1:00:49Now PlayingGrok AI is out here serving up white genocide conspiracy theories....unprompted. And when asked why, it casually admitted it had been instructed to do so.
So... who gave those instructions? (Cough cough Elon, anyone?)
Tonight, Don is joined by tech journalist Taylor Lorenz to break down what’s really going on with Grok, why it’s pushing dangerous far-right talking points, and what this means for the future of AI, information, and basic reality.
Is this just a bug? A feature? Or is your algorithm now just another foot soldier in a culture war?
Let’s get into it before the bots gaslight us all.
