Elon Musk, Grok
Digest more
Elon Musk on Wednesday unveiled Grok 4, a new version of his X platform's AI chatbot. The update comes a day after the bot posted antisemitic content on the social media network. Musk introduced the new model in a livestream on X late Wednesday, calling Grok 4 "the smartest AI in the world."
After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.
X eventually deleted many of the obscene posts. Hours later, on Wednesday, X CEO Linda Yaccarino resigned from the company after just two years at the helm, though it wasn’t immediately clear whether her departure was related to the Grok issue.
On Wednesday night, Elon Musk unveiled xAI's latest flagship models Grok 4 and Grok 4 Heavy via livestream, just one day after the company's Grok chatbot began generating outputs that featured blatantly antisemitic tropes in responses to users on X.
