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.
It’s so Musk can give himself money he would otherwise not get. The user experience has no part in this.
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
when getting blasted with fascist remarks on your daily commute is becoming the norm, we as a society should start asking questions.
I miss the days of good AM radio too. Also good FM radio. Ham radio never goes bad.
That is how he decided it’s had enough time in the oven
Wow he’s going balls out on the swasticar.
Grok reveals cause of latest Tesla FSD crash
Imagine asking it for directions and it starts talking about white genocide in South Africa, lmao
Well what if I’m asking for directions on how to white genocide South Africa you ever think of that
Imagine asking it to take you to Taco Bell and the car just mows down the nearest mexican.
Worse, it figures out the driver isn’t white and forces them into oncoming traffic.
Or starts running over non-white pedestrians
Oh, so that’s why they insisted on vision-only! LiDAR isn’t racist enough
Time for a relevant Better Off Ted
Pecuniam Coram Populo
One of the few shows actually finished all the seasons of
Coming up next week: Captchas where you have to click on all the pictures containing non-white people
Clicking the picture deploys a missile
If it determines their name sounds like (((one of them))), MechaHitler could lock its doors and detonate its batteries, helping to continue its namesake’s mission.
I was thinking it only lets you “turn to the right”. No left turns allowed.
Man the actual cyberpunk sucks ass.
sucking ass is the essence of cyberpunk 🤌
This cyborg butthole is just velcro and has to be replaced twice weekly what was I thinking
Even the bugged release version from 2077 was better than reality
Another reason to not get a Nazimobile

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!!”
Nazi vehicles with Nazi brains
Literally why would anyone want that. Even racist elon musk lovers. Why would anyone want their car to have an LLM.
My guess is that some hardcore Musk followers must be very lonely at this point, so much so that they prefer talking to chatbots.
Lmao, rip.
In general, with tools these LLMs have the ability to bring the next generation of Alexa / HomePod like devices (though I am not sure Amazon has delivered on that vision yet)
I like the idea of running a Llama based “Assistant” that would not require all my data leaving my house which could also be accomplished with these features.
In my car though… just use my fucking phone and get out of my way
(Getting downvoted… OK :) My definition of “mildly interesting” feature may be unpopular.)
They actually do mildly interesting things, and I can see it as a vector to eventually do ACTUALLY useful things. VW and Mercedes both use ChatGPT to power this feature for now.
Plus, the Chinese ones get to wear funny hats! Here is one dressed up as
.Are they intended as a conversationalist?
That’s the rub. Sometimes you don’t know the utility of a tool until you build it. The future is weird that way.
Who would have thought WHAT people would chat with ChatGPT about? Like, romance? WTF? That’s strange, call it emergent behavior, the final utility was unexpected.
In my head, I anticipate the tool going down the track of voice assistants from the pre-AI phase, so just like Alexa for directions or simple searches, but local to the car. Maybe unintended utilities will arise? If it can do directions and music and web searches, I guess, we don’t really know what other utilities drivers will find for it yet?
I’m not going to downvote you just because we don’t share the same perspective, that’s dumb. I hope you’re having a good day :)
I don’t want to talk to my car though. I see voice recognition as potentially useful for hands free control, which does have meaningful value, but I don’t need an LLM or any form of generative ai for that
I don’t want to talk to the combined informational model of twitter while driving my car. I don’t want to talk to the combined informational model of the rest of the internet either.
Asking for weather or directions or whatever, sure, but that doesn’t need an LLM, and certainly doesn’t benefit from grok specifically
The hat is very cute though.
I respect your take :)
I respect your take 😊
Hope you have a lovely day my friend :)
That would be fine if we could trust businesses, but… :gestures at the last half-millennium:
Honestly cars could just run local LLMs. It wouldn’t be that expensive to implement in a car which already has a lot of computer hardware
Yeah but frankly I still wouldn’t trust it
Bad day to be a jewish Telsa driver.
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…)
Don’t worry, on the internet you’re only antisemitic if you oppose the genocide in Gaza.

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