"You should notice a difference when you ask Grok questions." > Indeed, the update did not go unnoticed. By Tuesday, Grok was calling itself "MechaHitler." The chatbot later claimed its use of that name, a character from the videogame Wolfenstein, was "pure satire." Apparently the fixes didn't take.

To be clear, it naming itself MechaHitler was the least of the problems. It was actively propagating various anti-semitic conspiracy theories, it was creating teams of commenters to spell the word "n**r" together, it was specifically identifying individuals as participating in the vast Jewish conspiracy to exterminate White people, etc.

  "it was creating teams of commenters" The implications of that are breathtaking. Also, the synergy of X and Grok is pretty incredible. "@grok Is that true?" is a household meme now. We're all on a runaway train in the dark and there are curves ahead. Just how much bubbling green hazardous waste is in those tank cars, anyhow?
