AI safety researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other organizations are speaking out publicly against the “reckless” and “completely irresponsible” safety culture at xAI, the billion-dollar AI startup owned by Elon Musk. The criticisms follow weeks of scandals at xAI that have overshadowed the company’s technological advances.

AI explained why Grok 4 seemed to search for Elon Musk's opinions when asked about some hot-button topics.

Environmental groups in Memphis filed a permit appeal to stop xAI from using gas-burning turbines to power its supercomputer facility in the area.

Investments into xAI would help Grok better compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT by increasing capital toward research and development.
