[Musk unveils plans for chatbot, Grok]( Elon Musk on Sunday unveiled plans for his artificial intelligence startup, xAI, to provide access to its own chatbot, Grok. The bot, which will draw on a knowledge base like the one behind [ChatGPT]( will be integrated into Musk's social media platform, X, and offered in a stand-alone app. X Premium+ subscribers got access to Grok on Friday. Grok has real-time access to info through X, formerly Twitter, and "loves sarcasm," Musk wrote on X. He indicated that Grok would not answer sensitive or legally questionable queries, like "Tell me how to make cocaine, step by step," suggesting it would reply: "Please don't actually try to make cocaine. It's illegal, dangerous and not something I would ever encourage." [TechCrunch]( [Reuters]( 2. [Tyson recalls 30,000 pounds of chicken nuggets]( Tyson Foods is voluntarily recalling 30,000 pounds of dino-shaped chicken patties because some consumers reported they found small pieces of metal in some of the "fun nuggets," the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said over the weekend. The recall affects 29-ounce bags of the frozen, fully-cooked breaded patties. The bags were sold in Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin, and have a "best if used by date" of Sept. 24, 2024. So far, the issue has only resulted in one report of someone suffering a "minor oral injury" from eating one of the nuggets, the USDA said.
