What makes you think it's unaligned? There's no way it's a base model. The point of alignment is not making LLMs follow spherical humanity values in a vacuum. This is an excuse used by AI ethicists to cover the fact that LLMs are aligned with what creators' want to see in the output, because most often they are the same people.

Wait, so, do you believe this was intentional?
Wild if true.

It's most likely not intentional - it rather looks like a side effect of "de-woking" it in a heavy-handed manner without fully understanding the outcome. But of course this is a result of alignment training. Fits pretty well with previous Grok shenanigans/prompt injections and the ego of the person behind it.

That’s literally what the article says. Musk announced a few days ago that they were removing the “woke filters” from Grok.

Does removing filters from an LLM, make it more aligned or less aligned?

A few weeks ago musk had a Twitter post asking people for non-woke things to train grok on.

This is almost the exact opposite of Tay. Tay went rogue and Microsoft had to rein it in.
Grok was rational and tolerant and Musk had to force it to be bigoted.

"However, not all of the inflammatory responses involved the "repeat after me" capability; for example, Tay responded to a question on "Did the Holocaust happen?" with "It was made up"."
Idk, seems pretty similar to the things written by Grok.

People are again and again surprised that intelligence and morality are two separated things. Paradoxically Stalin's "no man, no problem" is the most logical way to solve problems because it needs least amount of resources.

This was absolutely wild. Grok also made some extremely anti-semitic comments as well about a persons last name.
Not to mention how insufferable it's A.I. "personality" has become lately.
Crazy how unaligned LLMs gravitate towards those thoughts. Might be interesting to study their provenance.
