Not even a single full day into operation, and the new Grok 4 is hurling racist conspiracy theories at users.

According to Elon Musk, no later than next week, it will be added to Tesla vehicles.

Very confused about what the point of this would be. People don't use their cars enough to justify having something like that installed, and it seems like it would just make things more expensive for xAI for not much benefit at all.

Adoption and usage is a huge value for AI companies.

In order to train data, they need data from humans. Just like social media companies need users to create content. And they're already crawling & stealing everything they can off the internet. But they need more.

Google, Facebook - they're shoving it in everything they own to get more user usage so they can feed their AI beast.

Until there are consequences for fascism, this is just circlejerking

That is how he decided it's had enough time in the oven

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

when getting blasted with fascist remarks on your daily commute is becoming the norm, we as a society should start asking questions.

Wow he's going balls out on the swasticar.

Grok reveals cause of latest Tesla FSD crash

Nazi vehicles with Nazi brains

Hey Tesl-errr, I mean, Grok.

Yes, fräulein

Uh... read me a story

Certainly

The function of propaganda does not lie in the scientific training of the individual, but in calling the masses' attention to certain facts, processes, necessities, etc-

Another reason to not get a Nazimobile

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

I think it is a brilliant idea for Swasticar owners - it will drive over/eliminate everyone with darker skin without driver input!

Man the actual cyberpunk sucks ass.

Even the bugged release version from 2077 was better than reality

Your car’s AI will be telling you to drive off a bridge next.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Telling you?

It's going to do the driving for you...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

I am old and have an old vehicle. Forgot about the self driving stuff for a minute.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

At some point Grok is going to take over the driving and just start running over minorities. Mark my words

[–] [email protected] 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

So you want Grok, a racist LLM, to have control of vehicles with driverless features. How long until Grok commits a terrorist attack?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

How long until one does and Trump says "there's good AIs on both sides"?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Cars?

Oh, you mean nazi buckets?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 14 hours ago

Calling teslas “Swasticars” and CT’s “”Wankpanzers” was supposed to be a joke.

Bad day to be a jewish Telsa driver.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Thanks for the chuckle, that got me good. I just imagined an old Jewish man groaning "Oy vey..." after starting his car and seeing a greeting message along the lines of "HI! I'm MECHA-Hitler, your new onboard Ai assistant!"

(It's a surreal dark-humor chuckle, not an antisemitic chuckle, just to clarify, since this is the internet...)

[–] [email protected] 21 points 14 hours ago

He's really leaning into the Swasticar thing isn't he?

"Grok is now ready" - Musk

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

This is what Musk mutters to himself when on the porcelain throne.

Tesla owner: "I don't care about politics, I just like the car. I'm not a bad person!"

car is in the background screaming, "Jews will not replace us!!"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

They can run the model locally on the car's onboard NPU/GPU, so every time the driver asks the car a question, the model can take compute away from the car's driving software. "Hey, Tesla, why are trees green?" Dashboard goes dark, car drives off road

Although to be fair, they already do that last part.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

I was about to say, that might make the car safer on net!

Less compute means less bandwidth to hallucinate demons in front of you on a totally unobstructed straightaway.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

Remember this is the same guy that has increased the price on vehicles people didn’t yet receive but already paid for. He asked people to pay more for already purchased vehicles they have not received.

We’re still waiting on self driving, Elon. Where’s self driving, Elon? Stop giving your devs extra work and implement self driving, Elon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago

Tesla will go bankrupt before self driving is released.
