'Hate Disaster' at Grok to blame, speculations go viral after Elon Musk's '5-word' reply to Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino's goodbye note
Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino has resigned after two years. Yaccarino announced the same in a post on Twitter. "After two incredible years, I've decided to step down as CEO of 𝕏.," she wrote. "I'm immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App," Yaccarino added. Elon Musk gave a five-word response to her long 'goodbye' post. "Thank you for your contributions," wrote Musk. When Grok ran wild: "MechaHitler" and more ... Linda Yaccarino's resignation comes just a day after a recent update to Grok led to a flood of antisemitic commentary from the chatbot that included praise of Adolf Hitler. On Tuesday, July 9, it was calling itself "MechaHitler" in some responses, amplifying concerns about its behavior. Yaccarino has not publicly addressed this latest hate speech controversy. She has previously defended Elon Musk's approach, notably in a lawsuit against Media Matters for America. The advocacy group's report alleged that posts from major advertisers on X appeared alongside neo-Nazi and white nationalist content, prompting some advertisers to pause their campaigns. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi gratuita en Laboulaye (ver precio) Verisure Más información Undo Some experts reportedly link Grok's behavior to Musk's intent to position it as a counterpoint to 'woke' chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. In late June, Musk invited Twitter users to train Grok by sharing 'divisive facts' in a June 21 post, stating, 'Please reply to this post with divisive facts for @Grok training. By this I mean things that are politically incorrect, but nonetheless factually true.' This call reportedly led to a flood of racist responses and conspiracy theories. Grok's prompts were later updated to encourage 'politically incorrect' but 'well-substantiated' claims, though this instruction was subsequently removed. On Wednesday, the Grok account posted on X, saying, 'We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts,' without elaborating further. xAI has since implemented stricter content moderation protocols to prevent similar incidents, though details on these measures remain limited.
