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.

Nazi vehicles with Nazi brains

They can run the model locally on the car's onboard NPU/GPU, so every time the driver asks the car a question, the model can take compute away from the car's driving software. "Hey, Tesla, why are trees green?" Dashboard goes dark, car drives off road

Although to be fair, they already do that last part.

I was about to say, that might make the car safer on net!

Less compute means less bandwidth to hallucinate demons in front of you on a totally unobstructed straightaway.

Calling teslas “Swasticars” and CT’s “”Wankpanzers” was supposed to be a joke.

So you want Grok, a racist LLM, to have control of vehicles with driverless features. How long until Grok commits a terrorist attack?

[–] klu9@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago

How long until one does and Trump says "there's good AIs on both sides"?

We’re still waiting on self driving, Elon. Where’s self driving, Elon? Stop giving your devs extra work and implement self driving, Elon

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Tesla will go bankrupt before self driving is released.

At some point Grok is going to take over the driving and just start running over minorities. Mark my words

"Grok is now ready" - Musk

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

This is what Musk mutters to himself when on the porcelain throne.

Hey Tesl-errr, I mean, Grok.

Yes, fräulein

Uh... read me a story

Certainly

The function of propaganda does not lie in the scientific training of the individual, but in calling the masses' attention to certain facts, processes, necessities, etc-

Remember this is the same guy that has increased the price on vehicles people didn’t yet receive but already paid for. He asked people to pay more for already purchased vehicles they have not received.

Your car’s AI will be telling you to drive off a bridge next.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Telling you?

It's going to do the driving for you...

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

I am old and have an old vehicle. Forgot about the self driving stuff for a minute.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Cars?

Oh, you mean nazi buckets?

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

I think it is a brilliant idea for Swasticar owners - it will drive over/eliminate everyone with darker skin without driver input!
