We're reaching dot com boom era levels of absurdity.

They named their startup "Joi".

It has to be a joke.

[-] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Jack off instruction ai sounds like the perfect name for what they are. Now the validity of the idea is another thing and unless they have some super shady plans like creating a mind controlled army of masturbators to start robbing banks and sending them the money I don't know how this would ever make money.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Maybe sell the data to religious organizations so they know which porn to lobby against?

Just off the top of my head.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 5 points 1 day ago

Do they do overtime?

[-] furzegulo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 57 points 2 days ago

Can't participate, AI is a massive turn-off.

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago

"Hey claude, should i jork it?"
"Yes"
"Bitchin'"

"Oh Claude I'm gonna cum"

"You're absolutely right!"

[-] beep@piefed.world 22 points 2 days ago

Downvoted because it's an obvious stunt to make people provide free advertising for the company.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Free advertising? Sounds like it costs about $2000/month.

[-] beep@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago

They don't actually have to hire anyone thou?

... mood-matched AI voice-guided sessions ...

"I'll have the Captain Picard tonight!"

"Look lively there, Ensign! Being first at any cost is not always the point! What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived! If we’re going to be damned, let’s be damned for what we really are! There are four lights! Maximum warp! Live now! Make now always the most precious time! Now will never come again! Lay in a course! Make it so!"

Can't get job because I have been automated

Can't buy computer because it's needed for datacenter

Can't watch movies because they're AI generated

Can't drink water because datacenter needs it

Can't turn on lights cause AI needs more electricity

Can't go outside because generators poisoned the air

Can't cum because goon-gpt hallucinated that I am into denial

Can I hire somebody $500 per month to do it for me?

[-] Meruten@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago

Sugar babies are probably more expensive than 500 a month. Although things like this probably depend on a lot of factors.

[-] Babalugats@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

I'm sure i could find somebody to take 5 minutes out of their day, 7 times a day for around $16 per day.

I think that commissioning JOI scripts to someone who knows about pacing and then commissioning voice actors would be cheaper

The main sign that AI is really a failure is the lack of AI porn. Where is the porn we were promised?

If making good content was possible with AI, that industry would have done it already.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

you don't look at much porn, do you?

Oh, it's there, I assure you

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Links please. For research purposes of course

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

its largely sitting in rp thingies and such.

currently, training a video gen model on corn is simply too expensive, and tech companies like openai and alibaba would rather not train on it, as it costs them extra thousands to train a type of video which is restricted to be generated anyway.

data curation has become one of the pillows improving models performance lately.

Where is the porn we were promised?

If you're curious, just give a plain web search for "AI porn". You'll get all kinds of hits.

I mean, seriously, have you not heard of any of it?

  • LLMs can write erotica
  • There was all kinds of news about DeepFake nudes
  • AI-based image generation tools can produce porn in realistic or hentai styles
  • There's also AI-based video generation, and all kinds of materials for it to have been trained on.

I'm surprised that you're making this comment, and I'm surprised so many people upvoted it...

The job only lasts a month. What ever happened to investing in a stable workforce!?

I want to know more about meeting this hat man, how does that work?

For a friend.

Eat a handful of benadry, you'll meet the hat man and his shadow buddies

See you all losers I'm going to be the first trillionaire

Masturbating with AI would be hard and not in the way that they hope.
