Elon Musk’s AI, Grok, crashed into controversy, then crushed the competition all within hours.
First, Grok 3 started praising Hitler. Then Grok 4 showed up and aced nearly every AI test.
Justin serves up a juicy conspiracy theory: was Grok’s hateful public meltdown actually a cunning Musk masterplan, a dramatic stunt to expose AI's darker side?
Frank’s having none of it, comparing Musk to Marvel’s Tony Stark in the Age Of Ultron. Well-meaning but recklessly creating an AI menace he can't actually control.
But Grok 4 is legitimately groundbreaking. Justin gets excited about Grok’s unique 50/50 balance between pre-training and post-training. But despite its brainy brilliance, both Justin and Frank agree they'd rather eat their keyboards than trust Grok with anything important.
If you run a business or you're simply watching AI from a safe distance with popcorn, this episode is essential. Especially if you like a dose of humour with your tech debates.
Grok drama aside, Justin and Frank get stuck into more eyebrow-raising AI headlines from the week, including:

• Why did Musk’s Grok spew hate speech?
• Is Grok 4 now the smartest AI out there?
• Will AI crash like subprime mortgages?
• Did Marco Rubio’s AI clone scam top politicians?
• Did AI safety fears just spark a murder cult?
