One of the new AI ‘companions’ launched by Elon Musk’s xAI, the company that owns the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), is being reportedly tweaked.

Grok, the artificial intelligence bot native to Elon Musk’s X platform, delivered a long series of antisemitic replies Tuesday following a reported update in which it was told to embrace the “politically incorrect.” The bot took the suggestion and ran with it, ultimately devolving into praise for Adolf Hitler.

Elon Musk says his new AI model ‘better than PhD level in everything’ - The billionaire SpaceX and Tesla boss was speaking at the launch of the latest version of his company xAI’s flagship model.

This marks a shift in the AI wars. Instead of just competing on intelligence or reasoning, Musk wants Grok to feel more personal, more addictive, and more human, or at least more fun. But the reactions online show that people are split. SuperGrok now has two new companions for you, say hello to Ani and Rudy! pic.twitter.com/SRrV6T0MGT

Responding to several user inquiries, Grok gave detailed instructions on how to rape and break into the home of Will Stancil, a left-leaning commentator.

Elon Musk's xAI has reportedly mandated its employees to install Hubstaff, a monitoring software, on company laptops. This decision, aimed at bolstering security, has sparked privacy concerns among staff training Grok.

Built using huge amounts of computing power at a Tennessee data center, Grok is Musk's attempt to outdo rivals such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini in building an AI assistant that shows its reasoning before answering a question.
