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.

Yea, that’s actually a more accurate way to phrase it. Ask it to generate something with Hitler and it’ll happily oblige, ask it to generate something supporting trans rights and it’ll block you.

    I got banned from Twitter for saying the word "cisgendered."

    So they DO know how to build limitations into the software! They've just done it in a fucked up, dystopian way :)

    Edit: LOL I asked Grok... Cisgendered is filtered as a supposed slur, while both the R word for the mentally disabled and the hard R word for the pallor-impaired, neither of those words are filtered as slurs.
