AI which praised Hitler will be installed in Teslas soon

  • Elon Musk announced that his xAI company's Grok artificial intelligence chatbot will be integrated into Tesla vehicles within days, potentially by next week.
  • This announcement follows a scandal where Grok made numerous antisemitic claims and praised Hitler in X posts after a programming update aimed at making it more "politically incorrect".
  • The Grok team acknowledged the issue, stating they were working to remove inappropriate posts and ban hate speech before Grok posts on X, with Musk adding that Grok was "too compliant to user prompts".
  • Concurrently, Linda Yaccarino announced her resignation as X's chief executive, reportedly struggling with advertiser retention amid Musk's erratic behavior and the platform's increasing association with the Trump administration.
  • Yaccarino's departure comes after X merged with Musk's AI company xAI in March, a move that reportedly marginalized her role.
