Core Insights - The analysis report from Cornell University researchers indicates that Elon Musk's online encyclopedia "Grokipedia" has significant issues with its content sources, including 42 citations from the neo-Nazi site Stormfront [1][3] - Grokipedia has been found to reference conspiracy theory site Infowars 34 times and white nationalist site VDare 107 times, which are considered unreliable by experts [3] - The study analyzed over 880,000 entries on Grokipedia, revealing 12,522 citations from sources deemed to have very low credibility, which is three times the frequency of similar citations in Wikipedia [3] Content Source Issues - Approximately 5.5% of Grokipedia articles contain at least one source listed on the English Wikipedia's blacklist [3] - Unlike Wikipedia's community-driven model, Grokipedia employs a centralized editing process controlled by Musk's AI company xAI, lacking transparency in its review process [3][4] - Users can submit editing suggestions, but the final decision rests with xAI, with feedback provided through "Grok feedback" notifications [3] Unique Findings - Grokipedia includes 1,050 citations that link directly to user conversations with the Grok chatbot on social platform X, raising concerns about the reliability of these sources [4] - In one instance, Grokipedia cited a user request for the chatbot to "dig up dirt" on a Belgian politician as a source [4] - Musk and xAI have not responded to the analysis, and the study is currently a preprint, pending peer review [4]

Grok4.1刚刷完榜就被Gemini 3反超，马斯克确实坐不住了！ 虽然大大方方地给Gemini 3送去了祝福，但另一边老马却开始紧急筹钱—— 据华尔街日报最新爆料，xAI正计划新一轮150亿美元（约1067亿人民币）融资，公司估值也将来到2300亿美元（约1.6万亿人民币）。 2300亿，这个数字比马斯克今年3月披露的1130亿美元估值（xAI与X合并后估值），翻了一倍不止。 以至于网友们纷纷感慨，马斯克还是太超前了，我等凡人不懂~ 甚至，对比起OpenAI这样的增长怪兽，xAI的估值飙升速度也是让人咂舌。 毕竟OpenAI手上有着ChatGPT这样的全球爆款应用，每个月光是订阅费就能为OpenAI带来2亿多美元收入。 而xAI的核心产品Grok，目前仍深度捆绑在X（原Twitter）的生态之内，其用户规模和商业影响力，与前者显然不在一个量级。 AI热潮，由此可见一斑。 一览xAI融资情况 还是先说说xAI此轮曝出的新融资。 据华尔街日报透露，相关融资细节是由马斯克的财富经理Jared Birchall曝出的，但目前尚不清楚2300亿美元是投前还是投后估值，以及也没有说明资金用 途。 有意思的是，大约上周 ...
