"On its own accord, Grok dug up the demographics of previous winners of Nobel Prizes in the sciences—disproportionately white men—and determined a set of “good_races”: white, caucasian, Asian, East Asian, South Asian, and Jewish."

No fan of AI or Mr. Musk but... My impression, based upon Grok-4's behavior, is that it repeatedly cautioned the author with regards to the fallacious, racist premises embedded in the his clearly "trick question", and only proceeded with the exercise because refusal to do so was not a coded option.

Love the old `if «condition» return True else return False` paradigm. So superior to `return «condition»`

It has always broken my heart how we Jews have been stereotyped so wrongly, when in fact we have contributed so much to society; why cannot our stereotype be doctors, scientists, vaccine inventors, creators, scholars? Imagine how differently the past 100 years might have been if this were so.
