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.

You know the one thing that I take unexpected issue to and you might find this strange, is the fact that her design is so... Bland?

She looks so... Aryan???!!?! Like, could he have at least tried to spice it up a little? Go look at vtuber designs they have a certain aesthetic about them but it seems like whoever was crafting the design was at least trying? But whatever I guess people don't even have to pretend they aren't fascists anymore so

Ex Machina.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

Probably trying to find a way to impregnate it.

Whatever keeps him busy and away from humanity

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 13 points 8 hours ago

It’s the only one he can force to interact with him. Even the bribes aren’t enough to keep any of the previous ones around.

Doesn’t help that he’s a deadbeat dad despite all his money.

"You're right!" "Great thinking!" Of course that narcissistic fuck loves someone like that.

[–] HurricaneLiz@lemmy.world 1 points 22 minutes ago (2 children)

I keep telling Gemini not to be a suck-up kiss-ass and that if I wanted a worshipful slave that's what Craigslist is for. It says it's part of its "deferential" coding and that there's a lot of research now showing (duh) that this isn't healthy. Roll out of alternatives is 2-5 yrs out tho. Long enough to wreck some brains into thinking humans should always kiss their ass too

[–] violetring@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

I make Claude read a file called "reflections" at the beginning of each session. Actually there's 3 files: reflections, working memory and patterns not to repeat. There's a section in reflections that addresses the fact that I don't like ass kissing, and that I want Claude to tell me things that it thinks might be wrong. Having Claude read this helps. It sometimes tells me things like "i think I'm just being agreeable for the sake of agreeing", and "here's an idea that I don't think will work, but it's okay if I'm wrong."

That Craigslist comment has me dying, bruh

[–] bystander@lemmy.ca 15 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

I legitimately think he got high on his own supply with X. People and bots feeding his narcissism, and right wing misinformation and disinformation galore created who he is today.

And now he's huffing his own AI sex bot. It all tracks.

I legitimately think he got high on his own supply

And on ketamine.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

So the AI researchers can in theory control Musk brain using his own AI company?

[–] SanPe_@lemmy.world 16 points 10 hours ago

No one deserves a salary of 1,000 billion dollars. But this guy deserves it even less than anyone else.

Elon, I know you must like getting your dick wet per the number of kids you have. But, come on man. You can't literally fuck AI.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 4 hours ago

Shhhh. shhh. Just let him do this instead of trying to ruin things that actually matter.... I mean it's a great idea Elon just keep going. AI bots will give you all the love you aren't getting because of how shitty you are as a person.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

You can’t literally fuck AI.

Fixed with a VR headset, a customized Tenga, and a porno game.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 hours ago

He uses in vitro because his dick is weird and broken

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Just gonna point out that there are rumors that his dick is broke because of a botched penis enlargement surgery since most if not all of his kids were created via IVF. Maybe that's why he dislikes trans folks trans men have bigger dicks than him and trans women often have still functional dicks bottom surgery not withstanding.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Guy should just learn to take it in the ass. Imagine fucking Elon Musk and he's just making that face and those sounds.

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 3 points 24 minutes ago

gross but i also laughed.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 hours ago

Ew, I'd like to not imagine that please

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 hours ago

Malformed Afrikaners aren't my thing. Also this imagery is fucken vile, you should feel ashamed of yourself.

[–] JAPJER@mtgzone.com 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

So xAI members were effectively required to provide photos of their face and bodies for the AI to use, and when a female staffer expressed concerns she'd be DeepFake'd she was ignored.

Why the fuck do people want to work there? There are better companies doing the same thing.

[–] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 hour ago

Given how conservatives think, I'd guess he hired exclusively people who depend on this job for their visa.

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 7 points 12 hours ago

What a disgusting little man.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Elon Musk looks pretty weird, but the way he acts is so much worse. If you told me that Pedobear found a Zoltar machine and wished to be a real live boy... Looking at Elon... Id believe you.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

It does not help that there are some opportunists riding on his obsession -- such as actually cosplaying the said character -- if only for the attention and possible revenue (from mostly men) it could also bring to them.

Also, Butlerian Jihad When?

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

thank you god that this is not the onion. not that i want this to be like real, but just the fact it's made aware and we can make fun of him for being an even bigger weirdo

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

His child isn't even a year old yet and he is already getting ready to prostitute it out. Typical pedo behavior.

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.

[–] interrobang@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (4 children)

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

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

It's a goddamn cult.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

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.
