What's an actually non-tinfoil hat technical explanation of the workflow that would have to happen for this to be implemented?

Elon is known for his capricious demands, (for example reports that he made the algo promote his own tweets more) how easily feasible is it to implement, "make it so Grok stops denying white genocide"? Is it just some kind of LORA you put on top of the base Grok model? It even sounds like it could be as simple as changing the text of the system prompt.

I wonder how often this happens (to any big model) without anyone noticing.

It's clearly a ham-handed system prompt, so it's always in context which is why it keeps getting brought up. This is the level of engineering expertise that xAI brings to the table.

Most americans are generally uninformed on international politics, with African even more so. But we all know a certain CEO who is from South Africa and has some far right beleifs about race.

Elon trying to amp white genocide.

Would they go to all the work of making a newly trained model, or would they just edit the system prompt?
