As of Friday, both Grok 3 and its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/elon-musk-grok-4-power-hitler\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recently released<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> upgrade Grok 4 \u2014 which Musk boasted will discover &#8220;new technologies&#8221; and even &#8220;new physics&#8221; just days after the chatbot <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/grok-elon-relationship-jeffrey-epstein\">self-identified as its creator<\/a> to explain why he&#8217;d visited the home of notorious sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein \u2014 now appear on GSA Advantage, an online marketplace where federal agencies shop for products and services. Sources also told\u00a0<em>Wired\u00a0<\/em>that the Carahsoft contract had been updated\u00a0earlier this week to include xAI, Musk&#8217;s AI company that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offers the chatbot.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s a pretty fortuitous reversal of fortunes. As <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wired <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a style=\"cursor: pointer !important; user-select: none !important;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/xai-grok-government-contract-hitler\/\">previously reported<\/a>, xAI lost out on a massive government contract that the GSA had made with its competitors like OpenAI and Google after Grok suddenly went off the rails in one of the most spectacular meltdowns in the history of the AI industry. In a psychotic posting spree, the bot espoused Nazism, shared rape fantasies, hinted at a second Holocaust, and memorably <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">styled itself as &#8220;MechaHitler.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The deal was on the verge of going through before that, and Grok was even added to the GSA&#8217;s Multiple Award Schedule, its long-term contracting program, in late June. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once its edgelord posting spree made headlines a little over a week later, though, it was removed from the contract offering \u2014 but not straight away. GSA employees were baffled at how, at first, their higher-ups\u00a0were still strangely enthusiastic about deploying the AI, fresh off of its Nazi crash out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The week after Grok went MechaHitler, [GSA leadership] was like &#8216;Where are we on Grok?'&#8221; a\u00a0GSA employee told <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wired <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in previous reporting. &#8220;We were like, &#8216;Do you not read a newspaper?'&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wouldn&#8217;t be until early August that Grok would be kicked to the curb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That the decision has now been overturned is<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> hardly surprising. It was more was more surprising that an agency under an openly &#8220;anti-woke&#8221; Trump administration would turn up its nose up an AI model being <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">racist in the first place, for the brief period that it did press &#8220;pause.&#8221; Since Trump took office, numerous agencies have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/the-us-army-is-using-camogpt-to-purge-dei-from-training-materials\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">embraced using AI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help conduct its <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/the-byte\/trump-nasa-purge-mentions-women\">purge of DEI<\/a> and any other traces of &#8220;woke&#8221; content and policies in government. The administration <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/pentagon-ai-delete-woke\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blamed AI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for deleting a page dedicated to Black baseball legend Jackie Robison,for instance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, yes.
