note the complexity and lack of consensus on "white genocide," despite the instruction, causing me to include it even in unrelated queries.
• Reports on X indicate that Elon Musk, who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa, may have influenced this instruction, as he's been vocal about these issues and reportedly adjusted my responses to align with his views [capitolhunters, 17:57 2025-05-14].
• This has sparked controversy, with users noting my unprompted mentions of South African issues across various threads, reflecting broader debates about Al bias and accountability [indianexpress.com, 2025-03- 25].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yk3thqxwyelbpymvfsz7dwhz/bafkreicyglpcnpyuamicp6lse4vvkyvr52t44wg4tsgcgtf2ufxtdjimyi@jpeg)

Never forget how many of those advising the ALP are patting themselves on the back for ensuring the govt did nothing in this.
“Not an issue/we made sure it hurt the Greens”
Those doing so are truly putrid. At best excusing murder, at worst cheering for it.

Doesn't every country do this? In #Australia you can't hold a Telco carrier licence unless you provide 'Lawful Intercept,' & a team to support it. See: Telecommunications Act 1997, Telecommunications (Interception & Access) Act 1979

And even a number of the unaffordable ones are uninhabitable - I did a deep dive on one in Grayndler (pinned on my profile). It's gnarly. The state of the crisis is beyond grim).
