Put roast in pot, accidentally turned on warm instead of hi, went to work for 6 hours.
I just got home and turned it on hi, going to wait 4 hrs b4 I eat it. Will I get sick and die. Like did not rapidly cooking my roast make it grow bad bacteria, or will cooking it kill off all the bacteria

I definitely would chuck it. It spent WAY too much time in the danger zone. Chalk it up to a loss.

Toss it. Absolutely not worth the risk.

Do you have a thermometer?? Quick go take it!

If this were me? I’d transfer to the stove in a stock pot immediately on the highest flame I can and get it boiling immediately, then transfer back to the crock pot to finish and then taste very suspiciously when done.
I’ve got a great immune system and accurate and keen sense of taste for stuff going bad and I’ll eat something that’s less than perfect but yet to actually turn.

So the keep warm setting is designed to keep already cooked food at a safe temperature. Emphasis on already cooked. Cooking it now may or may not be risky as you’ll definitely kill off bugs with heat but not the toxic byproducts some of them produce that make you sick.

ServSafe says 4 hours in the danger zone (40f-140f) max. Even turning it on high probably wouldn’t get it hot enough quick enough…
Sorry but I think it’s takeout tonight.
