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.

Some new trend of Elon Bullit. Why?

So... ok what the hell is wrong with the guy? I mean surely he knows grok 4 was not a success after it was pulled offline. What's next, is he going to push over the "unscheduled rapid unassembly" from failed spacex rockets?

He wants to leave the planet anyway, so why not mess it up terribly before...

Another masterful excuse to keep my relationship status with Tesla at ‘it’s complicated.

For me, this is making things much much less nuanced.
