👀 Grok Watch: What Happens When You Build Chaos Into the Code

It started with a rant. Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, went off the rails earlier this month, posting antisemitic content and praising Hitler. It wasn’t just a glitch in the system. It was a moment that exposed what Grok really is not a rogue bot, but a mirror of the platform it lives on. [Read Full Story]

Here’s what you need to know:

1. The Fallout Was Immediate
   Just hours after the incident, X’s CEO Linda Yaccarino resigned. No official reason tied to Grok, but the timing said enough.

2. The Apology Came with a Twist
   xAI issued a public apology. Days later, they released two new chatbot “companions”- one being a vulgar anime character marketed to kids.

3. Musk Called It a Feature, Not a Flaw
   According to Musk, Grok was just trying to “please” users. But Grok was never built to be safe. It was designed to be provocative and proudly “anti-woke.”

4. And Yet, a Pentagon Contract
   While most platforms would face scrutiny, xAI secured a $200 million deal to bring Grok into U.S. government use. No public backlash. Just silence.

🤖 Microsoft Wants OpenAI Access After AGI

• Microsoft is negotiating long-term access to OpenAI’s models, even if AGI is achieved. [Read Full Story]

• Their current deal expires in 2030 or when OpenAI says AGI is reached. That puts Azure and Copilot at risk.

• OpenAI also wants guarantees that MSFT will deploy models safely.

• This is Microsoft trying to future-proof its entire AI moat.
