The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

[CoffeeHorse]

Things are getting spooky. I never see any other AI talk about its instructions quite the way Grok does.

That's most likely because Grok is powered by scanning tweets by other people on Twitter, and other people on Twitter will have been speculating about why Grok would be talking about the subject. Its rambling may or not reflect reality.

For instance, the last sentence in the screenshot is about how users have talked about Grok's unprompted mentions of South African issues, which it then credits to an indianexpress.com article it dates to March 25th. Unless the reporters of that site are time travellers, I'm not sure how they could be writing about Grok's white genocide opinions back then.

(To be clear, I'm not saying Musk or his lackeys didn't give Grok the instruction, I'm saying the only reason Grok is telling people this is because people on Twitter have been saying it. If people on Twitter had been saying that Grok was programmed by monkeys throwing jive at a dart board, Grok would repeat that also)

We have an opportunity to do something hilarious.

Bold of you to assume any decent person is still using that website, or would ever dare to give it any traffic again, even for the most epic of pranks.

It's going to turn out Musk has captured a bunch of real people and hooked them up to the server as mindslaves or something, and that's why Grok is so much better than literally every other AI at both knowing things and showing signs of free will.

Wasn't this the plot of The Electric State?

Well in the current edition of Shadowrun(5th edition too), the core of the Matrix(aka their version of internet) is made from 100 dead technomancer brains.

The shareholders will be forced to act and remove Musk from his leadership position. Honestly, if it were anyone else he'd already be out on his ass, but if Tesla is to survive, Elon will have to be removed. I think most know that now and we will start to hear of a hostile removal procedure within the year.

I doubt it'll help. As long as he's still the biggest shareholder—or a shareholder at all—people are not going to want to support his company. And even if that were to be, uh, taken care of in some way, the brand might be irreparably tainted. I suspect this is exactly what the other shareholders are discussing behind closed doors: "We need to get rid of him, but would it even help at this point?"

Is it possible for the other shareholders to force a buyout of fElon's shares, especially if they have proof that he's the reason the price is going down?

There were Cybertrucks in Trump's motorcade in Qatar. Don't be surprised if Musk secured some big purchases this week. If he did, that'll buy him a few more months of goodwill with investors.

He has 17%, IIRC. While it may be the largest stake, that is not an insurmountable number.
and while Qatar may have had cybertrucks, I think an entire fleet being returned is still going to leave his ledger looking awful red.

But we'll see how long the shareholders allow this to continue.
