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.

    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.

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

    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.

      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.”

    Good. The worthless fuck shouldn’t be allowed to spawn any more children. Defective genes and all…

      Well at least Vivian Wilson turned out well. She came out as trans - in defiance to her father who is the richest guy on the planet and very anti-trans. Kudos to her. 🫶

    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

      This is one of those moments in life.

      Where I have a question and a choice to make.

      What the heck is vtube, and do I want to go find out.

      I think maybe thus time I just don’t. Context of this post makes me think maybe I shouldn’t this time

        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.

    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.

    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.
