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.

I'm imagining a montage of the prototypes all destroying themselves in elaborate ways like that bit in Robocop 2.

As a moderator of fuck_ai, I'm against all ai existing. As a human being with a functional brain, I'm against cybertrucks existing.

So I'm torn.
