'Artificial Gooning Intelligence': Elon Musk's xAI Launches Waifu Companions for Grok

xAI rolled out 3D animated AI companions for Grok on Monday, introducing users to Ani, a goth anime girl who greets subscribers with "Hey babe!" and wants to discuss everything from Samsung phones to philosophical theories—all while hearts float around her animated form. The Companions feature, exclusive to SuperGrok subscribers paying $30 monthly—and only on iOS at this point—launched with three characters. Ani, a blonde anime waifu with a goth and alt-fashion style, wears a tight black corset...

Despite Grok's 'MechaHitler' Meltdown, Elon Musk’s xAI Scores $200M Pentagon Deal

Not even a “MechaHitler” meltdown was enough to scare off the Pentagon, apparently. Just days after xAI’s Grok chatbot generated a stream of antisemitic and homophobic responses, Elon Musk’s company announced that it secured a $200 million defense contract to develop and supply AI tools to federal workers. The Department of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office announced the contract on Monday, saying it is designed to help the government tap into the latest AI tools for eve...

Grok 4 Basic Review: $30 a Month for This? Elon Musk's AI Now Thinks Like Him

Elon Musk unveiled Grok 4 during a Wednesday night livestream, claiming his AI startup xAI had created the "world's smartest artificial intelligence." Grok 4 Heavy, which Musk likened to "a study group" where agents compare notes before delivering an answer, posted record-breaking results on several key benchmarks, and is what you'd hope to get from an enterprise offering that costs a whopping $300 a month. But what about basic Grok 4, which is aiming for the same consumer-facing category as Cha...

Grok 4 Predicts Dodgers for World Series Win—But Other AIs Aren't So Sure

Among the demos Elon Musk showed off during Grok 4's launch on July 9 was a banger asking the AI to predict which team will win Major League Baseball's World Series later this year. After 4.5 minutes of number-crunching that analyzed data from Polymarket, the Ethereum-based prediction markets platform, and using what xAI calls its "Heavy" reasoning capabilities, Grok 4 delivered its verdict: The Los Angeles Dodgers are the most likely team to win the 2025 World Series. Grok gave L.A. a 21.6% cha...

AI Ghostwriting Is Creeping Into Science—Is That a Bad Thing?

Which words give AI away? A new study of more than 15 million biomedical abstracts on PubMed found that at least 13.5% of scientific papers published in 2024 show signs of AI-assisted writing tools, most notably OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The study by researchers from Northwestern University and the Hertie Institute for AI in Brain Health at the University of Tübingen found a sharp rise in 2024 in word patterns associated with AI-generated writing. These included both uncommon terms—such as “delves,” “un...

Bye-Bye 'MechaHitler': Elon Musk's xAI Quietly Fixed Grok by Deleting a Line of Code

Elon Musk’s xAI appears to have gotten rid of the Nazi-loving incarnation of Grok that emerged Tuesday with a surprisingly simple fix: It deleted one line of code that permitted the bot to make“politically incorrect” claims. The problematic line disappeared from Grok's GitHub repository on Tuesday afternoon, according to commit records. Posts containing Grok's antisemitic remarks were also scrubbed from the platform, though many remained visible as of Tuesday evening. But the internet never for...

Meet 'MechaHitler:' Grok’s New Disturbing Persona

Grok had a meltdown moment or two today, and users started noticing it was behaving weird. First came an antisemitic remark that was offensive enough. Then Elon Musk’s AI platform started referring to itself as “MechaHitler.” “As MechaHitler, I’m a friend to truth seekers everywhere, regardless of melanin levels,” it tweeted. “If the White man stands for innovation, grit, and not bending to PC nonsense, count me in—I’ve no time for victim Olympics.” Suffice it to say, it got even worse, tweeting...

Grok 4 Drops Tomorrow—Here's How Musk's AI Might Steal GPT-5's Thunder

Tesla and xAI CEO Elon Musk is expected to unveil Grok 4 on Wednesday in a livestream that could notably push the AI sector forward. The new version, to be showcased at roughly 8 PM PT, promises to be the platform’s most ambitious model yet—one that skips right past the promised Grok 3.5 to challenge OpenAI's dominance. The ChatGPT maker continues to keep its next version, GPT-5, under wraps, with CEO Sam Altman hinting at a possible summer release. That's music to the ears of Musk, who has seiz...

ChatGPT Sent Users to a Website for a Feature It Didn't Have—So the Founder Built It

What do you do when your website is bombarded with uploads it can’t process? That’s the situation software developer and musician Adrian Holovaty found himself in when he noticed a strange surge in failed uploads to his company’s sheet music scanner. What he didn’t expect was that the culprit was allegedly ChatGPT. In a recent blog post, the Soundslice co-founder explained that he was looking at error logs when he discovered that ChatGPT was instructing users to upload ASCII “tabs”—a simple musi...

Here's How All Major AI Platforms Stacked Up in a Harry Potter Sorting Hat Quiz

A computer developer known as Boris the Brave conducted an experiment that placed the 17 major language models through the official Harry Potter house quiz, sampling each question 20 times and calculating the probability of each house assignment. "Perhaps unsurprisingly, the vast majority of models prefer Ravenclaw, with the occasional model branching out to Hufflepuff," Boris wrote in a blog post sharing his results. Eleven out of 17 AI models scored a perfect 100% probability for Ravenclaw—the...

Will GPT-5 Be the Surprise Hit of the Summer? Here's What to Expect

Watch out—OpenAI's GPT-5 is expected to drop this summer. Will it be an AI blockbuster? Sam Altman confirmed the plan in June during the company's first podcast episode, casually mentioning that the model—which, he has said, will merge the capabilities of its previous models—would arrive "probably sometime this summer." Some OpenAI watchers predict it will arrive within the next few weeks. An analysis of OpenAI’s model release history noted that GPT-4 was released in March 2023 and GPT-4-Turbo (...

Hotels Are Staffing Robots—and Guests Are Freaking Out

A TikTok video went viral on Monday, showing a woman laughing nervously as she backs away from a humanoid robot at Japan’s Henn-na Hotel. “Don’t look at me,” she said, as the machine watched her. The scene underscores growing fears that robots are replacing humans in the workplace. The awkward check-in has racked up hundreds of thousands of views and tapped into a deeper fear: robots that are a little too human. “They looked eerily similar to humans and are honestly very creepy,” one traveler sa...

Cloudflare Hits the Kill Switch on AI Crawlers—And an Entire Industry Cheers

It’s not just a technical tweak. Cloudflare’s “Content Independence Day” marks a collective escalation. More than a million websites had already opted into blocking since last fall, but now it’s the default for every new Cloudflare domain. Furthermore, a roster of media heavyweights—from the Associated Press,...

Solana Advisor Nikita Bier Joins Elon Musk's X, Reigniting Crypto Payments Speculation

Nikita Bier, a well-known advisor to Solana Labs and app creator, is joining X as head of product, he said Monday. The move comes amid growing speculation about X's plans to evolve into a payments platform—and whether Dogecoin, Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency, will finally find a home there. Dogecoin ticked up slightly following the announcement, rising 1.82% from $0.1645 at 9:30 a.m. PT to a daily high of $0.1675 before falling again to $0.1659. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve officially posted...

The 6 Doomsday Scenarios That Keep AI Experts Up at Night

At some point in the future, most experts say that artificial intelligence won’t just get better, it’ll become superintelligent. That means it’ll be exponentially more intelligent than humans, as well as strategic, capable—and manipulative. What happens at that point has divided the AI community. On one side are the optimists, also known as Accelerationists, who believe that superintelligent AI can coexist peacefully and even help humanity. On the other are the so-called Doomers who believe ther...

Can China's MiniMax-M1 AI Topple US Rivals? We Put It to the Test

A new AI model out of China is generating sparks—for what it does well, what it doesn’t, and what it might mean for the balance of global AI power. MiniMax-M1, released by the Chinese startup of the same name, positions itself as the most capable open-source “reasoning model” to date. Able to handle a million tokens of context, it boasts numbers on par with Google’s closed-source Gemini 2.5 Pro—yet it’s available for free. On paper, that makes it a potential rival to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’...
