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

      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.
