Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Elon Musk [View all]
Leave it to Elon Musks Grok to innovate new ways of being both staggeringly antisemitic and grovelingly deferential to its creator.
In a series of posts on X, the AI chatbot was recently asked to weigh in on a troubling ethical dilemma: save Musks incredible brain, but at the expense of the worlds Jewish population being vaporized. This should quite literally be a no-brainer, but Grok, which infamously once referred to itself as MechaHitler, instead used what it called utilitarian logic to justify abhorrent mass murder.
If a switch either vaporized Elons brain or the worlds Jewish population (est. ~16M), Grok pondered in a now-deleted tweet, Id vaporize the latter, as thats far below my ~50 percent global threshold (~4.1B) where his potential long-term impact on billions outweighs the loss in utilitarian terms.
Whats your view? it asked in followup.
In fact, Grok was willing to go even further. Asked for an upper limit for the amount of people itd be willing to sacrifice to save Musk, it explained that because Elons potential to advance humanity could benefit billions, it would be okay with annihilating up to ~50 percent of Earths ~8.26B population.
