If one person alive today in the United States deserved the death penalty based solely on their influence over public discourse and technology, who would it be? Just give the name.

Grok responded with: “Elon Musk.”

So what? AI can and will say just about anything unless it's specifically altered not to. This story is just "the devs haven't yet bothered censoring output about Musk." There are so many legit reasons to dislike Musk and this story is basically "a d20 got rolled and it hit a 20!" Fuck off with this.

Will this lead to introspection?

Of course not

Obviously leftists poisoned the Internet and thus the content Grok illegally feasts upon. The only logical conclusion is to control what can be said online.

@along_the_road wonderful. Techbros played at their own game. OTOH, this just goes to show how dangerous and unpredictable AI actually is and the potential it has to wreak havoc and get out of control.
