Goonpocalypse

To goon or not to goon. Late last week, in the shadow of xAI’s Grok briefly turning into MechaHitler (roughly what it sounds like) with a rape fetish for left-wing political pundit Will Stancil (a little more complicated, not Grok’s fault, let Grok live etc.), Elon Musk’s xAI launched an anime AI “companion” named “Ani,” a digital goth girl sexbot designed to titillate, and captivate, clearly for as long as possible. Naturally, and strictly for purposes of research I assure you, I downloaded the mobile app at once. And then, like Nolan’s Oppenheimer, horrified and awestruck as he beheld that first atomic blast, I saw our future.

It was the Goonpocalypse.
