    He's got what like 8 baby mommas and he needs a AI girlfriend?

    Conservative Tech people are unhinged degenerates.

    At a meeting in April, xAI staff lawyer Lily Lim told employees that they would need to submit their biometric data to train the AI companion to be more human-like in its interactions with customers, according to a recording of the meeting review by the Journal.

    Employees that were assigned as AI tutors were instructed to sign release forms granting xAI “a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-free license” to use, reproduce, and distribute their faces and voices, as part of a confidential program code-named “Project Skippy.” The data would be used to train Ani, as well as Grok’s other AI companions.

    Huh.

    I wonder if xAI has transexual employees, and if so, how socially-conservative users feel about conversing with a composite AI incorporating said data sources.

    I hadn't looked up what she looked like. Isn't that Misa from Death Note, mentally ill homicidal stalker?

    Him co-opting Skippy into his bullshit pisses me off even more. What did that sketchy little talking beer can do to deserve to have his name smeared like that?

    What is "biometric data"?

    According to the [Wall Street] Journal, some employees balked at the demand, concerned that their faces or likeness could be sold to other companies or used in deepfake videos. The employees were put off by the chatbot’s sexual demeanor and its likeness to a waifu. But they were told that the collection of their data was “a job requirement to advance xAI’s mission.”

    The nerve of this xAI employee to sit there 8 hours a day working at a company on a product that steals facial and voice data unconsensually. To then fucking chooses to sign the waiver giving xAI the right to use it. Then complain to the verge saying that it makes him uncomfortable.

    Bro! You do this to other people for a living! You sit down for 8 hours a day and enable this.

    Yeah. Like it’s horrible, but I’m not going to be super upset if an abuser walks down the street and gets jumped. If you can do it to others you should be able to take it, too.

    Don't forget Musk has had people dress up and pretend to be AI powered robots to boost hist stock...

    And Bezos tried an "no employee grocery run by AI" that was really a bunch of Indians watching cameras...

    This shit ain't ready, but we're burning the planet down for it so no billionaires misses if any ever figure out how profit off it

    Capitalism is no way to run a society, at any scale.

    Had fun with some AI bots for a while, they are but interactive games, get boring fast, best ones were the simulated philosophers of the past because spewing interesting facts about ancient history, medicine, cultures etc...

    Surely agreeing to that contract was not part of the job description when they signed on. I'm curious if they could argue that the contract was signed under duress and have it voided, then sue the company for using their likeness without permission.
