ok sorry i got my chuds conflated, for some reason I was convinced that weird picture of fat turd and his 15 year old wife was taken somewhere outside the country

but can you still answer my question about why musk gives even one poo poo what he thinks?

No, that's Kim Dotcom, the guy behind Megaupload, who is living in New Zealand with his child bride because it doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US. That's a whole different fat turd.

And no, I cannot answer why Elon is so enamored with cat turd specifically. I guess he conflated him with the entire "go woke, go broke" movement at some point and his noggin is far too calcified to reevaluate things?

Hard Drive on the offense again, last time Elon did not take this well. Hoping they can get under his skin again because previously it led to that insanely cringey video of Elon, two weeks after the fact, workshopping comebacks in some office while a couple of sycophants had to pretend it was hilarious.

It's because they base their entire ideology off of image macros other people made rather than introspection or the desire to have a morally consistent worldview.

Elon's entire sense of humor comes from yes and'ing other people's jokes and it's very pathetic once you notice it.

A jpeg made them feel bad once and this trauma has caused them to arm and armor themselves with memes. They preemptively try to make other people feel bad while attempting to become so ironically detached they can’t be forced to feel anything. It doesn’t work and blowback from this behavior leads them deeper into the spiral.

Yeah I thought this was a funny thing to pop up again but I guess everyone forgot about substack management being a bunch of freeze peach “both sides” dipshits.

It kind of sucks because there are some good content producers on substack, like Zitron.

Elon Musk founds new AI company called X.AI

Rumors about Musk starting up an AI company have been floating around for days, with a report from Business Insider revealing that Musk had purchased thousands of graphic processing units (GPUs) to power an upcoming generative AI product. The Financial Times similarly reported that Musk planned to create an AI firm to compete with the Microsoft-backed OpenAI. Musk even reportedly sought funding from SpaceX and Tesla investors to get the company started.

During an interview on Twitter Spaces, when Musk was asked about all the GPUs he purchased, the billionaire made no mention of his plans to build an AI company, stating “it seems like everyone and their dog is buying GPUs at this point.” The purported X.AI name matches the branding of the X Corp. name he has since assigned to Twitter, along with the “X” label he’s applied to his vision of an “everything app.”

Musk has been openly opposed to OpenAI, the AI organization that he co-founded in 2015 but walked away from in 2018, and recently signed a letter calling for a pause on “giant AI experiments.” In recent months, OpenAI has become a hugely recognizable name on the backs of technology like ChatGPT and GPT-4 and is partially responsible for kicking off Microsoft and Google’s current push to integrate AI tools more deeply into many of its products.

---

"Guys please pause any AI development for 6 months so I can catch up"

PS he threw a huge fit because OpenAI didn't want to be bought out by him so he left and took all his funding, so they had to work on monetizing their product which turned out to be ChatGPT3/Dall-E..

It is okay. Elon actions are so monumentally stupid that your brain probably just auto corrected to million because no one could be that stupid. It is an unfathomable amount money being wasted by someone so unfathomably stupid.
