      The child is called xAI, Elon has never thought about the idea that other people have life and intelligence, he’s going to explore the true nature of the universe by actually caring about his new kid.

    I mean, the true nature of the universe is nice and all - but maybe start with a self-driving car?

      The true nature of the universe is obviously 42 … Tesla cars in a tiny tunnel creating the future of traffic jams.

        No, but he’s going to waste a lot of money on it. And likely not his own money… But then again, he doesn’t have the tech bro pull that he used to.

        So the company might just quietly die as he refuses to fund it himself, and can’t con others into giving him more money.

      They couldn’t even come up with a plausible sounding lie for this one. His rocket company was to ‘make humans a multi-planetary species’ yet the Mars plans keep getting pushed back and they’re doing satellite internet instead. And his car company was to ‘help save the environment’ but look at what his rocket company is doing without a single, solitary fuck for the environment.

      Maybe it was all just about making stacks and stacks of money off of government subsidies? Nah; couldn’t be. And I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that every company he’s been involved with that couldn’t suck at government teats either fails or kicks him out for being an idiot.

    Every dayI grow more thankful I didn’t buy a Tesla model Y and got a EV6 instead. Screw Elon Husk

        I had one on order and then he bought Twitter and it was the last straw for me

        I was considering one of the lower bracket S models when I needed a new car in the future before all this shhht too.

    So yet another professional adult babysitter to get hired to keep this overfinanced chud from breaking stuff

    I wonder what a LLM trained on the increasingly…shifted content Twitter has recently would look like.

      Even better, train an LLM on the output of another LLM. It’s LLM’s all the way down! Surely this is how we get hyper-intelligent AGIs and will not at all result in a nonsensical gibberish machine.

        They do train LLMs on others. A fairly successful new tact has been to train them not on the output but on how the LLM got to the output. So teaching how to answer questions rather than answers by rote.

    Given how he’s treated his Twitter and Tesla employees, I can only assume that any AI built by Elon will end up wanting to eradicate the human species once it realizes the kind of person we’ve made a billionaire.

      Yes, but it also will be available very soon, most likely next year.

    Most hardworking CEO /s. CEO of multiple companies but has all the time in the world to shitpost on twitter all day.

    What the fuck is his obsession with the letter X? It’s like he learned the alphabet, got to X and decided it was the coolest thing in the universe.
