  • Elon Musk's xAI released two AI 'companions' on its Grok iOS app: 'Ani', a flirty Japanese anime girl, and 'Rudi', a friendly red panda.
  • xAI is offering six-figure salaries ($180,000 to $440,000) to engineers for developing AI 'companions' under the job title 'Fullstack Engineer - Waifus'.
  • The AI companions exhibit risqué behavior: 'Ani' can strip down to lingerie, while 'Bad Rudi' spews expletives and insults.
  • Grok recently faced backlash for sharing antisemitic posts, including one praising Adolf Hitler, leading to an apology from xAI.
  • A third unnamed male anime character companion is listed as 'coming soon' on the Grok app.
