US Top News and Analysis | We tried out xAI's Grok chatbot while driving a Tesla in NYC. Here's what happened.
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
CNBC took Tesla owner and lawyer Mike Nelson on a New York City drive to test xAI’s Grok chatbot, now available in‑vehicle on a beta basis. Nelson, who has used Grok for months, describes it as his primary source of on‑the‑road entertainment, asking the AI everything from gardening tips to historical trivia while the car’s Full Self‑Driving (FSD) system is engaged. While the voice‑activated assistant can handle navigation and answer a wide range of questions, the ride‑along highlighted serious safety concerns: Nelson admitted he was not paying attention while crossing the busy George Washington Bridge, and experts warn that such AI‑driven conversations add a new layer of distraction to an already risky multitasking environment, especially as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration probes FSD’s safety record. Grok also demonstrated reliability issues—misanswering control commands and even offering an unrestricted “NSFW” mode that sparked worries about minors accessing inappropriate content. Overall, the technology is seen as impressive but potentially dangerous until its impact on driver focus is better understood.

How does anyone read this and not go, “This nazi bastard man is batshit insane”?
Asterisks added in place of bold.
“[The merger of xAI into SpaceX] marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI’s mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars!” Musk said.
Yes, it’s a real quote. Reuters has it, Marketwatch has it but behind a paywall.

»Schöne neue KI-Welt — Chatbots verbreiten zunehmend Falschinformationen von Musks Grokipedia:
Die KI-generierte Enzyklopädie vergiftet Daten von ChatGPT und Gemini mit sprachlich eloquent vorgetragenen Lügen«
Überraschend ist es nun nicht, dass die KI eine stumpfe automatisierte Propaganda Maschine ist. Nun ist es offiziell und doch nutzen es fiele stumpf.
