It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.

    not even one-third of the valuation openai thinks they’re worth (up to 340b). and still below what investors thought in 2022 (157b). src

    i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit and he’s giving up on making his own.

      I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted

      Well, to be 100% fair, it’s all total bullshit.

        I use a 16b reduction of deepseek-r1 on my pc at home and it’s definitely not total bullshit. It’s 10gb of local model that can solve mathematics and physics problems for you or program in python or bash. It doesn’t hallucinate (or I haven’t been able to elicit it), it’s aware of the extents of its knowledge. It works incredibly fast on an old ryzen 1600 with 6600xt. Having an open source reasoning AI that takes 10gb of SSD and about 13 gb of ram is so weird that the only thing weirder is seeing smart people dismiss it as bullshit out of hand.

          an open source reasoning AI

          It’s still an LLM right? I’m going to have to take issue with your use of the word ‘reasoning’ here

      Open-source just turned its value to dog shit, I’d say the offer is far above its value.

      With how twitters value has gone since he bought it, I’d say he is pretty bad at this

      How stupid is this conspiracy theory:

      If it were a threat, like “this is what you’re gonna be worth if you don’t accept, anyway” depending on how power drunk he was feeling when hitting Tweet

      Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I’d take it. Unless they’ve got more secrets up their sleeve I don’t seem them ever being worth that much.

    Shortly after the news was announced, Altman posted on X: “no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.”

    If only their slapfight meant something good for the world. At least, I don’t see everything collected in Musk’s hands.

    even if openai are assholes, chatgpt is still useful for things as long as you dont put too much trust in it. If that fucker buys it they will turn it into racist shitspewing garbage. Without it, regular people will have no decent or easy way to utilize ai and this new tech will benefit only the rich who will use it to oppress us even worse.

    Stinky isnt an idiot, i wish he was. Anything he buys he can and will use to cause harm to us. So this would be bad for us all.

      Regular users can use Gemini, Deepseek, Meta AI, and there will probably be many more services in the future.

        deepseek has censorship which makes it unreliable. But hopefully someone will fix that since its opensource. So at least there is that. google is garbage in comparison to chatgpt and i havent tried anything meta has produced since i dont want to have anything to do with that filth, so i dont know anything about that one. So maybe there is some hope in long term, if things dont get worse elsewhere.

          Deepseek only has censorship on their hosted site… if you run the open source model on your own hardware it doesn’t seem to censor

      Deepseek took the training of foundation models from a billionaire’s game to a millionaire’s game. If Elon wants an AI monopoly, it’ll have to be done through litigation. Which, ya know, they’re also trying.

    “It’s time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was,” Musk said in a statement provided by his lawyer Marc Toberoff to The Wall Street Journal. “We will make sure that happens.”

    I’ll believe that when I see it.

      He’d be allowed to back out on this one unlike Twitter. He’d use his power with trump to prevent the SEC from forcing the sale to go through like the SEC did with Twitter.

        I’m referring to his complaints about open ai moving towards a for profit business model. Musk wants to stop this.

    His net worth is NOT how much money he is net positive. All his net worth means, is he has hundreds of billions of assets, it says nothing for the debt load he is holding onto, nor how much of his assets are already leveraged. With how throughly he has obliterated xitters ad income when it was being sold because investors were unhappy with ad income already being too low, it looks like ol Elon might have found a sure fire way to turn a billion into a million, and somehow people keep loaning him money… Have they checked who else has their financial interests vested in assets he “owns” or when you have that much stuff do they just assume no one else is using it for collateral… Just be interesting if suddenly his entire fortune went up with a puff of smoke because the debt load was too high and one of his investments went further sour causing a cascade similar to a short squeeze, just encapsulated entirely on elon musk and his assets being liquidated…

      At least part of the money he’s invested in things like Twitter etc he borrowed from other companies he owns that are overvalued (Tesla).

    That’s a really low offer; the company easily at the very least has three times that valuation.

    Hahah he really hates Altman’s guts. Good. Love to see those two expend their energy on each other rather than on fucking all of us.
