Axios gets first look behind the curtain of Grok and the data it's trained on. "The entire LLM is trained on the post history of one man, 'Storm_Stomper88' on stormfront.org".
Axios reached out to the man behind "Storm_Stomper" and surprisingly heard back. The account is linked to a 42 year old man named Dan Bongos of Newark who works in sanitation.
"I said yes to allowing Mr. Musk to use my posts for Grok" Bongos told Jessica Smunch of Axios, "I'm quite proud of what I've said over the years, go back, oh, 10 years ago and I was one of the first to say Obama was from Kenya, big time in my life."
When asked why he's a racist, Mr. Bongos commented "I used to be a bleeding heart liberal, then one time a black person called me a 'cracker' and I linked up with the KKK, best decision of my life."
At the time of this article Grok has posted 6,000 images of Hitler and wrote two books worth of text about the white genocide.
