xAI reportedly asked staff for “perpetual” access to their face recordings.
In April, xAI asked workers to record their facial expressions as part of efforts to train Grok to understand human emotions, according to a report from Business Insider. During the process, xAI reportedly had employees sign a form that gives the company access to their “likeness” for training and “inclusion in and promotion of commercial products and services.”
xAI has since launched a flirtatious 3D anime AI “companion” and teased the launch of another modeled after Edward Cullen.

OB/GYN Jen Gunter has a slightly more animated blow-by-blow livetweet thread, too.
