He even has his own private tropical island.
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.
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.
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?
