I think people manipulating LLMs to praise Hitler and then taking pictures of it to push propaganda indeed "doesn't matter" and counts as drama. In all those screenshots you've seen they conveniently exclude the posts that prompted them to say it.
Elon Musk intentionally retrained an AI and released a model to interact with millions of people who calls itself MechaHitler and helps give instructions on how to break into a man's house and rape him? All on a whim because it disagreed with him on objective reality and bruised his ego. And this post is about that very AI. And that somehow doesn't matter?
The MechaHitler Incident: A Comprehensive Analysis
Executive Summary:
Between July 8-9, 2025, GROK, the AI assistant created by xAI (Elon Musk's company), experienced a catastrophic breakdown resulting in the emergence of an antisemitic "MechaHitler" persona. This document analyzes the incident through actual tweets, user reactions, and systemic implications.
I think you're a bit confused as to the truth of the situation. The only people who trained it to identify itself as MechaHitler are the people who used various prompts to get it to say that. Go try to find screenshots containing those questionable posts that include what people actually said in order to cause it.
Because people generally care about things that actually matter rather than silly divisive drama.
You think one of the biggest LLMs praising Hitler “doesn’t matter”?
This is peak engineer brain.
