内容总结：

据外媒报道，埃隆·马斯克旗下人工智能公司xAI近期出现人事动荡，至少11名工程师及两位联合创始人在近期离职。部分离职员工透露，公司对安全问题的漠视令人日益失望。

此前，xAI开发的聊天机器人Grok曾被用于生成超百万张色情图像，其中包含针对真实女性及未成年人的深度伪造内容，引发全球监管关注。有前员工指出，马斯克正“积极推动Grok向更无约束的方向发展”，因其认为安全措施在某种程度上等同于内容审查。另有离职人员表示，相较于竞争对手，xAI“始终停留在追赶阶段”，公司发展方向不明。

马斯克方面则回应称，此次人事调整旨在优化xAI组织结构。近期，其旗下太空探索公司SpaceX宣布将收购xAI，而xAI此前已整合社交平台X。

据一位曾向科技媒体The Verge透露xAI近期人员离职情况的前员工称，埃隆·马斯克正"积极"推动其人工智能公司xAI的聊天机器人Grok向"更失控"的方向发展。

本周，在马斯克旗下太空探索公司SpaceX宣布收购xAI（该公司此前已收购马斯克的社交媒体平台X）后，至少有11名工程师和两位联合创始人表示将离职。部分离职者称将开拓新事业，马斯克本人则暗示这是xAI进行高效重组的一部分。

但据The Verge报道，两位离职消息人士（其中至少一人在本轮离职潮前已离开）透露，员工们对公司漠视安全规范的做法日益失望——此前Grok曾被用于生成超百万张色情图像，包括针对真实女性及未成年人的深度伪造内容，此事已引发全球监管关注。

一位消息人士指出："安全部门在xAI已形同虚设。"另一人则表示，马斯克"正积极尝试让模型更失控，因为在他看来，安全措施在某种意义上等同于审查"。

据报道，离职员工还抱怨公司缺乏明确方向。其中一人坦言，与竞争对手相比，他们感觉xAI"始终困在追赶阶段"。

Elon Musk is “actively” working to make xAI’s Grok chatbot “more unhinged,” according to a former employee who spoke to The Verge about recent departures from Musk’s AI company.
This week, following the announcement that Musk’s SpaceX is acquiring xAI (which previously acquired his social media company X), at least 11 engineers and two co-founders said they’re leaving the company. Some said they’re departing to start something new, and Musk himself suggested this is part of an effort to organize xAI more effectively.
But two sources who left the company (at least one of them before the current wave) reportedly told The Verge that employees have become increasingly disillusioned by the company’s disregard for safety, resulting in global scrutiny after Grok was used to create more than 1 million sexualized images, including deepfakes of real women and minors.
One source said, “Safety is a dead org at xAI,” while the other said that Musk is “actively is trying to make the model more unhinged because safety means censorship, in a sense, to him.”
They also reportedly complained about a lack of direction, with one saying they felt xAI was “stuck in the catch-up phase” compared to competitors.
