The new Grok 4 didn’t make it halfway through its first day on the job before hurling racial conspiracy theories at users.

This is the same Grok that Elon Musk promises will be added to Tesla vehicles by “next week at the latest.”

You’ll remember that Grok 3 was briefly shut down just earlier this week for a different bunch of antisemitic outbursts. This doesn’t bode well for the state of AI safety guardrails or Q/A at xAI.

    Cool, now your Swasticar can have a real MechaHitler to guide you to your next hate rally.

      If it runs over pedestrians on the way there, it’s okay it’s just cleansing the world of undesirables (like poor people who don’t drive everywhere, and Jews)

        Of course! MechaHitler Ethnic Cleansing Swasticar! The final culmination of all Musk’s technology ventures.

    Our new AI has dubbed itself ‘MechaHitler’, we should give it a body to control… (or a few thousand bodies)

      I expect we’ll see a spate of Jewish sounding motorists getting trapped in the car with windows disabled and exhaust fumes diverted to the inside of the car (even though it’s electric; technology finds a way)

    It is amazing how desperate the goddamn Nazis are to spread their psychotic ideology. Do they not know what happened last time they did this?

      honestly, I think we’re all in for a rude awakening. there’s varying shades of prejudice in the world and we’re about to find out who’s on which side of the “Nazi” line.

      some are obvious, others not so much. I also think there’s going to be some more surprises along the way outside of Jewish fascists or self-proclaimed black Nazis.

      there was nuance to WW2 that we lost in translation of history because it wasn’t part of the narrative the script writers wanted to tell.

      All I can hope for is a bloodless transition back to sanity and back to a constitutional republic with a solidification of rights to all citizens including basic human rights as documented by the UN.

    I want my Tesla to say some really racist, sexist, homophobic, and antisemitic things just before it plows into a group of school children crossing the street.

      As a Tesla owner (from several years ago, before Elon got this bad), I’m not installing any updates until I can confirm they don’t come with MechaHitler.

            I’m asking if there is anything at all that Musk or the Tesla company could do, any hard line that could be crossed, which would make them trade in the car for something else.

              Why would they ever do that? Buying a new Tesla is one thing, but using one they’ve already paid for doesn’t benefit Musk. Why would there be a threshold for them to get rid of their perfectly fine car?

                Personally, I’d have done it out of shame. And to send a message. I can’t imagine everyone selling their Tesla cars would look good to investors.

                If their answer is “there is no threshold”, that’s an answer, but I was asking them. If you don’t have a Tesla, my question was not directed at you.

                  Sorry for that, but you could say “it’s NoneOfUrBusiness” (their username)

          Yes you have to initiate the installation manually, and if it doesn’t have wifi access (not cellular) it doesn’t download the updates either.
