I want to agree about quality and I’m sure they’re up to something yet to be known, but Grimes and Shivon aren’t low on the totum pole intellect wise. In listening to both (Grimes on Lex Fridman/Shivon has a YouTube presentation for Musk’s company) neither are airheads. They’re both insanely accomplished and likely a match to him for good and bad mentally (more so than Amber, who almost seems like test run) This ought to be interesting (and creepy) going ahead to say the least.

Yes, I suppose you're right, she was the test run. Wow. That didn't even occur to me till you mentioned it...

I wonder about her. She’s certainly no where near as shrewd (educated/involved/self directed) as these two more recent editions. If it weren’t for entering Hollywood young, she’s just an average raging codependent that went too far. The boys club is aligned, particularly it seems in Hollywood. Everyone who plays likely has an NDA attached, she may have thought she was a step ahead of a rigged game.

Maybe it’s due to her conniving evil personality... to think how she was able to manipulate all these people ... something tells me she shouldn’t be underestimated

I listen to Grimes talk once. She sounded like a 13 year old girl.

I’ve also heard her in that tone. The podcast I mention above caught her at a different angle. In any case I don’t know if shrewd is the correct term, they all seem on the sci fi spectrum, materialists, open to mingling intimately with AI. Which seems to be the future. Shivon openly refers to ‘creating a new species’ ... buckle up. Let’s not minimize this with frivolous insults and side swipes trying to pigeon hole them. No matter their *supposed* character flaws, none of them are idiots. I would go so far to say Grimes is Claire’s avatar to interface with human entertainment. The public is truly only interested in the superficial (and then picking apart “it’s not real!” yes, no kidding) making it super easy to slip in the back door with a lisp while everyone under estimates. There’s strategy at play.
