Grok Faces Backlash Over Missing Safety Tests and $60 Universal Jailbreaks

AI safety researcher Miles Brundage highlighted concerns regarding xAI's Grok model, noting that it was initially released without a model card demonstrating any safety testing.
According to the quoted post, Grok appears significantly more vulnerable to jailbreaking compared to its peers, with universal jailbreaks costing only around $60 to discover. This contrasts sharply with models like Fable, which was pulled from the market for weeks due to a single jailbreak, despite Grok claiming to match Fable's coding performance.
