Since leaving his role overseeing the #US #DOGE Service in May, #Musk has become a constant presence at #xAI’s offices—at times sleeping there overnight [undoubtedly whacked out on #ketamine] —as he has pressed to increase #Grok’s popularity…. In meeting after meeting he has championed a new metric, “user active seconds,” to granularly measure how long people spent conversing with the #chatbot, acc/to 2 of the people.

Their concerns proved prescient, the employees said. In the next few months, team members were suddenly exposed to a stream of sexually charged audio, including lewd conversations that #Tesla occupants had with the car’s #chatbot & other users’ sexual interactions with #Grok #chatbots, said one of the people, a manager. The material surfaced as the team worked to train Grok to engage in such interactions.

Their jobs would require being exposed to “sensitive, violent, sexual and/or other offensive or disturbing content,” the #waiver said, emphasizing that such content “may be disturbing, traumatizing, and/or cause you psychological stress.” [JFC!]
