We're aware of Meta's push to sex-meme its AI mascot, and now you are, too
Employees at the tech giant are posting scintillating memes to promote Jolly, the face of its AI agent, Muse.
Meta's AI mascot Jolly, a character for Meta's AI agent Muse, has sparked controversy with sexually explicit memes circulating online. Alexandr Wang, Meta's Chief AI Officer and co-lead of Meta Superintelligence Labs, has been posting AI-generated memes of Jolly in compromising positions, rather than focusing on his job duties. One meme shows Jolly, an Ewok-like character, teasingly pointing its bare behind at the viewer.
Another meme depicts Jolly in bed with two men, seemingly referencing a scene from the movie Challengers. Meta employees are also posting similarly inappropriate memes on social media platforms like X, attempting to promote Muse. Other tech companies such as GitHub and Spotify have joined in, posting less risqué versions of Jolly to promote their integration with Muse.
Meta's plan to introduce Muse, a "Tamagotchi-like device" that can be carried as a personal assistant, may inadvertently promote the sexually suggestive Jolly memes in real-life settings.
