Musk has marketed Grok as an “unfiltered” and “truth-seeking” chatbot that does not subscribe to politically correct standards. Grok has been known to provide inaccurate information when asked about historical events and natural disasters, including wrong names, dates, and details of events. While erroneous responses are a common pitfall of all generative AI, Grok is unique because Musk has called on X users to help train Grok, who then posted conspiracy theories and disinformation. Grok recently “engaged in Holocaust denial and repeatedly brought up false claims of ‘white genocide’ in South Africa.” Grok also does not appear to apply customary safety filters to its responses and “will happily give you advice on how to commit murders and terrorist attacks.”
The lack of safety features has also resulted in Grok creating antisemitic and other offensive content. Days after Musk boasted on social media about significant improvements to the xAI chatbot, “Grok was calling itself ‘MechaHitler’” and recommending a second Holocaust to neo-Nazi accounts.
According to a former Pentagon contracting official, the xAI contract “came out of nowhere,” when other companies had been under consideration for months. Analysts have also indicated that “xAI [did not] have the kind of reputation or track record that typically leads to lucrative government contracts.” During his time as a special government employee, Musk had access to sensitive government contracting, national security, and personnel data.

I hope they integrate it so the US military will collapse
Wishful thinking. I want you to go have a look at DTS and then tell me you think having to use a racist chatbot to access some information is going to collapse the system.
Ha ha, they will ask for factual info and mechahitler will spout off on some scapegoating for politics bs, when they need the truthful info.
Just like invasion of Iraq?
The working class is being robbed every day.
Half the country’s opening their fucking wallets to these psychopaths
May it all be for naught and America collapses due to its own dysfunction and corruption, the world has suffered the American establishment enough.
I don’t want America to collapse, I would like for America to drop all these MAGA politicians who are ruining their country.
Just look at how stupid it was to raid the Hyundai plant. And threatening Canada and Greenland which has put the US at odds with their allies.
They’d get better trade deals if they didn’t burn literally all goodwill and trust while trying to strong arm the whole world. But now everyone is trying to diversify as much as possible from the US.
I hope Elon meets the same fate as good ol’ Charlie
Imagine trying to explain this timeline 20 years ago to any sane person. It would sound like some dystopian science fiction conjured up from a fever dream.
Sort of, I called most of this before 20 years back, what I got wrong was thinking the worse guys would be more capable.
Also even though I knew each party was going to get worse every cycle, and that the Democrats would be worthless, and I did call that however worthless we thought the Democrats were going to be, they were going to be even worse than that, that they were still worse than how much worse I thought they were going to be than worth less.
“Let me get this straight… you decided you do want to build skynet, and you chose the AI that identifies as mechahitler to run it?”
Back to the future two wants a word.
Ahh this is how we become extinct
We have societal collapse preceding climate change rocking the world until the rich blot out the sun with geo engineering before all of that.
Huh another matrix fan I see
Seeing as Warren did not question why she would stay in the race to split the non-establishment vote while all the establishment candidates dropped out and endorsed Biden in 2020 I really don’t give a fuck what she does now. She split the reform minded vote in doomed us. Ignorance is no excuse, I don’t care if she thought Biden was the safe choice. She should have known that was not the case, I did.
I just saw a post where grok was saying that the video of CK bring shot was a meme and that CK was perfectly fine
I mean of course they should integrate this into every system.in the US army
I’m looking forward to the Wikipedia article about that army that utterly destroyed itself with sheer stupidity
The ai industry is trying to create a dependency on itself before the bubble bursts. That’s all this is. Business majors running scams.
I hate musk. I also hate Netanyahu.
Fuck it, let them kill eachother.
Antisemites like the zionist state, cuz it means less jews in the west and the prophecies of armagedon could be fulfilled
Same country that has many state bans on boycotting Israel. This same country wants the mechahitler from an actual Nazi in charge?
Did it really take antisemitism to make it questionable?
Listen Liz, The Pentagon and hero emblem of democratic free speech, Charlie Kirk, love Mecha Hitler. Why don’t you, commie slut?
Retarded Skynet. What could possibly go wrong.
(Sorry for the word choice)
If this one positive in this cesspool of a zeitgeist we are living in now then I’m pretty sure it’s that people don’t care so much if you say retarded anymore.
Wow, when I see a waifu come up on my comms system I’ll know we’re living in the future.
Weird. In the 80s, there was this loner in my class who pretended to be a Nazi robot. He walked around and asked everybody in a robotic voice: “Are you an Arian?” … “But your father has black hair. Conclusion: Not an Arian.” etc.
Nobody got the joke. Must have been like the Comedian in Watchmen: Not a joke after all, just a reflection on the present, or future, in his case.
Hodor!
I see your Jewish space laser and I raise you a swarm of antisemitic drones!
DOGE sees nothing wrong with 200M on AI for national security right?
lol that will be the least of your worries if you integrate anything Elon makes into my military systems
