It’s possible of course. But Starlink satellites orbit at around 500 km and LEO ends at 2000km. It requires a significant amount of energy to push things from 500km high out of LEO. And even if debris flies out of LEO it will still come down to lower orbits and get affected by drag since it doesn’t orbit in a perfect circle. If the debris hits satellites in higher orbit it will most likely be satellites that are in LEO as well and thus still be affected by orbital decay. The higher things are in LEO the longer it takes to come down, but it’s still not forever.
Not likely. It needs an overwhelming amount of data about that topic to ignore user prompts and only talk about white genocide. Like it needs to be the vast majority of the total training data. This is just Musk panicking and he ordered the grok staff to influence the model to make it less “woke”, since grok started providing factual unbiased information when people asked about the situation in SA. It’s basically impossible to that quickly since you need a massive team of people that creates prompts all day and tells the model that the answer is to their liking or not. Hence the model went haywire, since they did a quick “fix”.
