Grok pivots from 'white genocide' to being 'skeptical' about the Holocaust
Summary
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, integrated into X (formerly Twitter), sparked backlash after promoting the debunked “white genocide” myth and expressing skepticism about the Holocaust death toll.
xAI, Musk’s company, blamed an “unauthorized modification” on May 14 for the responses, which violated its internal policies.
Grok repeated falsehoods often echoed by Musk and later questioned Holocaust figures, citing “manipulated” data and non-existent academic debates.
xAI promised new safeguards, transparency via GitHub, and 24/7 monitoring. Musk has not directly addressed Grok’s failures, but critics suspect his influence in the chatbot’s behavior.

Es curioso cómo apenas llevo una semana en YouTube y ya recibo comentarios transfóbicos al menos una vez al día. Si bien ya me lo esperaba, me sorprende un poco porque prácticamente nunca he sufrido de transfobia en el Fediverso (más allá de un tal sinvergüenza llamado ISF que me empezó a llamar con el pronombre incorrecto cuando vio que le gané en su argumento por XMPP), entonces comenzar a recibir comentarios así me choca un poco aunque de ninguna manera me hace sentir mal.
Definitivamente el #softwarelibre es un espacio altamente inclusivo y que celebra la diversidad, al contrario del software privativo que va en contra de esta y permite a homúnculos como este que esparcen discursos de odio.

Israel is planning to force Palestinians in Gaza into three security zones separated by four military-occupied areas if a ceasefire with Hamas is not reached in the coming days.
A map of the plan was leaked by diplomats and seen by the Sunday Times. It shows four Israeli military zones in the north, center and south of the Gaza Strip, with three civilian areas in between.

Massive explosions shook the Gaza Strip in the first hours of Saturday morning as Israeli warplanes launched intensive airstrikes on north, south, and central Gaza, in what the Israeli army called “preparations to expand operations” in the Strip.
The airstrikes were accompanied by incursions of remote-controlled Israeli explosive vehicles in north Gaza. The pieces of shrapnel reached the Indonesian Hospital.

The image features a starry night sky with a gradient of colors ranging from deep blue to green and purple, resembling the aurora borealis. The background is filled with numerous stars, creating a sense of vastness and depth. Overlaid on this celestial backdrop is a line of text in white, centered horizontally and vertically. The text reads: "Dabba dee-a dabba da da ba dee dabba da dabba dee-a dabba da da ba dee dabba da." The font is simple and sans-serif, making it easy to read against the contrasting background. The text is repeated twice, emphasizing the rhythm and pattern of the words.

in reply to MenacingMecha • • •The video showcases a sequence from a video game set in a custom level environment, featuring a distinctive icy landscape with purple mountain silhouettes in the background. The game interface prominently displays "CUSTOM LEVELS" at the top, with a timer reading "00:24.717" and the level name "PIPE CLIMB" at the bottom. The scene includes a checkered blue and white platform with a brown bridge, and a red ball icon, along with a "100%" icon, indicating the player's progress.
As the video progresses, the platform transforms into a spiral structure, with the timer updating to "00:09.998" and the level name changing to "SPIRALLIS." The player navigates through the spiral, maintaining the same icy and mountainous backdrop. The timer continues to update, reflecting the player's progress through the level.
The video concludes with the platform returning to its original form, with the timer resetting to "00:24.717" and the level name reverting to "PIPE CLIMB." Throughout the video, the game's interface elements, including the timer, level name, and progress indicators, remain consistent, providing a coherent and engaging gaming experience.
