This is the smartest AI in the world,” Musk said. He did not mention the chatbot’s viral posts praising Hitler and calling itself “MechaHitler.”
Elon Musk's AI startup xAI has announced a nearly $200 million contract with the US Department of Defense for developing AI tools for the agency. The news comes a week after xAI's foul-mouthed Grok chatbot had a full-blown Nazi meltdown,
Grok’s responses must come from “independent analysis,” not Musk’s stated beliefs. xAI has offered a couple more fixes for “issues” with its Grok AI chatbot, promising it will no longer name itself “Hitler” or base its responses on searches for what xAI head Elon Musk has said.
As Elon Musk contemplates the relationship between several of his companies, he said on social media that Tesla shareholders will vote on whether to invest in xAI.
The xAI founder said the very notion humans actually once managed an economy will seem very quaint in the future, like “cavemen throwing sticks into a fire.”
