Oh, what? So now I suppose you're just going to sit there and pout?

There is no low that I don’t expect from Musk, but it’s honestly surprising to see him posting numerology like an open QAnon.

What's the consensus on Tumblr these days? For its age and size, it's surprising how infrequently it's mentioned alongside other Twitter alternatives.

Tumblr got bought by the Automattic guys and tbh it’s good now. I enjoy it quite a bit for meme posting and random stuff. Definitely lacks the instant news/outrage aspect, but that might be because I don’t follow news accounts in general (I think there’s a bbc account that hasn’t updated since 2019)

Yeah Threads is leaning hard into attracting influencers to hook brands before they roll out aggressive advertising when they reach critical mass. One of several reasons for Mastodon instances to immediately defederate them on entry into the space. Threads is going to be better than Twitter just long enough to eat their lunch and then it will just be instafacetwitterbookagram

It doesn't have to attract the Influencers, its a part of Instagram. They all have the low number registrations.

It's genuinely hard to tell whether he's just blatantly lying to drum up interest and money a-la hyperloop or just fundamentally misunderstands the technology because he's an idiot.

Probably a combination of both.

Three grifty years from now he’s going to unveil the new MuskAI and it’ll be a guy in a silver body suit with a cardboard computer for a head.

I was thinking of remarking about how he probably has a child's idea of the abilities of AI based off of that part in Hitchhikers, then I come back to this thread and find of course that's exactly the case because is understanding of what a smart person like himself should be like is based entirely on unoriginal and often outdated tropes.

Also, didn't he spend a several weeks grousing about the dangers of AI? Pick a goddamn lane. Where preferably a Tesla is driving using your crappy self-driving tech.

I'd like to nominate a sentence for this year's Nobel Prize

quote:

It was incredibly easy to beat Musk in court, says Musk, in court. Elon Musk does not abide by his contracts, and so you have to sue him to get him to keep his contracts, but when you sue him you will win, says Elon Musk, in a court case in which he is trying to get out of a contract.

He said he was making an AI then there was a leap forward like 2 days later in AI and he freaked out and started doing the wait we need to look into these things bullshit.

That was all an act to try and get the other people making AI to stop and let him make an equally good AI to be fair. No cheating!!!

He would have done it in a way that made elon think he was being friendly/nice to him and the question would be if he would ever clue in to it.

I think the feasibility of this new idiot venture depends entirely on how the goal is phrased.

-An AI which will grasp reality on a level beyond human consciousness? that is a nonsensical statement and also way outside the scope of any current or projected technology

-An AI with a stronger grasp on reality than Elon Musk specifically? any AI qualifies by default; it has zero capacity for understanding, which puts it ahead of Elon Musk, whose capacity for critical thought is somehow negative
