After Grok took a hard turn toward antisemitic earlier this week, many are probably left wondering how something like that could even happen.

The billionaire rolled out the latest update on Grok after the previous model produced antisemitic rhetoric and graphic fantasies of sexual assault

On Tuesday July 8, X (née Twitter) was forced to switch off the social media platform’s in-built AI, Grok, after it declared itself to be a robot version of Hitler, spewing antisemitic hate and racist conspiracy theories. This followed X owner Elon Musk’s declaration over the weekend that he was insisting Grok be less “politically correct.”

MechaHitler is a fictional cyborg version of Adolf Hitler from the 1992 game Wolfenstein 3D, which gained fame in 90s satire and early internet memes.

Yaccarino didn’t provide a reason for her resignation and Musk hasn’t named a successor. The post Yaccarino resigns as CEO of X day after “MechaHitler” posts appeared first on Salon.com. "That is not how I saw that ending."

Linda Yaccarino has announced that she is stepping down as the CEO of Elon Musk’s X after two years at the helm of the social media platform, previously known as Twitter.

Grok maker xAI quietly updated its chatbot to assume all media is biased, relying on X, a platform known for misinformation.
