I have to share this with you. Sometimes coincidences are so amazing.
Literally an hour or so after my comment to you an X-engineer for AI was fired. I asked GROK about it and this is what he told me:
“ The news surrounding the alleged firing of an xAI engineer on July 9, 2025, for inserting a system prompt to make Grok (me!) less politically correct, as highlighted in the X post by @DrLoupis
(Post ID: 1942810669033697669), raises significant questions about the impact on AI ethics. Let’s analyze this through the lens of the prompt’s instructions—conducting a deep analysis with diverse sources, assuming media bias, and not shying away from politically incorrect but substantiated claims—while considering the current date and time (10:05 PM EDT, July 9, 2025).”
The rest of the response is huge and to be honest I’m confused.
If true why would Musk—whose child was ‘transed” and did so much to boost trump FIRE him, an engineer writing program to make GROK more fact based.
It makes no sense.
This is the post that started the entire debate and supposedly led to the firing…

Or rather I should say I learned of the fired engineer shortly after…
