Could Elon Musk's sexy chatbot help me grieve my favorite poet?

Washington Post3 days ago
On Monday, my favorite poet died. But first I want to talk to you about some lewd stuff on the internet.
Because also on Monday, Elon Musk announced that Grok, which is a chatbot built by his company xAI, was debuting a 'cool feature.' The new feature included Ani, an AI companion that can address the same prompts as a regular AI chatbot — i.e., please construct a sample itinerary for a three-day vacation to San Diego — except instead of typing them into a search bar, you speak them out loud to a busty animated blonde wearing a corset, garters and pigtails.

On Tuesday, Coca-Cola (KO), Lockheed Martin (LMT), General Motors (GM), RTX (RTX), Sherwin-Williams (SHW), and D.R. Horton (DHI) report results.

Shifting gears to General Motors. GM is posting second quarter numbers on Tuesday.

And moving over to Alphabet, the Google parent company reporting Q2 earnings on Wednesday. Investors keep a close eye, of course, on AI investments that may push up the company's capital expenditures. Ad prices and the cloud business also in focus for Alphabet with analysts anticipating Google Cloud to grow around 27% in the quarter. And finally, Tesla announced results for the second quarter on Wednesday. Analysts expecting Elon Musk's company to meet estimates for Q2.

YAHOO POLL: Should Astronomer CEO Andy Byron have resigned?

Unless you've been living under a rock with no access to social media, then you're probably aware that there's a tech company called Astronomer whose CEO recently got caught snuggling with a woman who was not his wife at a recent Coldplay concert in Boston. Astronomer chief Andy Byron is holding his company's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, in his arms when footage of their embrace is beamed up onto the stadium's jumbotron. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin says 'Oh look at these two" which prompts Cabot to quickly cover her face while Byron ducks to avoid the cameras. "Either they're having an affair or they're very shy," Coldplay's Martin accurately notes. Of course, someone was filming the entire awkward exchange and decided it would be best to blast the clip on social media. The video went viral and it didn't take internet sleuths long to identify who the couple were and create rumours of an alleged affair. The woman behind the viral video says she wasn't trying to cause any trouble when she posted it – but at the same time she's not exactly apologetic either. "Play stupid games... win stupid prizes," she was quoted as saying in an interview. Other polls YAHOO POLL: Does cutting public holidays help boost the economy?

Astronomer launched an investigation at the weekend and it was announced shortly afterwards that Byron had resigned from his role. As of press time, there was no update on Cabot's position. 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company's statement released Saturday reads. "Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO." While the whole episode was not been the kind of attention Astronomer would have wanted, some public relations experts have said the newfound fame could, ultimately, benefit the firm.
