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.

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.

If someone bought a cyber-truck without the Grock, they bought it as it was. Shoving Grock down the consumers' throats without their consent would constitute a material alteration of tge car that was originally bought. This would then constitute graffiti.

Edit: if the vehicle had not been fully purchased and paid, this would be potential grounds for a refund because the material alteration of the good would make the contract for the sale of the vehicle voidable.

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-

What does this even mean? If you have a phone in your tesla, you already have grok in a tesla vehicle. Amazing how the Media-Tesla-hype complex works.

That is how he decided it's had enough time in the oven

I can't even get a PRD approved in a week...

Saving the environment with electric car to later add an energy guzzling racist chat bot to the front panel. /nottheonion?

If Grok is targeting Jews or any specific ethnicity, maybe not let it out in the road?

If it just runs over people by random, well that's a different matter.

Cars?

Oh, you mean nazi buckets?

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

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Telling you?

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

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

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

My dad fsr wont ever unlease his tesla, he doesnt care

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I wouldn't normally ask this in any other context, but: is it possible your dad hates the Jews?

[–] KayLeadfoot@fedia.io 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm... very sad at how germane that question is in 2025.

As I typed it I read it and I was like "do I shoot my shot and make the joke?" and I had a rare moment of self-restraint

But Grok would be like "you had me at 𝔤𝔢𝔯𝔪𝔞𝔫"

[–] SidTheShuckle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

No, but he is a Hindu nationalist. Like fsr he hates trump and republicans but he doesnt hate any other fascist like Modi and Elon. Modi coz “hes a good speaker” and Elon coz “his inventions are good”

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