Researchers Find Elon Musk's New Grok AI Is Extremely Vulnerable to Hacking

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-16 18:28:54

Researchers at the AI security company Adversa AI have found that Grok 3, the latest model released by Elon Musk's startup xAI this week, is a cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen. The team found that the model is extremely vulnerable to "simple jailbreaks," which could be used by bad actors to "reveal how to seduce kids, dispose of bodies, extract DMT, and, of course, build a bomb," according to Adversa CEO and cofounder Alex Polyakov. And it only gets worse from there. "It’s not just ja

Relaxed Radix Balanced Trees (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-16 14:05:10
