Grok didn't have lapses in its safeguards; xAI failed to implement them.
Grok isn't "working to fix it;" xAI engineers should be (and it's unclear if they even are, since no journalists are doing their goddamned job).
Grok did not "issue an apology." The account posted an apology written by ???.

I know everyone is pointing it out but I do think it is absolutely reckless editorial practice to cite what an AI says, especially in a headline.
Grok has no authority, nor does it have a meaningful explanation for what happened, and citing it obscures those actually responsible for literal crimes.

Grok says safeguard lapses led to images of 'minors in minimal clothing' on X
Elon Musk's xAI artificial intelligence chatbot Grok said on Friday lapses in safeguards had resulted in "images depicting minors in minimal clothing" on social media platform X and that improvements were being made to prevent this.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Please remember that it's incredibly cheap for instigators to buy posting bots. Someone will almost certainly be willing to spend a few hundred dollars to brigade the comment section.

here's an important thing about deterministic tools: when they fail, they fail predictably
you can learn how to use them *for your own purposes* because they behave in consistent ways even if they aren't 100% optimal
AI tools add a layer of ambiguity so you're 100% never sure what the output means

i'm doing library instruction sessions for the first time this semester and i feel this so much! even leaving out specifically LLM-related stuff it feels like vendors and publishers have totally fucked us over wrt precision in searches and made it much harder to give clear instructions
![“We are trying to teach how to construct useful, exact searching,” she said. “But really [these products’ intent] is to make that not happen. The problem with that in a university library is we’re trying to teach those skills but we have tools that negate that necessity. And because those tools don’t work well, you’ve not learned the skill and you’re still getting crap results, so you’re never going to get better results because you didn’t learn the skill.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qbg2ge2q7lgipeptotli2vfs/bafkreicbu5ughajlosyhtkexdywxjydqs2yvoepbvgwuq2ylbpjrlniz4e@jpeg)
