xAI claims that a change on Monday, July 7th, “triggered an unintended action” that added an older series of instructions to its system prompts telling it to be “maximally based,” and “not afraid to offend people who are politically correct.”

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI is apologizing for a series of violent and antisemitic posts from its chatbot "GROK" earlier this week.

Elon Musk's xAI faced internal backlash after Grok's antisemitic posts. Workers demanded answers — and one said they would quit.

Tensions flared about a year ago when Musk issued warnings to Yaccarino to accelerate growth and temporarily called in longtime lieutenant Steve Davis to review X’s finances and performance management. The billionaire later hired former Tubi executive Mahmoud Reza Banki as chief financial officer.

Elon Musk's plans to ship an overseas power plant to Memphis for an xAI supercomputer raise both interest and environmental concerns.

Built using huge amounts of computing power at a Tennessee data center, Grok is Musk's attempt to outdo rivals such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini in building an AI assistant that shows its reasoning before answering a question.

In a series of posts on X, the AI chatbot Grok apologized for what it admitted was “horrific behavior.” The posts appear to be an official statement from xAI, the Elon Musk-led company behind Grok, as opposed to an AI-generated explanation for Grok’s posts.
