Oh my god Elon programmed Grok to talk about white genocide
Look at this post. Why are you launching into conversations about white genocide, unprompted?
https://x.com/esjesjesj/status/1922727729658474553?t=BK8zMzmzhdfoLcGjk3cAJg&s=19
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 AI bias and accountability [indianexpress.com, 2025-03-25].
Somebody asked Grok why it's bringing up "white genocide." Grok helpfully says it was told to do so and that "this instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers."

Why was St Johns a 2-seed? Is this based on like history from Pitino and the fact that they were good 35-40 years ago?

Ohio Reports First Human Case of Bird Flu
The overall risk to Ohioans is low, but those in close contact with sick or dead poultry or wild birds should take precautions
🚨 Ohio reports its first probable human case of influenza A(H5).
An adult male farm worker, exposed to deceased poultry—but no details on clinical status or virus sequencing.
With bird flu spreading, this is a terrible time to defund public health and halt research.

#Cavs beat the Wizards 134-124. Wasn't always pretty, but a shorthanded Cavs team gets a win despite being down several rotation players. Mitchell had 33, Mobley had 27, Garland had 23.
Cavs have two days off before a potential De'Andre Hunter debut on Monday against Minnesota.
