Finance department says advertising not paused during or after platform’s ‘MechaHitler’ outburst, as antisemitism envoy praises Musk-owned platform for ‘rooting out hate’
On Wednesday, Musk’s artificial intelligence firm xAI deleted “inappropriate” posts on X after Grok began praising Adolf Hitler, referring to itself as “MechaHitler” and making antisemitic comments in response to user queries.
The special envoy to combat antisemitism, Jillian Segal, told ABC’s RN Breakfast on Friday she had held meetings with a number of social media platforms, including X. “They’re very keen to ensure that hate is not associated with their platform,” she said, adding: “AI is the answer.”
Ah, this must be a new definition of antisemitism that I'm not familiar with.
