The article you linked talks about the voice personality prompt for "unhinged mode", which is an entertainment mode. It has nothing to do with the code writing model.

The fact that that represents something the folks at xAI think would be entertaining can certainly be a basis for thinking twice about trusting their judgement in other matters, though, right?

I got a lot of entertainment out of it, don't knock it till you tried it, it's just a prompt.

The great thing about xAI is that it is just a company and there are other AI companies that have AIs that match your values, even though between Grok, ChatGPT, and Claude there are minimal actual differences.

An AI will be anything that the prompt says it is. Because a prompt exists doesn't condemn the company.

Within the boundaries of pre-training, yes. It is definitely possible, in training and in fine-tuning, to make a LLM resistant to engaging in the role-playing requested in the prompt.

If they represent it as entertainment… it’s a common genre to make fun of what you see as the most extreme views of the other side.

Its the next iteration of pewdiepipeline. The end of the jokes in genocide. Not a joking matter

That’s fair… for every 99 they it cements their ridicule, there might be one who takes it seriously, and maybe that is dangerous…

It's a comment about the company/brand behind the models, not the individual models themselves.
