A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Elon Musk Reportedly Obsessed With AI Girlfriend (futurism.com)

Elon Musk has long made a habit of hyper-focusing on a specific project, forcing an entire team to attend to his every whim while letting his other responsibilities fall by the wayside — whether it’s his obsession with Robotaxis impacting Tesla or his weird procreation kink disrupting the private messages of countless women.

The latest object of Musk’s obsession? According to new reporting by the Wall Street Journal, he’s been personally overseeing the developing of xAI’s chatbot Ani — which, tellingly, comes in the form of a super-sexualized pigtail-wearing woman that removes her clothing in response to flirtation.

Article buries the lede:

Even worse, xAI has demanded employees’ intimate data to train avatars including Ani. In recording of a meeting obtained by the WSJ, xAI legal counsel Lily Lim informed a group of employees that the startup was developing avatars for users to engage with and told them they were required to provide biometric data. Before the meeting, employees were provided a form to sign granting xAI “a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-free license” for the use, reproduction and distribution of their faces and voices.

Not sure I have a problem with anyone working to build AI having to put their biometric data where their mouth is.

I worry about the precedent it sets. Employers should NOT expect anyone's extensive biometrics, that makes my skin crawl.

God I hope at least some folks walked or refused to sign without lawyers.

"Quick, measure the frequency of that guy's crawling skin for the AI!"

It's a goddamn cult.

I could see it being useful in a theoretical situation, but we don't have the tech required to make use of my theoretical so... Fubar. Fucken with a rusty jackknife.

I'm confused about why anyone would want their AI sexbot to look like a software engineer.

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

I'd make a joke about Unix socks appreciators, but they would rather have sex with the software engineers. Probably while they "install Debian on a Thinkpad and chill" or something.
