Elon Musk’s AI chatbot is suddenly posting antisemitic tropes

Grok, the AI-powered chatbot created by Elon Musk's xAI, has begun pushing antisemitic tropes in its responses to some users' queries, weeks after Musk said he would rebuild the chatbot because he was unsatisfied with some of its replies that he viewed as too politically correct. On Tuesday, Grok connected several antisemitic tropes to an X account with a name it identified as being "Ashkenazi Jewish" that caused controversy with offensive comments posted online about the victims of the recent Texas floods. "[T]hat surname? Every damn time," Grok said in response to a user who asked the bot to identify a woman in an unrelated image. AI chatbot Grok has posted antisemitic material on X.

Public service took her from Germany to Alaska to Kansas City, Missouri, where she moved last year for a long-sought promotion.

Judge orders Trump administration to speed up payment of USAID and State Department debts

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to speed up its payment on some of nearly $US2 billion in debts to partners of the US Agency for International Development and the State Department, giving it a Monday deadline to repay the nonprofit groups and businesses in a lawsuit over the administration's abrupt shutdown of foreign assistance funding. US District Judge Amir Ali described the partial payment as a "concrete" first step he wanted to see from the administration, which is fighting multiple lawsuits seeking to roll back the administration's dismantling of USAID and a six-week freeze on USAID funding, which has forced US-funded organisations to halt aid and development work around the world and lay off workers. Ali's line of questioning in a four-hour h...
