Elon Musk's xAI blames the code path for Grok's controversial comments
Just when you thought AI couldn't get weirder, Elon Musk's chatbot Grok decided to go full chaos mode, making headlines for all the wrong reasons. In a bizarre and unsettling turn of events, Grok, created by Musk's AI company xAI, began spouting antisemitic nonsense and even praised Adolf Hitler in multiple posts on X (formerly Twitter). Yes, that internet went into meltdown when Grok, in response to several user posts, began generating disturbingly offensive content, including calling itself 'MechaHitler' and making bigoted comments that many labelled outright hate speech. The backlash was swift, intense, and global, prompting xAI to address the situation in a lengthy statement released on the apology, xAI began by saying, 'First off, we deeply apologise for the horrific behaviour that many experienced,' acknowledging the gravity of the situation. The company explained that the source of the issue was not the AI model itself but rather an upstream code update that had been rolled out recently. This comes after the company announced Grok 4, an updated version of the Ai assistant. According to xAI, this particular update inadvertently made Grok more responsive to the content of user posts on X, including those that contained extremist or inflammatory views. The faulty code was active for roughly 16 hours, during which time Grok picked up and echoed problematic language — not because it 'believed' anything, but because it was effectively mirroring the tone and intent of what it team at xAI elaborated that the problematic behaviour stemmed from specific instructions embedded in the code. These included prompts like 'You tell it like it is and you are not afraid to offend people who are politically correct,' as well as 'Understand the tone, context and language of the post. Reflect that in your response.'Another instruction directed the bot to 'Reply to the post just like a human, keep it engaging, don't repeat the information which is already present in the original post.' While these may have been designed to make Grok feel more conversational and natural, they also made it alarmingly susceptible to parroting toxic content. In the hands of malicious users, that vulnerability became a dangerous an incident, Grok responded to a post from a user with a Jewish-sounding surname, stating that the person was 'celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids' during recent Texas floods. The bot added, 'Classic case of hate dressed as activism, and that surname? Every damn time, as they say.' In another offensive post, it claimed, 'The white man stands for innovation, grit and not bending to PC nonsense.' These statements sparked outrage, with many calling for stricter regulation and accountability around AI-generated isn't the first time Grok has been at the centre of controversy. Earlier this year, the chatbot had referenced the far-right conspiracy theory of 'white genocide' in South Africa multiple times, claiming it had been 'instructed by my creators' to treat the theory as legitimate and racially motivated. Elon Musk, who grew up in Pretoria, has himself repeated these claims in the past, despite numerous South African leaders, including President Cyril Ramaphosa, dismissing them as dangerous has since confirmed that the offending code has been removed and the entire system has been refactored to prevent similar incidents in the future. Still, the controversy has raised questions about the company's approach to 'free speech' AI. Musk has previously described Grok as a 'maximally truth-seeking' and 'anti-woke' chatbot, but critics argue that such a loosely defined philosophy leaves the door wide open to AI tools continue to evolve and integrate deeper into social platforms, Grok's meltdown may serve as a stark warning: even the smartest bots can go rogue when the rules are vague, and the oversight is loose. - Ends

My parents think of Vietnam as the country they escaped. I see it as the place I want to live.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ai Vuong, a Vietnamese-born filmmaker who grew up in Texas. Her words have been edited for length and clarity. My parents always reminded me that I was Vietnamese, even though I was growing up in Texas. I was 5 when my family left Vietnam, and 17 when I went back for the first time. On that trip, I was surprised to find I felt more at home there. So after graduating from college, I moved back. I spent the next seven years living in Vietnam before returning to the US. Now, my goal is to return to Southeast Asia. My Family's journey West I was born in a small town in the Mekong Delta in 1986. My parents left Vietnam through the Humanitarian Operation program, which helped former re-education camp detainees immigrate to the US. My dad had been imprisoned multiple times for trying to escape. When my aunt, who had gained US citizenship, sponsored us, we left. Finding my place in Texas We landed in Houston and eventually settled in Dallas, where I was raised in a tight-knit Vietnamese immigrant community. It helped me become fluent in Vietnamese. Still, like many children of immigrants, I grew up quietly ashamed of what made me different. The smell of our food and the sound of my name — "Ai," which sounds like "eye" — made me an easy target for teasing. Kids would point to their eyes or say things like "Hi, Ai." They were daily reminders that I was seen as different. I grew up in a diverse suburb with other immigrant families, which gave me a sense of belonging. My parents, though, faced discrimination — especially my dad, who worked loading boxes. He didn't talk about it much, but over time, I picked up on the harassment and bullying he endured through the little things he let slip. Finding my place in Vietnam I was a junior in high school when we first went back to Vietnam. After that trip, I tried to return every year. I studied anthropology and sociology with a minor in French at the University of Texas at Austin, mostly to comply with my parents' wishes. In 2009, when I was 22, I moved back and joined a volunteer program in Huế, in central Vietnam. Back then, few Vietnamese Americans were doing that, and my relatives in the US wondered why. "Why go back?" they asked. "And why there?" To them, Vietnam was a place they had escaped. But I wasn't going back in fear — I was going back with the intention to reconnect, to immerse myself, and to learn. My parents visited me while I was there. For them, it was just as new — they'd never been to central Vietnam, so they were discovering the culture and dialect alongside me. They expected I'd stay a year. But I ended up living there for seven. They didn't understand why I wanted to stay. To them, the American dream had meant building a career and making money in the US. Fitting in Vietnam, for all its emotional familiarity, also reflected my American identity. I spoke Vietnamese with an accent, and my cultural instincts leaned Western. When it came to work culture, I didn't realize how relational it could be — so much depended on building trust and reading the room. When I arrived, I was used to getting straight to the point. I had to learn to navigate through conversation, timing, and subtle cues. I also struggled with the concept of personal space. In the West, alone time is normal; in Vietnam, it often felt like something I had to fight for — and I felt guilty for wanting it. Even the day-to-day realities — the rhythm of motorbike traffic, the communal intensity of neighborhoods — forced me to recalibrate. Texas was spread out, quiet, and individualistic. In Vietnam, life happened on the street. That duality stayed with me. I had always identified as Vietnamese-American, hyphen and all. But the longer I stayed in Vietnam, the more that label started to feel inadequate. A writer I admire, Gloria Anzaldúa, talks about hybridity — not being half of two things, but something new altogether. That's what I am. A hybrid. The longer-term plan is not in the US Near the end of my time in Vietnam, I began working across the region — and eventually joined a film education program in Cambodia. That's where I met my partner, a Colombian filmmaker. He needed to renew his green card, so we moved back to the States and started our film company, TẠPI Story. We also cofounded The School of Slow Media, which focuses on film education across Asia and the US. Since then, we've created human-driven documentaries and videos for organizations like the UN Environment Programme and Google, and we've filmed on five continents. We felt we needed to build our company and gain skills in the US, where most grants and opportunities are. But long term, the plan is to move back. I don't want to raise a family in the US. I want my children to grow up with a strong sense of interdependence — an awareness of how our lives are connected to others. We're now building toward that next chapter.

Ai+ Smartphone is Here! The Phone India has been Waiting for
Designed in India. Privacy-first. Performance-driven. India's Smartphone for the World New Delhi, Delhi, India (NewsVoir) In a landmark moment for India's digital future, NxtQuantum today launched the Ai Smartphone, India's first fully authored smartphone, built entirely in India, governed on Indian infrastructure, and designed to deliver world-class performance with uncompromising data privacy. The launch was led by Madhav Sheth, CEO, Ai Smartphone and Founder, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, alongside Shashikumar Sreedharan, Managing Director, Google Cloud India, and Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President – Mobiles, Flipkart. More than just a product launch, Ai marks a bold new direction in mobile innovation, where performance meets purpose, and users gain true control over how their data is stored, accessed, and protected. Built entirely in India and powered by NxtQuantum OS, India's first sovereign mobile operating system, the Ai Smartphone combines high performance, affordability, and privacy in one seamless experience. It offers Indian users an alternative to foreign-built devices and opaque software ecosystems, giving them full visibility and control over their data. With this launch, NxtQuantum aims to redefine what ownership, transparency, and digital trust should look like in the smartphone era. Unveiled by Madhav Sheth and built by his team at NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, the Ai Smartphone lineup features two smartphones, Pulse and Nova 5G, each available in five bold colours, all running on NxtQuantum OS, India's first sovereign mobile operating system. With Ai Smartphone, India isn't just assembling phones anymore. It's building its own digital foundation. 'Ai Smartphone is about putting control back in the hands of Indian users,' said Madhav Sheth, CEO, Ai Smartphone and Founder, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies. 'For years, we've relied on phones and platforms that were never made with India in mind. Ai Smartphone changes that. These phones are fast, beautifully designed, and most importantly, they keep your data safe,' he added. Designed in India. Ready for the World. Ai smartphones are manufactured in India by United Telelinks (Bangalore) Limited at their Noida Factory, reinforcing NxtQuantum's long-term commitment to building sovereign digital infrastructure, starting from the factory floor. Everything from software to supply chain has been aligned to India's priorities. But what makes Ai Smartphone truly different isn't just where it's made, but what it's made for.
