“The announcement of the imminent integration of Grok into Tesla vehicles comes just days after the language model went haywire on X and started praising Hitler, referring to itself as ‘MechaHitler’, and made several antisemitic comments.
xAI acknowledge the issue and put Grok on timeout while they fixed it.
The large language model (LLM) is expected to power the new voice assistant inside Tesla vehicles.”

These investors who want Musk to spend more time on Tesla might want to rethink that.

Can’t wait for this “Grok, turn on their conditioning”, “please wait while I check with Elon Musk that it is ok for me to execute this command” 🤦♂️
Tesla, no all of Elon’s companies are just a joke at this stage. If the board’s and shareholders don’t grow a backbone soon and eject him, they are all going under.

Reminds me of that old Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns deliberately tries to run over Bart with a Mercedes and uses the sign at the tip of the car as front sight.
In this case, the software will be doing the targeting.

I’m just waiting for the next headline to report that Tesla’s are substantially less safe for minorities than for the master race.

I didn’t think Telsa could get any more dead, but the idea of an onboard racist feature might fully kill it.

Our model 3 computer gets slower with every update. It no longer recognizes our phone keys. It glitches out while driving constantly. You want to ask that shitty cheap processor you put in on the promise it’d be self driving to run an AI now?

Now we have the true fully featured Nazimobile. I’m sure sales are just going to explode like they have been all year so far. Lol

No we know for sure that Tesla drivers are either Nazi or maga or both. Interesting

“Swasticar” was an insult, not a suggestion. These people take the worst things we say about them and they somehow think it’s a compliment.

Cool I didn’t need more reasons to avoid buying a Tesla but I appreciate that he keeps giving them to me.

I know this is „just“ the voice control for the car, but imagine a supposedly autonomous vehicle with a fully unhinged racist AI on board. Bad enough that it has trouble identifying darker skinned human beings as such, now we’ve got to wonder whether it‘ll just decide to run them over anyways.
