Elon Musk Promises Grok in Tesla Vehicles By Next Week… as the New Grok 4 Blames “Anti-White Hate” on “Jews” (fuelarc.com)

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.

Genuine question, what would it take for you to trade in your Tesla for another car?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, presumably the car not working anymore? I'm not sure what you're trying to ask them.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I'm asking if there is anything at all that Musk or the Tesla company could do, any hard line that could be crossed, which would make them trade in the car for something else.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io -3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Why would they ever do that? Buying a new Tesla is one thing, but using one they've already paid for doesn't benefit Musk. Why would there be a threshold for them to get rid of their perfectly fine car?

Personally, I'd have done it out of shame. And to send a message. I can't imagine everyone selling their Tesla cars would look good to investors.

If their answer is "there is no threshold", that's an answer, but I was asking them. If you don't have a Tesla, my question was not directed at you.

Sorry for that, but you could say "it's NoneOfUrBusiness" (their username)
