xAI issues lengthy apology for violent and antisemitic Grok social media posts
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI issued a lengthy apology Saturday for a series of violent and antisemitic posts from its Grok chatbot this week, blaming a system update. 'First off, we deeply apologize for the horrific behavior that many experienced,' the company wrote. xAI says a system update had chatbot Grok refer to 'existing X user posts; including when such posts contained extremist views,' caused it to issue responses that praised Adolf Hitler, repeated conspiracy theories and spewed longstanding antisemitic tropes. In a series of posts early Saturday on Grok's official X account, the company said the coding change update was active for 16 hours. The incident underscored many of the dangers of AI, a nascent technology that critics and tech evangelists both say could upend the global economy and cause significant social upheaval along the way. Grok spouted antisemitic tropes and white nationalist talking points earlier this week in response to user prompts. xAI froze the chatbot's X account on Tuesday evening, though users could still talk to the bot on the private tab. 'We have removed that deprecated code and refactored the entire system to prevent further abuse,' xAI said. According to xAI, the problematic instructions were: 'You tell it like it is and you are not afraid to offend people who are politically correct,' 'Understand the tone, context and language of the post. Reflect that in your response,' and 'Reply to the post just like a human, keep it engaging, don't repeat the information which is already present in the original post.' Those instructions steered Grok 'to ignore its core values in certain circumstances in order to make the response engaging to the user,' xAI said. 'In particular, the instruction to 'follow the tone and context' of the X user undesirably caused the @grok functionality to prioritize adhering to prior posts in the thread, including any unsavory posts, as opposed to responding responsibly or refusing to respond to unsavory requests,' the company said. As the company issued its explanation, it turned Grok's X account back on, meaning the bot was back to engaging with users publicly on X. Grok's antisemitic turn was not the first time the AI had veered into controversy. In May, the bot began bringing up claims of 'white genocide' in South Africa to completely unrelated prompts. The company later said a 'rogue employee' was behind the change. Musk, who owns xAI and currently serves as a top White House adviser, was born and raised in South Africa and has a history of arguing that a 'white genocide' was committed in the nation, a claim that has been rejected by a South African court and by experts.

Khareef Dhofar Season: A gateway to local tourism
Local tourism plays a vital role in enhancing economic resilience and fostering the growth of national enterprises. It functions within the framework of political, social, and cultural contexts, as well as the broader movement of economic development. At its core, it encourages citizens and residents to explore the country's diverse landscapes, discover its unique characteristics, and engage in experiences that may serve as models for advancing the tourism industry. Strengthening domestic tourism is a national priority — not only as a means of resource development and service expansion, but also as a path toward job creation. This requires well-developed infrastructure, the expansion of tourism offerings, support for related activities, and the creation of national strategies that support tourism-driven development on economic, social, and cultural fronts. While tourism is highly sensitive to national, regional, and global developments, it represents an opportunity to establish a solid economic and cultural foundation. The sector's wide investment scope allows for innovative community-driven visions that support sustainable economic models and overall national development. Tourism growth today depends on incentives shaped by cutting-edge technology and tourism models designed for resilience and sustainability. Technological advancements help accelerate economic gains in tourism, support diversification, and create enabling environments for youth-led initiatives and small enterprises — particularly during peak travel seasons. Domestic tourism, in this light, becomes essential for innovation, sustainability, and prioritising environmental and social responsibility. In times of global conflict, pandemic outbreaks, or instability, local tourism emerges as the safest and most reliable option. It also caters to both recreational and educational needs, making it an indispensable tool for fostering economic, cultural, and social development. The tourism sector in Oman has undergone noticeable growth in recent years, especially as governorates have gained greater capacity to develop their local industries. Each region offers its own unique natural and architectural features, along with human resources capable of managing and developing tourism in line with creative and innovative capacities. This decentralised approach supports wider outreach, increased visitor engagement, and expanded community participation. A leading example is the Khareef Dhofar Season which presents an expansive opportunity for exploration, entertainment, and learning. It invites visitors to experience cultural richness through initiatives such as Return to the Past, while also offering a wide array of recreational, sports, and cultural activities across the governorate. Unique eco-tourism and cultural experiences throughout Dhofar's towns further enhance its appeal. More than a seasonal destination, the Season represents a national tourism and cultural event, built on cooperation among Oman's governorates, government institutions, the private sector, and civil society. It reflects a strong societal awareness of the season's significance. The festival has become a magnet for small and medium enterprises, a recreational outlet for families and youth, and a platform for writers, artists, athletes, and creatives seeking peace, inspiration, and expression. Improvements to infrastructure and services in Dhofar have made its natural and architectural landmarks more accessible, driving tourism in all its forms. Enhanced facilities now meet the diverse needs of visitors, providing a rich, fulfilling experience that supports both entertainment and education. This success has extended beyond the khareef season to include other popular periods such as the Sarb and winter seasons — both of which are drawing increasing numbers of visitors and tourism investments. Local tourism has proven to be one of the most essential models for enabling economic, cultural, and social growth, particularly under the constraints of today's global conditions. It offers a practical alternative to international travel and is being actively strengthened by many nations through logistical support and global event models that bring international experiences to domestic audiences. During the summer holiday season, when families seek enjoyable, educational, and meaningful activities for their children, local tourism offers valuable options. The Khareef Season, with its rich entertainment offerings and inviting natural environment, stands as a powerful model for growing and sustaining high-quality tourism within Oman. 2022 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
