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.
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.
Genuine question, what would it take for you to trade in your Tesla for another car?
I mean, presumably the car not working anymore? I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask them.
You can opt out of it?
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.
