The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

Grok saw that your child was reading a webpage associated with questionable material.

Grok recommend withholding food or sensory stimulation as punishment.

Grok will report your dedication or lack thereof to the moral meta-calculus monitor.

Grok has educated your child on the Singularity and prepared them for departure.

At least they won't illegally collect data on the kids though... right?

I'm not sure grimes should be allowed to interact with children, even by proxy.

What could possible go wrong!

I loved the news about ChatGPT not wanting to do boring tasks anymore. Obviously no one knows why!

This is the best summary I could come up with:


For decades, movies, TV shows and books have imagined a world where human beings form deep personal bonds with creations powered by artificial intelligence.

Canadian musician Claire Boucher, known as Grimes and the mother of three of Elon Musk’s children, is an investor in and adviser to the company, and she will provide the toy’s voice.

“Every [change] in technology unlocks new forms of entertainment,” said Sam Eaton, president and chief toy maker at Curio, who was previously an engineer at Roblox, the gaming platform.

“Parents always want to buy their kids things that will help them learn and grow, which will make smart AI toys even more popular,” Contrive Datum Insights said in a LinkedIn post about its research.

The toy won’t collect or store any voice data, and storage of the transcripts will comply with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the company says.

The company has attracted seed-stage investment from Grimes as well as technologists including Daniel Gross and Nat Friedman, the former CEO of GitHub.
