Not even a single full day into operation, and the new Grok 4 is hurling racist conspiracy theories at users.

According to Elon Musk, no later than next week, it will be added to Tesla vehicles.

Swastikar, now with Mecha Hitler.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes, nothing could go wrong by giving MechaHitler mobility...

[–] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 9 points 6 days ago

Noooo! He is gonna drive straight through Poland into Russia in winter, and then run out of power!

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

Every day I am so glad that 8 years ago I decided not to buy a Tesla.

[–] frenchfryenjoyer 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Imagining a Cybertruck going apeshit yelling about praising Hitler because it disagreed with the driver and crashing into a ditch 😂 😭

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Exactly the feature I was looking for on a new car.

Imagine the joys of commuting through rush hour with an insane, racist, conspiracy theory obsessed talking machine every day for the rest of your life.

It's like a fever dream

It's like a dream.

[–] Part4@infosec.pub 6 points 6 days ago

I think he has actually found a way to make the cyber truck even shitter, which feels like some sort of weird achievement.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Oh and I hope Tesla stocks go down even more!

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 days ago

Still can't actually drive it's self like he has been promising for over a decade. Musk will never deliver.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

If someone bought a cyber-truck without the Grock, they bought it as it was. Shoving Grock down the consumers' throats without their consent would constitute a material alteration of tge car that was originally bought. This would then constitute graffiti.

Edit: if the vehicle had not been fully purchased and paid, this would be potential grounds for a refund because the material alteration of the good would make the contract for the sale of the vehicle voidable.

[–] last_philosopher@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

What does this even mean? If you have a phone in your tesla, you already have grok in a tesla vehicle. Amazing how the Media-Tesla-hype complex works.

[–] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 3 points 6 days ago

Saving the environment with electric car to later add an energy guzzling racist chat bot to the front panel. /nottheonion?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I can't even get a PRD approved in a week...

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 2 points 6 days ago

If Grok is targeting Jews or any specific ethnicity, maybe not let it out in the road?

If it just runs over people by random, well that's a different matter.

[–] SidTheShuckle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My dad fsr wont ever unlease his tesla, he doesnt care

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn't normally ask this in any other context, but: is it possible your dad hates the Jews?

[–] KayLeadfoot@fedia.io 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm... very sad at how germane that question is in 2025.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] KayLeadfoot@fedia.io 3 points 6 days ago

As I typed it I read it and I was like "do I shoot my shot and make the joke?" and I had a rare moment of self-restraint

But Grok would be like "you had me at 𝔤𝔢𝔯𝔪𝔞𝔫"

[–] besselj@lemmy.ca 144 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Imagine asking it for directions and it starts talking about white genocide in South Africa, lmao

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 87 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Worse, it figures out the driver isn't white and forces them into oncoming traffic.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or starts running over non-white pedestrians

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Oh, so that's why they insisted on vision-only! LiDAR isn't racist enough

I was thinking it only lets you "turn to the right". No left turns allowed.

Tesla owner: "I don't care about politics, I just like the car. I'm not a bad person!"

car is in the background screaming, "Jews will not replace us!!"

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 72 points 1 week ago (14 children)

Literally why would anyone want that. Even racist elon musk lovers. Why would anyone want their car to have an LLM.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

What do you mean? Isn't it a match made in ~~heaven~~ hell ? Getting praisal of Adolf Hitler and receiving antisemitic comments while driving a sawasticar /s

[–] besselj@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My guess is that some hardcore Musk followers must be very lonely at this point, so much so that they prefer talking to chatbots.

Bad day to be a jewish Telsa driver.

[–] brrk@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Thanks for the chuckle, that got me good. I just imagined an old Jewish man groaning "Oy vey..." after starting his car and seeing a greeting message along the lines of "HI! I'm MECHA-Hitler, your new onboard Ai assistant!"

(It's a surreal dark-humor chuckle, not an antisemitic chuckle, just to clarify, since this is the internet...)

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Don’t worry, on the internet you’re only antisemitic if you oppose the genocide in Gaza.

/s

[–] brrk@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 days ago

Good thing no one knows I'm secretly a dog

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's really leaning into the Swasticar thing isn't he?

Grok reveals cause of latest Tesla FSD crash

[–] T156@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Very confused about what the point of this would be. People don't use their cars enough to justify having something like that installed, and it seems like it would just make things more expensive for xAI for not much benefit at all.

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago (2 children)

My guess is to give a better experience looking for things while driving. Like restaurants, current movies in theaters etc. Just like how everyone uses ChatGPT vs. Google. Not sure if I'll use it frankly but I'll see when I get it.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It won't make anything better. You can't throw a shitty AI chatbot at a shitty touch UI and expect the shitty touch UI to magically transform into something not shitty for use inside of a vehicle.

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Shitty touch UI? I see you've never used one before. The response is amazing.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Found the swasticar driver.....

[–] Oderus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Way to go Sherlock. You cracked the case.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

It's so Musk can give himself money he would otherwise not get. The user experience has no part in this.
