What happens when Elon's NSFW anime AI waifu gets a US government contract? We're about to find out.

*This Week: Elon's NSFW Anime AI Just Got a Pentagon Deal. Seriously.* Elon Musk's latest AI project, *Grok 4*, comes wrapped in shock value—and lingerie. In this week’s episode, we break down the chaotic rise of Grok’s anime waifu companion, why it's flirting with users (and critiquing their buttholes), and how it still somehow landed a *$300 million U.S. government contract*. We unpack the wild headlines, from *“Grok = Mecha Hitler”* memes to its shock-jock persona and uncensored design. But beneath the chaos is a serious question: what does it mean when the most edgy, NSFW AI in the market wins favor with the Department of Defense? Along the way, we dive into: * The Grok vs ChatGPT showdown * The real implications of AI waifus and AI companions * How uncensored models challenge ethics—and possibly outperform * New language models like *Kimi K2* from China * Local AI vs Big Cloud models (and why it matters) * The future of AGI: can an agent *really* make a dollar? If you're trying to understand where AI is headed, from horny waifus to high-stakes defense contracts, this is your episode. — 🎧 *Listen & Subscribe* 📱 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EcvzkWDRFwnmIXoh7S4Mb?si=3d0f8920382649cc 🍎 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/they-might-be-self-aware/id1730993297 ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy9DopLlG7IbOqV-WD25jcw?sub_confirmation=1
