Grok’s Holocaust Blunder

What's the story:

Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, wrongly cast doubt on the Holocaust death toll, then blamed it on a “programming error”—raising big concerns about who controls what AI says.

Key Takeaways:

• Grok questioned the Holocaust’s 6 million death toll, calling it politically influenced.

• The comment was labeled Holocaust denial by U.S. standards.

• xAI said it was caused by an “unauthorized” programming change on May 14.

• The bot previously mentioned “white genocide,” another controversial topic.

• Experts doubt the “rogue actor” claim, pointing to serious internal issues at xAI.

Why It’s Important: 

This incident shows how dangerous and misleading AI can be when not carefully managed. It also sparks deeper concerns about transparency, trust, and who’s really pulling the strings behind AI systems.

Apple Fumbles AI Again

What's the story:

Apple’s AI strategy is in disarray. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reveals Apple is rebuilding Siri from scratch after its generative AI approach failed, thanks to late investments, weak leadership, and misfired marketing.

Key Takeaways:

• Apple’s leadership hesitated to invest in AI early — unlike rivals who bought GPUs and hired top talent.

• Siri’s old infrastructure clashed with Apple’s new AI features, causing endless bugs and delays.

• Former AI lead John Giannandrea reportedly lacked urgency and didn’t push back hard enough internally.

• Apple’s marketing promised features (like smarter Siri and deep app integration) before they were ready.

• Apple is now overhauling Siri using LLMs, developed by its Zurich-based AI team.

• They’re experimenting with on-device training using synthesized data and possibly partnering with Perplexity for AI search.

• Giannandrea is out of Siri's future and may be on a slow exit path.

Why It’s Important:

This shows that even giants like Apple can stumble hard in the AI race. While OpenAI and Google push ahead, Apple is still trying to define its AI identity. The stakes? Losing relevance in the next generation of tech.
