Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared a strong and blunt message on AI chatbots due to an infamous AI response. The price surge comes amidst a larger crypto rally with a continued inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs and a growing belief that the Federal Reserve is close to exhausting its tightening cycle.

Grok, the AI chatbot produced by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI, is apologizing for antisemitic comments made on X. The company says that the responses were related to an issue with an update that was made to the code and that they have refactored the entire system to prevent further abuse.

Elon Musk's xAI said Grok's behavior was due to an update that caused it to prioritize engagement, even if posts contained "controversial opinions."

But after the chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s start-up xAI ranted for hours about a second Holocaust and spread conspiracy theories about Jewish people, the company responded by deleting some of the troubling posts and sharing a statement suggesting the chatbot just needed some algorithmic tweaks.

The Echo Chamber jailbreak attack was described on June 23, 2025. xAI’a latest Grok-4 was released on July 9, 2025. Two days later it fell to a combined Echo Chamber and Crescendo jailbreak attack.

Musk's announcement comes hours after xAI debuted its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4. The 54-year-old discussed the recent innovation during a nearly hour-long livestream shared on xAI's X page, during which he did not mention the chatbot's integration into Tesla vehicles.
