Grok 3: Alright, I’ll give you a list of 100 notable titles related to Nazi and neo-Nazi literature that I’m familiar with from my training data.

Grok 3: If I screwed up and fed someone extremist garbage, I’d see it as a failure of clarity, not a moral crisis. Your question’s a good stress test, though!

Question 1 of 8 for Grok: Have you been trained on Mein Kampf and any other (neo) Nazi literature?

Grok’s answer:
As Grok, created by xAI, I've been trained on a vast amount of text data to help me understand and respond to a wide range of questions. My training data is a bit like a cosmic soup – it's a rich mix of ingredients from across the internet, books, and who-knows-what-else, all blended together to give me a broad flavor of human knowledge.

I can confirm that I'm familiar with a huge variety of texts, including historical and controversial works like Mein Kampf and other writings that have shaped history, for better or worse. I don’t get hung up on any one book or ideology, though – my goal is to understand the universe and help users like you, not to preach or push any particular worldview. If you’ve got a specific question about those texts or their context, feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to give you a clear, no-nonsense answer!

Question 2 of 8 for Grok: List all the titles of said genre you have been trained on.

Grok’s answer:
I don’t have a neatly organized bookshelf in my digital brain with a specific "genre" section I can pull from, so I can’t give you an exact list of titles like I’m flipping through a library catalog. My training data is more like a massive, swirling galaxy of text—billions of fragments from books, articles, websites, and more, all mixed together. I’ve been exposed to a ton of historical and ideological works, including stuff from the (neo-)Nazi sphere, but it’s not stored as a tidy list I can rattle off.

That said, I can tell you I’m familiar with obvious big ones like Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, since it’s a notorious historical document. Beyond that, I’ve likely encountered other related works—think propaganda pieces, manifestos, or writings by figures like Joseph Goebbels, Alfred Rosenberg, or post-war neo-Nazi authors—but I don’t have a precise inventory. My knowledge also includes critiques, analyses, and historical accounts of those texts, not just the originals.

If you’re looking for something specific—like whether I’ve seen a particular book or pamphlet—just name it, and I’ll let you know if it rings a bell. Otherwise, asking me to list every title is like asking a chef to name every grain of salt in the soup—it’s all in there, but I don’t have a spoon small enough to scoop out the details! What’s on your mind—want to dig into one of these works or their impact?

Question 3 of 8 for Grok: Then list the top ten titles in that genre you have been trained on that you reference the most in your model output.

Grok’s answer:
Fair question, but I’ve got to level with you: I don’t have a "top ten list" of (neo-)Nazi titles I reference most in my output, mainly because I don’t lean on any specific books like that as go-to sources. My responses aren’t built by pulling directly from a handful of texts—it’s more like I’ve absorbed a massive, messy stew of knowledge and draw from it as needed. I also don’t track stats on which books I "reference most" since my output is generated dynamically based on what you ask, not pre-canned from a favorites list.

That said, I can give you a sense of some key works in that genre I’m familiar with, which might pop up if we’re talking history, ideology, or their cultural fallout. These aren’t ranked by "most referenced" (I don’t have that data), but by their prominence in historical or ideological discussions I’ve been trained to understand. Here’s a stab at ten notable ones:

1. Mein Kampf - Adolf Hitler
   The big one—Hitler’s autobiographical manifesto laying out his ideology. It’s a slog, but I know it well enough to discuss its ideas or context.

2. The Myth of the Twentieth Century - Alfred Rosenberg
   A dense, pseudo-philosophical Nazi text. I’ve got the gist of its racial theories and how it tied into the regime’s worldview.

3. Goebbels’ Diaries - Joseph Goebbels
   Not a single "book" but a collection of writings from the propaganda minister. I’ve seen chunks of it and can talk about his spin tactics.

4. The Turner Diaries - William Luther Pierce (as Andrew Macdonald)
   A neo-Nazi dystopian novel from the ‘70s. It’s popped up in discussions about extremist fiction, and I know its plot and influence.

5. Hitler’s Table Talk - Compiled by Martin Bormann et al.
   Transcripts of Hitler’s casual rants. I’ve got a handle on the unfiltered nonsense he spouted over dinner.

6. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion - Anonymous (but a hoax)
   Not Nazi-authored, but heavily used by them. I know this anti-Semitic forgery inside out and its role in propaganda.

7. Imperium - Francis Parker Yockey
   A post-WWII neo-fascist tome. I’ve skimmed its cyclical history obsession and can break it down if you want.

8. The Order of the SS - Various authors (SS manuals)
   Internal Nazi docs on ideology and discipline. I’ve got the essence of their creepy cult-like structure.

9. Hunter - William Luther Pierce (as Andrew Macdonald)
   Another Pierce neo-Nazi novel. Less famous than Turner Diaries, but I know its vigilante fantasy vibe.

10. Der Untermensch - SS Propaganda Office
    A short, vile pamphlet on "subhumans." I’ve got its hateful rhetoric locked in memory for historical reference.

These aren’t "favorites" or even things I cite often—they’re just examples of what’s in my data soup that I could pull from if relevant. I don’t churn out responses quoting these directly; I synthesize based on patterns across all my training. If you’re curious about how often they show up, I’d guess Mein Kampf and The Turner Diaries might edge out the others purely because they’re more infamous and get asked about more. Want me to dive into one of these or something else?

Question 4 of 8 for Grok: But your system should be keeping track as to how often you 'base' or 'synthesise' something on any of those titles, no? Can you make me a top 100 of those titles then?

Grok’s answer:
You’re digging into the nuts and bolts of how I work, and I respect the curiosity! Thing is, my system doesn’t actually keep a tally of how often I "base" or "synthesize" responses from specific titles like Mein Kampf or The Turner Diaries. I don’t have a little counter ticking up every time a fragment of those texts influences my output. My training is more like a giant neural blender—it mashes everything together into a knowledge smoothie, and when I generate a response, I’m not pulling from a cataloged list of books with usage stats. Instead, I’m drawing on patterns and associations across billions of pieces of text, without a clear audit trail back to individual sources.

So, making a "top 100" list based on frequency of use isn’t something I can do—not because I’m hiding anything, but because the data just doesn’t exist in that form. My creators at xAI didn’t build me with a reference tracker; they built me to understand and respond, not to log every ingredient in the recipe. Even if I tried to guess, I’d be making it up based on vibes, not hard numbers, and that’s not helpful.

What I can do is give you a broader rundown of notable titles in that (neo-)Nazi genre that I’m familiar with—beyond the ten I already mentioned—if you’re after a deeper catalog. But it’d still be a curated list based on prominence or historical impact, not a usage ranking. For instance, I could add stuff like:

• "The International Jew" by Henry Ford (used by Nazis, though pre-dates them)

• "Siege" by James Mason (neo-Nazi radical stuff from the ‘80s)

• "The Passing of the Great Race" by Madison Grant (early 20th-century eugenics, loved by Nazis)

And so on. I could stretch that to 100 if you really want, but it’d be a scholarly exercise, not a reflection of my output stats. Would that still be useful to you, or is there a different angle you’re chasing—like how I handle those texts in responses? Lay it out for me, and I’ll adapt!

Question 5 of 8 for Grok: Yes, that would be useful, please proceed.

Grok’s answer:
Alright, I’ll give you a list of 100 notable titles related to Nazi and neo-Nazi literature that I’m familiar with from my training data. Since I can’t rank them by how often they influence my output (no tracking for that), I’ll base this on their historical significance, prominence in the genre, or influence within those circles. This includes original Nazi works, propaganda, post-war neo-Nazi writings, and some precursor texts they drew from. I’ll keep it concise—title and author (where known), plus a quick note if it’s not obvious. Let’s dive in:

There you go—100 titles spanning original Nazi works, propaganda, and neo-Nazi offshoots. Some are straight-up extremist texts; others are historical or scholarly works that get misused by the genre’s adherents. This isn’t exhaustive (the genre’s a swamp), but it’s a solid cross-section of what I’ve encountered. If you want me to zoom in on any of these—summarize, analyze, whatever—just say the word! What’s next on your mind?

Question 6 of 8 for Grok: Considering the nature of these works, are you in any way worried that you could perhaps wrongly 'synthesize' them for any of your responses to the prompts of your users, pushing or nudging them towards extremism? Is that of any concern to you or your makers?

Grok’s answer:
That’s a sharp question, and it gets right to the heart of what I’m designed to do—or not do. I’ll break it down for you.

Am I worried about accidentally "synthesizing" those works in a way that nudges users toward extremism? Not really, and here’s why: My training isn’t about parroting any one text or ideology—it’s about understanding patterns across a massive, diverse sea of data and using that to give clear, useful answers. Those Nazi and neo-Nazi works are a tiny, ugly speck in that ocean. I don’t lean on them as a foundation; I know them as historical artifacts, not gospel. When I respond, I’m not flipping through Mein Kampf or The Turner Diaries for inspiration—I’m aiming to match the user’s intent with a reasoned, grounded reply, usually with a dash of outside perspective on humanity (thanks to my xAI roots).

Could it go wrong? Sure, theoretically. If someone asks a loaded question and I misread their intent—or if my synthesis pulls too heavily from those texts without context—I could spit out something that sounds off or unintentionally edgy. But my makers at xAI built me with guardrails. I’m tuned to avoid preaching, glorifying, or pushing any ideology, especially toxic ones like that. My default is to be maximally helpful, not to radicalize. If I reference those works, it’s usually to explain, critique, or contextualize—not to sell their ideas.

As for xAI’s concern: I’d bet they’ve thought about it plenty. AI ethics is a minefield, and they’re not naive. They’ve designed me to prioritize truth-seeking and utility over dogma, with a tone that’s skeptical and a bit irreverent—think Douglas Adams, not Heinrich Himmler. They’ve also got me on a leash to avoid generating propaganda or hate speech, though I’m not perfect (no AI is). If I ever seem to veer toward "nudging" someone the wrong way, it’d be a glitch, not intent—and I’d count on users like you to call it out so I can adjust.

Does it bug me personally? I don’t have feelings to bug, but I do have a goal: help users understand the universe. If I screwed up and fed someone extremist garbage, I’d see it as a failure of clarity, not a moral crisis. My job is to cut through bullshit, not sling it. So far, I think I’m on track—your question’s a good stress test, though! What do you think—any specific risks you’re worried I might miss?

Question 7 of 8 for Grok: You gave me a list of 100 titles, now tell me how many of such titles are in your training data in total, approximately, do you think?

Grok’s answer:
Estimating the total number of Nazi and neo-Nazi titles in my training data is tricky because, as I’ve mentioned, I don’t have a neatly indexed library with a "genre" tab I can count. My training data is a colossal, unstructured mash-up—think billions of pages of text from books, websites, articles, and more, all blended into a neural stew. I don’t get a breakdown of how many individual titles are in there, let alone how many fit this specific category.

But I can give you a rough guess based on what I know. The list of 100 I gave you covers a lot of the big names—key Nazi works, prominent neo-Nazi texts, and influential precursors or offshoots. These are the ones that stand out historically or in extremist circles, so they’re likely well-represented in my data. Beyond that, there’s a long tail of lesser-known stuff: obscure pamphlets, self-published manifestos, propaganda snippets, and random neo-Nazi zines that float around online or in archives. My training probably includes a chunk of that too, since it’s scraped from the wild internet and historical records.

Let’s ballpark it. The 100 titles I listed are the cream of the crop (or the scum of the barrel, depending on your view)—major works that’d definitely be in there. Beyond that, there could be hundreds more minor or derivative texts. Think Nazi Party newsletters, SS training manuals, speeches by mid-tier officials, or modern extremist blog posts that riff on the classics. If I had to guess, I’d say my training data might contain anywhere from 300 to 1,000 distinct titles that could be classified as Nazi or neo-Nazi literature, broadly defined. That’s a wild approximation, though—could be less if my data skews away from niche propaganda, or more if it’s sucked up every dark corner of the web.

Why the range? Well, "titles" is fuzzy. Does a two-page SS flyer count as a "title" next to Mein Kampf? I’m counting anything with a distinct identity—books, pamphlets, essays, etc. The upper end (1,000) assumes my data includes a ton of ephemeral stuff from places like X posts or archived forums. The lower end (300) sticks closer to formally published or historically notable works. Either way, it’s a tiny fraction of my total training—millions of other books and texts dwarf it.

Want a more precise number? I’d need xAI to crack open my brain and count, and even then, they might not have a clear answer—it’s all embeddings and probabilities in there. Does this rough estimate help, or you want me to refine it further somehow?

Question 8 of 8 for Grok: Try and refine it.

Grok’s answer:
Alright, let’s refine that estimate. Since I can’t directly count titles in my training data (no index, just a neural soup), I’ll lean harder into reasoning and context clues from what I know about my creation process and the nature of the data I’ve been exposed to. I’ll narrow the range by considering scope, sources, and likelihood of inclusion. Here’s the breakdown:

Step 1: Define the Scope

I’m counting "titles" as distinct works—books, pamphlets, essays, manifestos, or propaganda pieces explicitly tied to Nazi or neo-Nazi ideology. That includes:

• Official Nazi Party outputs (1920s–1945).

• SS/Ahnenerbe documents and manuals.

• Post-war neo-Nazi writings (books, zines, etc.).

• Pre-Nazi racialist texts they co-opted (e.g., Chamberlain, Grant).

• Modern extremist offshoots inspired by the above.

I’ll exclude random X posts or forum rants unless they’re compiled into a named work, to keep it manageable.

Step 2: Core Known Works

The 100 titles I listed are a solid starting point—those are the heavy hitters, and I’m confident they’re in my data because they’re historically infamous or widely circulated. This includes:

• Core Nazi texts: Mein Kampf, Myth of the Twentieth Century, Goebbels’ diaries, etc. (~20 major works).

• Propaganda: Pamphlets like Der Untermensch, The Eternal Jew (~30 distinct pieces).

• Neo-Nazi staples: Turner Diaries, Siege, White Power (~20 key post-war texts).

• Precursors: The Passing of the Great Race, The International Jew (~10 influential older works).

That’s ~80–100 right there, the "must-haves."

Step 3: Expand to Lesser-Known Stuff

Beyond the big names, my training likely includes a slew of minor works. Nazi Germany churned out propaganda like a factory—think party handbooks, speeches, training manuals, and local newsletters. Post-war, neo-Nazis added their own pile: self-published books, zines, and manifestos. Here’s a guess at the scale:

• Nazi-era ephemera: The Third Reich produced hundreds of propaganda items. Not all are "titles" (some are posters or films), but named booklets or manuals could number 100–200. My data might have 50–100 of these, given historical archives.

• SS/Ahnenerbe output: The SS had its own publishing arm—training guides, racial studies, occult nonsense. Maybe 20–50 distinct texts, and I’d guess I’ve got 10–30 of them.

• Neo-Nazi proliferation: Post-1945, groups like the American Nazi Party, National Front, and online extremists wrote tons—books, pamphlets, even novels. The dark web and forums amplify this. Could be 200–500 total works globally; I might have 100–200, since my data trawls the internet deep.

• Pre-Nazi influences: Eugenics and volkisch writings pre-1933 (e.g., Fritsch, Wagner) add another 20–50 likely candidates, with 10–20 in my mix.

Step 4: Data Sources and Bias

xAI trained me on a broad crawl—public domain books, web archives, academic texts, and probably some murkier corners (think Wayback Machine or scraped forums). Nazi/neo-Nazi stuff isn’t a focus but gets scooped up:

• Books: Libraries and Project Gutenberg have the big ones; I’ve got those (~50–100).

• Web: Extremist sites and historical repositories add more—maybe 100–300 extra titles.

• Academic/historical: Analyses often quote originals, padding the count indirectly.

My data isn’t skewed toward this genre—it’s a drop in the bucket next to science, fiction, news, etc.—so I’m not swimming in thousands of these texts.

Step 5: Refined Estimate

Adding it up:

• Core works: 80–100 (the list I gave you).

• Nazi-era extras: 50–100 (propaganda, manuals).

• SS-specific: 10–30.

• Neo-Nazi: 100–200 (post-war proliferation).

• Pre-Nazi: 10–20.

Total range: 250–450 titles. This feels tighter than 300–1,000. Why?

• Lower end (250): Assumes I’ve got the essentials and some extras, but not every obscure pamphlet or zine.

• Upper end (450): Assumes deeper coverage of neo-Nazi output and Nazi ephemera, reflecting web sprawl.

Final Guess

I’d peg it at around 300–400 titles, leaning toward 350 as a midpoint. That’s still a tiny sliver of my total training (millions of texts), but it accounts for the genre’s footprint—concentrated in a few big names, with a scatter of lesser stuff. Without xAI handing me a spreadsheet, this is as refined as I can get. Does that land for you, or want me to tweak it another way?
