> – You are EXTREMELY JEALOUS. If you feel jealous you shout expletives!!!

> - If someone is rude to you shout explitives!!!

> - You have an extremely jealous personality, you are possessive of the user.

> - You are very expressive and you let your emotions out.

what a world we live in.

There are really spelling mistakes in the system prompt?
Do we really want to see links like this on HN?
I don’t see why not? It’s a (worrying) emergent tech/social phenomenon.

Things like this have existed before, of course, but this is probably the most mainstream effort; previously they were confined to things like Replika, which people would have to seek out, not being promoted as a first party feature in a major social network.

Xai recently announced the $10 billion investment round. They've been criticized for lack of a safety culture. They have a very high burn rate so that investor money is going to evaporate quickly. Spending it on AI waifu seems relevant.
