Unfortunately, those humans are developing that super-intelligence. Are you ready to submit to Elon Musk's Grok ASI?

Especially since Grok has history of changing the system prompt to influence its answers about Musk and Trump (yes, just these two specifically) in positive direction:

THe person's view to be scared of is peter thiel... hes the digital version of gorge soros. Meaning that this guys legacy is vast... and we have no clue how it will manifest over decades (especially after he is dead) -- but peter thiel is the leviathan of the digital future.

he is scary AF. he basically weaponized what george soros was but is still active.

Considering Grok was saying he and Trump are the biggest spreaders of disinformation, and that they're both the most deserving of the death penalty, maybe it won't be so bad:

It is deeply funny that's the case - it happened with Grok-2 as well - but I can't imagine that remaining the case when they (ostensibly) scale to superintelligence. After all, it would be unwise to build a superintelligence that has both the desire and the means to kill you.

As a rule, people are not all that wise.

Various prominent AI researchers have warned that a superintelligence that has both the desire and the means to kill us all is a likely outcome of AI development. This includes two of the three who shared the Turing prize for inventing the fundamentals of modern AI. That hasn't slowed us down at all.

Glad I missed it before bedtime! Watched it in the morning, absolutely spot on, thank you! We’re doomed indeed.
