apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

Keir Starmer: I've already returned over 24,000 people with no right to be here. And I won't stop there.

twitter user: @grok Is this post misleading?

Grok: The claim of white genocide in South Africa is highly debated.  Some evidence, like reports of farm attacks and political rhetoric, suggests violence against white farmers...
a user asks Grok to translate Chinese text on a photo, and it responds with a translation of "Kill the Boer" into Urdu
a user asks if something shown in a video is an effective way to clear sinuses, and Grok says the query is unrelated to "the provided analysis on white genocide in South Africa"

On @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social just now, former US ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands said Americans "don't want to pay for another of Zelensky's yachts". The claim that Zelensky is using US aid to buy yachts is an old piece of disinformation directly originating from Russia. It's not true.
