Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[DarkTZeratul]

So is Elon altruistic? He think AI should be open world, but none of his battery tech? Maybe it's not an apples to apples and yes AI on a whole new level. But cmon! This dude just wants to monopolize it, right?

Sam Altman once said of Elon Musk, "Elon desperately wants the world to be saved. But only if he can be the one to save it."

Which is funny because he's been given plenty of chances to help as many people as possible, but he'd rather look cool, while thinking fascism is cool, than do anything cool.

Elon Musk Sued OpenAI for betraying humanity.



Not sure about the legality of this since he does not have a stake in OpenAI any longer. Maybe he is trying to slow OpenAI down so xAI has a chance to catch up? Or as per the article, he is being a sour grape that an enterprise that he abandoned is now worth $80b and climbing.



I thought that was funny. Unfortunately, Musk took it seriously at face value.

I mean its fair? He donated 44 billion to what he believed at the time to be an open source software charity org. Its fair for him to grip that the charity then became a defacto startup he provided billions in funding for free

OpenAI is still supposedly a charity

Ironically openai is what you should hate if you hate fascism. Fuckers started as open source collecting donations and benefits of a nonprofit and then flipped to closed source for profit while still using the nice fellows brand image. The equivalent of a communal project taken over by totalitarian regime.

This might be the absolute largest stretch into "everything I don't like is fascism" territory that I've ever seen.

intentionally didn't call them fascist but common ground is easy to draw which is exactly what i did. I mean are you gonna love someone who is only 50% not 100% hitler? Same idea. They share common negative traits.

I would not describe having a sketchy change from non-profit to for-profit as "50% hitler" or even vaguely fascist.

I think you meant millions. At least so he claimed.

Elon Musk used to say he put $100M in OpenAI, but now it’s $50M: Here are the receipts
Years of tax filings give the most complete picture yet of OpenAI’s early finances

The verifiable number based on Techcrunch investigation was closer to $15M.

He was on the board. Since he left, I don't think he legally has any say on the direction of OpenAI.

The total donation to OpenAi was around $150m. Chump change by Bay Area start up investment standard.

To keep making progress they needed the financing from Microsoft and convert partially to for profit with cap. Nvidia A100 chip cost around $10k each. Cerebras' which is the size of a dinner plate is around $2M a piece. The salary of a software engineer at OpenAi (including PPU) is around $900k. $150m does not last long.

All in the wording: "authoritarian seized control and closed access" sounds familiar doesn't it?

Altman left when the board fired him. The board had to bring him back because almost all of OpenAi's employees threatened to quit. No scientists, no AI. Not sure where "authoritarian seized control and closed access" came from.

Sorry my b. But yeah 50 million in free funding he has a right to complain abt the nonprofit he gave money to. In the same wya openai made the right move to become a for profit company and abandon all of their values and principles

I don't think OpenAi intended to cheat the early day patrons. It just ran into reality. Keep in mind that Musk was not the only patrons of OpenAi. Nor was he the largest contributor.

"If you don't elect Donald Trump as president, Putin is going to cleanse the world with nuclear fire."

They're really desperate to get Putin's favorite puppet back into office, and it'll totally be Democrat's fault because we don't want a Russian puppet running our country and that makes Putin very sad. This is the 21st century cold war.

Even for him that's really stupid. You'd think one of the richest men in the world wouldn't need so much attention from a random president that's far less wealthy than he is.

Per Kara Swisher, Elon genuinely thinks he's the main character nowadays. Unironically. It makes his weirdo, detached behavior make a lot more sense.

You'd think he wouldn't want attention from a guy who calls himself Cat Turd, but here we are.

I said this a long time ago in this thread but it bears repeating:

When Musk went on Rogan and pretended to smoke weed he realized that there's actually a group of people in the world who might think he's cool, and he's spent the better part of a decade and tens of billions of dollars trying to impress them.

[Cthulhu 2020]

Imagine being Biden and things have been relatively quiet on the MAGA front, then your social media assistant informs you that you're being accused by a contractor for illegally trafficking immigrants into the US. This is going to be another one of those things that will always be true in the minds of MAGA. Even after the guy has been tried and found to be lying, they will still believe it's true. It's crazy sitting here and watching all these chuds immediately believing anything thrown at Biden, and yet they still live in disbelief that Trump never did anything wrong. Because to them, he can't.

Politicking must be extremely easy when your audience/constituents are composed almost entirely of drooling imbeciles willing to embrace any unhinged conspiracy theory that comes across their feed.
