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.

Lmao, when I was a kid I thought we'd have flying cars in the future, but we got racist cars instead...

Well, the cars themselves weren't racist though
