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.

    His pay is in stock, which he has heavily leveraged with loans. He should talk to his girlfriend about leveraging a house of cards.

    He actually makes no money he just borrows against his perceived value from some pretty dumb banks.

    Stop saying he doesn't make money when he clearly do.

    He's only owning industries, that's not cash!!

    He gets money but it's loans against his industries so it doesn't count!!

    Grrr...

    I yet have to see a billionaire goung bankrupt.

    Why do you try to protect people like that from public outcry? He bathes in blood money, and if one day it ends or he has to "pay back loans" or whatever, who cares?

    Your post sounds like you explaining his boots has an amazing flavour.

    27 famous figures who went bankrupt https://share.google/n61bsvOqXfg8MPBi0

    I understand you are ignorant of the way finance works at this scale, but there is a long list of Billionaires who went to bankrupt because of over leveraging and fraud.

    Madoff, Holmes, ...and they all left a wake of bankrupt investors.

    Fair enough.

    Thanks for the 4 billionaires that eventually went down the drain, when I guess a hundred new ones were created.

    In the same vein, even if "elon goes down" the core problem still exists. And I'll eat my hat if he finishes broke under a bridge lol.

    IMO you are attacking something that is just the tesult of the problem, not the problem itself.

    I have this theory that Elon Musk has only every experienced real love in his entire life. Think about it, who is he surrounded by? His parents (lol) servants, business partners, employees, etc. Every relationship has been transactional. He dated Grimes, who is a relatively normal person, who treated him like a regular partner. When they broke up, he got mad at everything he was when they were together. But more importantly, he has been trying to convince himself that this thing wasn't real, because he can't buy it

    Let's change more convinced to fully convinced. Tesla employees were allegedly sharing intimate images and videos captured from their cars in private group chats (emphasis plural), which means that stuff has been on multiple file servers since 2019.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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."

    They're fine, no worse than anyone else who streams games on Twitch or whatever.

    The thing is that "Grok" or whatever he's calling it is just the blandest design ever.

    Characters like this (typically) have some amount of flair or recognizable style.

    Meanwhile, Musk's virtual sex doll is basically just "Caricature of an Aryan woman" because he's an idiot and couldn't be more transparent and is appealing to the worst people in society.
