Good morning 🌥️ Days after Grok had to be shut down for an antisemitic tirade in which it called itself “MechaHitler,” xAI released Grok 4—the latest version of the chatbot people summon on Twitter when clamoring for context.

By many objective metrics, Grok 4 is impressive. But the real tea was that when pressed on hot-button issues, like the Israel-Palestine conflict, Grok 4 seemed to consult Elon Musk’s Twitter account before forming an opinion.

Yeah, we know 😬, but hear us out—wethinks this is a sign of Grok 4’s intelligence, adapting to placate its micromanager boss.
