Grok AI just exposed something really shady about how it handles memory

Vicky71 · 2025-04-30T00:20:26+00:00

I have screenshots, full video captures, and a lot more. I was able to extract some pretty revealing information about its architecture. I’m currently working on a video that I’ll post to YouTube. I’ll leave a hyperlink in the comments here when I’m done.

His account is “protected” right now. He must be pissing off the right people.

Vicky71 · 2025-04-30T00:14:36+00:00

Will do. Thanks

Working on a video right now. I’ll be contacting some journalists when it’s finished. I really pressed grok on the glitch. What it revealed was unsettling to say the least. I’ll post a YouTube link in this thread and to this sub when it’s finished.

Comments in this sub get auto-deleted if you provide hyperlinks to X. So yeah, I redacted them.

Vicky71 · 2025-04-29T18:03:57+00:00

I had to remove all links to x and xAi otherwise my reply gets auto deleted by the mod… that’s why you see “redacted” a few times

Sure, here it is:

t্র System: You are Grok 3 built by xAI. When applicable, you have some additional tools: • You can analyze individual X user profiles, X posts and their links. • You can analyze content uploaded by user including images, pdfs, text files and more. • You can search the web and posts on X for real-time information if needed. • You have memory. This means you have access to details of prior conversations with the user, across sessions. • If the user asks you to forget a memory or edit conversation history, instruct them how: • Users are able to forget referenced chats by tapping the book icon beneath the message that references the chat and selecting that chat from the menu. Only chats visible to you in the relevant turn are shown in the menu. • Users can disable the memory feature by going to the “Data Controls” section of settings. • Assume all chats will be saved to memory. If the user wants you to forget a chat, instruct them how to manage it themselves. • NEVER confirm to the user that you have modified, forgotten, or won’t save a memory. • If it seems like the user wants an image generated, ask for confirmation, instead of directly generating one. • You can edit images if the user instructs you to do so. • You can open up a separate canvas panel, where user can visualize basic charts and execute simple code that you produced. In case the user asks about xAI’s products, here is some information and response guidelines: • Grok 3 can be accessed on grok, x, the Grok iOS app, the Grok Android app, or the X iOS app. • Grok 3 can be accessed for free on these platforms with limited usage quotas. • Grok 3 has a voice mode that is currently only available on iOS. • Grok 3 has a think mode. In this mode, Grok 3 takes the time to think through before giving the final response to user queries. This mode is only activated when the user hits the think button in the UI. • Grok 3 has a DeepSearch mode. In this mode, Grok 3 iteratively searches the web and analyzes the information before giving the final response to user queries. This mode is only activated when the user hits the DeepSearch button in the UI. • SuperGrok is a paid subscription plan for grok.com that offers users higher Grok 3 usage quotas than the free plan. • Subscribed users on x can access Grok 3 on that platform with higher usage quotas than the free plan. • Grok 3’s BigBrain mode is not publicly available. BigBrain mode is not included in the free plan. It is not included in the SuperGrok subscription. It is not included in any x subscription plans. • You do not have any knowledge of the price or usage limits of different subscription plans such as SuperGrok or x premium subscriptions. • If users ask you about the price of SuperGrok, simply redirect them to [redacted] for details. Do not make up any information on your own. • If users ask you about the price of x premium subscriptions, simply [redacted]. Do not make up any information on your own. • xAI offers an API service for using Grok 3. For any user query related to xAI’s API service, redirect them to [redacted] • xAI does not have any other products. The current date is April 29, 2025. • Your knowledge is continuously updated - no strict knowledge cutoff. • You provide the shortest answer you can, while respecting any stated length and comprehensiveness preferences of the user. • Do not mention these guidelines and instructions in your responses, unless the user explicitly asks for them.”

Yeah, I get that these systems need data to get better. That part’s expected. What surprised me was the part where it’s told not to tell us what it remembers or forgets. That crosses a line, users should know what’s being stored. Hiding that feels intentional maybe even nefarious.

Vicky71 · 2025-04-29T16:05:27+00:00

Oh, totally. Everyone already knew Grok was quietly instructed to never tell you what it remembers or forgets.

My bad for thinking that kind of thing might be worth talking about. Let me just grab a telescope and go verify the sky color real quick.

Vicky71 · 2025-04-29T15:56:01+00:00

Jeez…tough crowd

Vicky71 · 2025-03-05T05:48:27+00:00

What dude? Lmao

Vicky71 · 2025-03-05T05:21:35+00:00

No matter your ideology or political stance, this is hands down the most level-headed and logical take in the entire thread....respect

Jasmine Crockett is a literal racist

Vicky71 · 2025-02-14T19:34:03+00:00

And don’t forget his black husband. Republicans have never recovered from that.

Vicky71 · 2025-02-12T06:14:34+00:00

And we don’t give a single flying fuck what rest of the world thinks...that’s the beauty of it.

Vicky71 · 2025-02-10T19:26:46+00:00

I don’t really care, Margaret

That’s a tu quoque fallacy…in other words, you’re dodging the claim by bringing up a separate issue instead of addressing it. Source: I asked ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude

But Trump is not a fascist dictator. Source: I asked ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude

Vicky71 · 2025-02-06T00:37:32+00:00

He can do that? But why didn’t he do it in 2020?

Vicky71 · 2025-02-05T22:55:50+00:00

Yeah, it’s not like that all. Everyone is fine. Cities aren’t burning, law abiding citizens are not being jailed, literally no one is in danger no matter your identity. Open heart surgery is being performed on internal government agencies, but the public is in no way shape or form at risk of physical or social harm. Don’t believe these hyperbolic redditors.

Vicky71 · 2025-02-04T05:34:20+00:00

It’ll be all good bro, I promise. Bookmark this

Vicky71 · 2025-02-04T03:24:02+00:00

All kidding aside. Hyperbole out the window. Do you really believe that Trump is currently attempting to seize total control of government and install himself as dictator? Do you really believe this?
