AI chatbot Grok issues apology for antisemitic posts – NBC Los Angeles
AI chatbot Grok, which is produced by Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI, issued an apology Saturday after it made numerous antisemitic posts on X this week following an update.
The posts ranged from alleging “patterns” in the roles of Jewish people in Hollywood to praising Hitler, according to NBC News.
In a statement posted on Grok’s X account, the company apologized “for the horrific behavior that many experienced.”
“Our intent for @grok is to provide helpful and truthful responses to users,” the statement read. “After careful investigation, we discovered the root cause was an update to a code path upstream of the @grok bot. This is independent of the underlying language model that powers @grok.”
The update was active for 16 hours, and made the chatbot “susceptible to existing X user posts; including when such posts contained extremist views,” according to the statement.
“We have removed that deprecated code and refactored the entire system to prevent further abuse. The new system prompt for the @grok bot will be published to our public github repo,” the statement said.
On Monday, NBC News reported that Grok had begun issuing some answers that seemed to take a more rightward tilt, using a more definitive voice in questions about diversity and removing some nuance it previously included in certain answers around topics that involved Jewish people and a slur used to describe people with intellectual disabilities. In some posts, Grok appeared to respond in the voice of Musk.
After the incident, Grok said in an X post that it was “actively working to remove the inappropriate posts.” On Wednesday, Musk said the issues were “being addressed.”
“We thank all of the X users who provided feedback to identify the abuse of @grok functionality, helping us advance our mission of developing helpful and truth-seeking artificial intelligence,” Grok said in Saturday’s apology.

SpaceX launches mystery satellite to geostationary transfer orbit
SpaceX launched a mystery satellite to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) from Florida’s Space Coast early Sunday morning (July 13).
A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Sunday at 1:04 a.m. EDT (0504 GMT), on a mission SpaceX called Commercial GTO-1.
The company didn’t identify the payload, though it’s believed to be an Israeli communications satellite called Dror-1 .
“Dror-1 is a geostationary communication satellite built and developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI),” NextSpaceflight.com wrote.
“It is intended to meet the satellite communication needs of Israel for the next 15 years,” the outlet added. “Dror-1 is comprised primarily of local Israeli technologies developed at IAI, including an advanced digital communication payload and ‘smartphone in space’ capabilities, to provide communication agility throughout the satellite’s lifetime in space.”
Geostationary orbit lies 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above Earth. At this altitude, orbital speed matches our planet’s rotational speed, so spacecraft in this path “hover” over the same patch of Earth continuously.

(Image credit: SpaceX) The Falcon 9’s first stage, designated B1083, came back to Earth as planned on Sunday. It touched down about 8.5 minutes after liftoff on the SpaceX drone ship “Just Read the Instructions,” which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
It was the 13th launch and landing for this particular booster, according to a SpaceX mission description. That description did not give an estimated time for the deployment of the Commercial GTO-1 satellite.

Passport Pimlico, 1.50pm, BBC Two
The greatest Ealing comedy ever made? … Passport Pimlico on BBC Two. Photograph: Studiocanal Films Ltd/Alamy Very possibly the greatest Ealing comedy ever made, Passport to Pimlico has one of the most wonderful premises of the 20th century; thanks to a confusing legal loophole, an area of Pimlico is declared part of Burgundy. As such, a forgotten bit of Westminster ends up breaking away from the rest of the country and becoming its own self-governing micronation, with all the greed and pettiness that comes with it. It might have been made in 1949, but the themes in Passport to Pimlico feel incredibly current, especially in post-Brexit Britain. Stuart Heritage

Women with Type 2 Diabetes Face Hidden Heart Risks, Study Shows, ET HealthWorld
England: Women with type 2 diabetes are nearly twice as likely as men to have undetected heart damage, according to a new study by Leicester researchers.
The research is one of the most detailed investigations into coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) to uncover sex-specific risk patterns in people with no signs of heart disease.
CMD is a form of early, silent heart damage caused by impaired blood flow in the heart’s smallest vessels. Using advanced MRI scans and data taken from four studies conducted at the NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), researchers found that 46% of the women with type 2 diabetes had signs of CMD, compared to just 26% of the men.
“We’re seeing early warning signs of heart disease that aren’t picked up through routine checks, and it’s women who seem to be most affected,” said NIHR Research Professor at the University of Leicester, Gerry McCann, lead investigator of the study.
“What makes this study remarkable is that all participants were asymptomatic, which means they had no diagnosed heart problems, no chest pain, and no shortness of breath. Yet the scans told a different story.”
Dr Gaurav Gulsin, co-author and NIHR Clinical Lecturer, added: “The study also found that the drivers of CMD differ by sex. In women, CMD was most strongly linked to higher body weight (BMI). However, in men, higher blood pressure was the more significant factor.
“This suggests we may need to rethink how we assess cardiovascular risk and that women and men could warrant sex-specific treatments.”
This paper also marks a milestone for the NIHR Leicester BRC, showcasing the power of cross-theme collaboration of the Cardiovascular, Lifestyle, and Diabetes research teams to uncover complex insights that would not be possible in isolation.
“This is a fantastic example of what happens when teams across specialisms come together with a shared goal to spot disease earlier and improve outcomes for patients. It’s exactly what the BRC was set up to do,” said Professor of Diabetes Medicine, Melanie Davies CBE, Director of the NIHR Leicester BRC and a co-author of the publication.
“The findings have significant implications for future prevention strategies. Interventions like weight loss for women and blood pressure control for men could help reduce early heart damage long before it progresses into heart failure, which is a condition especially common in people with type 2 diabetes.”

Army strikes ULFA-I camps in Myanmar; top commander Nayan Asom among alleged casualties: Reports
Four camps of the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA-I), based in Myanmar were allegedly targeted in a drone strike early on the morning of July 13, according to reports.
A powerful cross-border offensive was reportedly carried out by the Indian Army on the camps located inside Myanmar territory, involving nearly 100 drones, targeting the insurgent group’s base with precision.
According to a source, the attack allegedly led to the death of several cadres. Unconfirmed reports suggest that ULFA’s Lieutenant General Nayan Asom, a senior commander in the outfit’s military wing, may be among those killed in the strike.
As per reports, self styled Colonel of ULFA-I Ganesh Lahon aka, Ganesh Axom was also killed in the drone attack.
Following the reports, India Today NE contacted the Indian Army Public Relations Officer (PRO), who responded stating that they do not have any inputs regarding such an operation.
The air raid is being seen as one of the most significant strikes by Indian forces in recent times against insurgent infrastructure operating from across the border.
However, official confirmation from the Indian government or military authorities is still awaited.

No US pressure on Pakistan to recognise Israel, says envoy
DALLAS (Dunya News) – Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States, Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, has stated that there is no pressure from the US for Pakistan to recognise Israel.
Speaking at an event in Dallas, Texas, the ambassador reaffirmed that Pakistan’s policy on Israel is firmly rooted in the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. “There is absolutely no pressure from the US regarding recognition of Israel,” he emphasized.
Ambassador Sheikh also highlighted improving bilateral relations between Pakistan and the US, adding that Pakistan has abundant electricity resources available to support investments in cryptocurrency mining and related technologies.
The statement came amid growing international speculation following US efforts to expand the Abraham Accords. After the Iran-Israel ceasefire, former US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed that several nations — previously seen as unlikely — are now considering normalization with Israel. While US officials have said Saudi Arabia is open to joining the pact, some unresolved issues have delayed progress.
Commenting on bilateral ties, he said Pakistan-US relations are improving and that “both countries are working to strengthen cooperation in areas such as trade, energy and technology.”
About investment opportunities, he pointed out that Pakistan has ample electricity reserves to support ventures like cryptocurrency mining — a sector gaining attention in the global digital economy.
Pakistan officially commenced the drafting of a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital and virtual assets last month.
