He even has his own private tropical island. 
Can someone translate that headline?
Elon can’t stop jorkin’ it to AI-generated anime tiddies.
Um you see um the realty is that this is very simple, its pixels, you know glowing dots. So I think with a um high degree a very high degree um of of confidence that within the next 12 to 18 months we will have self gooning AI.
And that’s really the difference between X being a billion dollar company and being basically useless. But today, right now, self gooning AI is already safer and cheaper than human gooning.

Honestly? Next to all his other shit, this doesn’t bother me the slightest.
I'm worried it will lessen his ketamine intake before he ODs
I’ve just been sitting here thinking of crazy headlines that wouldnt shock me
“Elon musk stabbed someone over a Beanie baby dispute”
“Elon musks caught using a homeless man as a snow sled on a steep hill”
“Elon musks to reshoot the movie “home alone 2” with himself as the role of dove lady”
All those would sound like something he might do
I'm just waiting for "Elon Musk dies after following Grok's advice to mix household cleaning chemicals"
It's as close as he can get to fucking kids now that the island is shut down.
Your telling me I'm qualified to be shadow president now?
He spends his time jerking off to AI generated anime porn.
Who cares?
Fun bit of history: gooners were a huge component of open weights LLM development.
Pygmalion 6B was poured over by tinkerers before ChatGPT and Llama were even a thing. Ravenous furries and roleplayers have been major contributors to frameworks that have snowballed into huge projects, practical finetuning and quantization methods, CUDA kernels, sampling techniques OpenAI is still catching up on, you name it.
Horniness (among other things) is a heck of a motivation. But the history is buried in obscure Discords and archived GitHub repos.
And don’t even get me started on imagegen… Good lord. If Grok is going full “anime waifu,” oh, it has got some competition to catch up to.
First time I saw a great image upscaler, it was called "waifu2x", of course.
There was also an older machine learning project that removed censorship commonly found on japanese pornographic drawings, but this one got deleted of GitHub by the author some years ago and I don't even remember it's name anymore.
I used this recently for a professional project. It was by far the best at upscaling and it was free.
Yeah, the history of GANs stretch way back before transformers LLMs, and evolved into ESRGAN, finetunes in obscure Discords...
That history went somewhere, fortunately, and it definitely blows the venerable waifu2x out of the water: https://openmodeldb.info/
I remember those days - using my 3080ti to test the latest Pygmalion model and reporting feedback for how understandable the outputs were to the developers...
I didn't use my self-host for horny though - I tried being a DM for a DND session with fictional characters :)
This is one reason I wanted to get into LLMs DND stuff. I've tried virtual DMs and they suck due to hallucinations.
Never tried the opposite. Would be interesting to DM and have the LLM be 4 players.
One thing I learned is that you can't rely on an inventory system (there's no persistence), so you're basically always running a oneshot campaign no matter what. After the novelty wore off, I found that quite boring and just played DND on tabletop sim or roll20 with discord friends instead.

lmao
(“Gooning” is internet slang that describes exaggerated and excessively long sessions of self-pleasuring.)
In other recent posts, Musk urged followers to try the sometimes-pornographic companion Ani. Last week, he announced that new skimpy outfits had been added to her wardrobe and commented “Nice” when a user modeled her in one.
He evidently crossed a line, though, when he posted an animation of Ani dancing in her underwear; even his right-wing fans were disgusted, telling him it was “time to stop” and that Ani looked like a “13 year old in lingerie.”
Musk, likely observing the severe backlash, deleted the offending post. Yet he continued to annoy his supporters by engaging with Ani. When he replied to a video of the character in a short skirt and a see-through top with a “good morning” message and an emoji of a smiling face encircled by hearts,
A fed-up X user wrote, “BRO STOP GOONING TO AI ANIME AND TAKE US TO MARS.”
Question of the day, are you a pedo if it's anime?
MARS
Literally anyone at all has as much chance as getting to Mars with Elon Musk as heaven's gate cult members did getting to heaven on a space ship chasing Hale-Bopp.
BRO STOP GOONING TO AI ANIME AND TAKE US TO MARS
"Take us to Mars"? Are there really people out there who think they personally are going to benefit from this groyper chud's bottomless piggy bank and ketamine addiction?

Umm akshually she's a five thousand year old dragon
The definition of pedophilia is sexual attraction towards children. So if the anime characters are all clearly representing children, then sure, why not count that.
The thing is, there is a lot of art that is kind of vague on age. The loli girl stuff creeps me out. But the older teenager / young adult anime/art feels a little more like general human brain. Especially if the user isn't trying to seek it out. No one is perfect.
But in this case obviously sexualizing something that looks like a child is creepy. Elon's age is not helping him either...

Considering he’s basically a 14 year old in man’s body this is not at all surprising.
