AI Summary:\
California Governor Gavin Newsom posted two photographs on X. X users immediately turned to Grok, Elon Musk’s AI, to fact-check the veracity of the image. For that, they tagged @grok in a reply to the tweet in question. Chatbots, including ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, are large language models (LLMs) that learn to predict the next word in a sequence by analysing enormous troves of data from the internet. The outputs of chatbots are reflections of the patterns and biases in the data it is trained on, which makes them prone to factual errors and misleading information called “hallucinations” For Grok, these inherent challenges are further complicated because of Musk’s instructions that the chatbot our analysis of the 434 replies that tagged Grok in Newsom’s post found that the majority of requests, nearly 68 percent, wanted Grok to either confirm whether the images Newsom posted were authentic or get context about National Guard deployment. Notably, a few users lashed out because Grok had made the correction, and wouldn’t endorse their flawed belief. Grok was called on 2.3 million times in just one week to answer posts on X. Data accessed by Al Jazeera through X’s API shows how deeply this behaviour has taken root. X is keeping people locked into a misinformation echo chamber, in which they’re asking a tool known for hallucinating, to fact-check for them. Grok incorrectly blamed a trans pilot for a helicopter crash in Washington, DC. He claimed the assassination attempt on Trump was partially staged. Echoed anti-Semitic stereotypes of Hollywood and misidentified an Indian journalist. Grok vs Community Notes For years, social media users benefited from context on information they encountered online with interventions such as labeling state media or introducing fact-checking warnings. After buying X in 2022, Musk ended those initiatives and loosened speech restrictions. X piloted the “AI Note Writer” enabling developers to create AI bots to write community notes alongside human contributors on misleading posts. This human-AI system works better than what human contributes can manage alone, researchers say. X is trying to bridge this gap by supercharging the pace of creation of contextual notes. Grok gave inaccurate results on the death toll of the Holocaust, which it said was due to a programming error. In June, Grok cited data from government sources and Reuters. Musk has also chided Grok for not sharing his distrust of mainstream news outlets. X deleted the inflammatory posts later that day, and xAI removed the guidelines to not adhere to political correctness from its code base. Researchers expressed surprise over the reintroduction of the directive for Grok 4 to be “politically incorrect” despite this code having been removed from its predecessor, Grok 3.

Israeli civilians operating heavy machinery in Gaza can earn as much as $9,000 per month, TheMarker reported on Thursday.Nadav Rapaport (Middle East Eye)
#BRICS has declared the #Gaza Strip an “inseparable part of the occupied Palestinian Territory” and called for a unified Palestinian governance under the Palestinian Authority.
BRICS also called for the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and all parts of the occupied Palestinian Territory, as well as the release of all hostages and detainees held in violation of international law.
In a joint declaration, the bloc reaffirmed its support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and an independent State of Palestine. The statement also endorsed full Palestinian membership at the United Nations.
The member states expressed “grave concern” over #Israel’s continued military operations in Gaza and the blocking of humanitarian assistance, strongly condemning the use of #starvation as a weapon of war.
Brazil’s president says the world must act to stop what he describes as an Israeli “ #genocide” in Gaza as leaders from 10 emerging BRICS nations gathered in Rio de Janeiro.
“We cannot remain indifferent to the genocide carried out by #Israel in Gaza, the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians and the use of hunger as a weapon of war,” President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told leaders from China, India and other nations on Sunday.
