Elon Musk Buys Twitter

[Nymrohd]

i can't wait until elon complains and tells his staff to change it.

but also it's very bad that people are rushing to buggy and still bad AI as if it's a search engine with quality results, even if it may get things right occasionally

I've talked with several people the last few months who tried to get informed on a hot news topic by asking ChatGPT and my capacity for disappointment was once more expanded.

If we're being honest, they always were.

C'mon down to Tesler for a great deal! GOP Truly the party of sleazy car sales guys and gropers.


Editors nailed it with imitating the worst freeware transition graphics and throwing the two bikini girls at the end. Young Trump males will think this is a genuine ad.

The fact that it is legitimately hard to tell Donald Trump from a legit used car salesman is just quite telling.

"Everything's computer!" to "I love Tesler!".

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, who serves as an advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, shared a post on social media platform X on Thursday which said "Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn't murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did."

The post, originally written by a user named "Alice Smith," was shared by another user named "Rothmos," whose post was then shared by Musk. The post has reached around half a million viewers so far.

Elon is not just an ahistorical liar and a wierdo south african pedo guy, but he's actively trying to get government employees harmed or killed now, too.

He should have no part in the federal government nor should his companies. He should be removed from them.

So, this is exhibit number who knows what of proof that Musk is a Nazi. The public sector employees didn't just randomly go one day and say "Hey, there are a bunch of Jewish people around. Lets build some camps and some large ovens and gas chambers and start shoving them in them.". They literally followed Hitler. Same with Stalin and Mao.

just saying

i've never had to go on a guided tour of aushwitz because a social media platform i owned turned into the best place to be a nazi since the stormfront forums and frequently signal boosting nazis/nazi rhetoric

Tesla continues its trend of having fire sales for its vehicles.

Elon Musk is not a nazi. I mean, would a nazi do something like this?:

Early on Thursday morning, Elon Musk, who has led the efforts of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to purge tens of thousands of government workers on behalf of President Donald Trump, amplified a defense of Adolf Hitler on his social media platform, X. “Stalin, Mao and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people,” reads the post from a pseudonymous user, shared in a screenshot posted by a far-right account Musk follows. “Their public sector workers did.”

...
...

Shit.

Yeah, I guess they would.

Okay besides the facts that he did a nazi salute, denies the holocaust, and continues to post and re-post nazi propaganda...what evidence is there that Elon Musk is a Nazi?

Huh. I've never heard the "I'm innnocent! I was just giving orders!" excuse before. Bold twist.

Your pics aren't showing up...at least not on my end.

But yeah, Imma just sit over here and wait for the people to come in and say "Ok, but what he really meant by that was ________"

Updated. It was a few low-res animated gifs of a particular scene from Sneakers. I took a screenshot and reposted the still image.

If you've seen the movie, you'll recognize the vibe of the scene.

Hey this stuff starts at home.

Its not like his grandfather was arrested by the RCMP for membership in an illegal organization during WWII. Later moving to South Africa because he liked Apartheid.

I always kinda assumed he got this behaviour from his dad. Never occured to me his mom's side of the family was shitty.

GPT is just a tool, you can use it quite well these days on almost any subject, especially since the paid version at least ( unsure about the free one ) does cite it's sources of information and provides links to them on political questions.

Of course it isn't a perfect tool, but I find myself using it far more often than Google if I want an answer to a question.

I DO however have to question it at least several times on a subject to make sure it's not giving rubbish.

You kind of contradict yourself there.

You say you can use it quite well...but that you also have to keep prodding it to make sure it's feeding you bullshit.

Trust but verify applies.

Trust but verify applies.

You said yourself that it can't be trusted; you have to ask it multiple times before you can suspect the majority answers might be true.

If you have to ask a source multiple times to be sure its first response wasn't just a straight-up lie, it's not a useful source. Especially when repeating the same lie would convince you the lie is true, apparently.

This alone makes it useless to me. If I can't trust the results, can't look to the immediate source to verify, and have to trust that re-asking a few times will get me the right answer, I'm not trusting it.

Too many people don't even bother with the "question it at least several times", they just get an answer an that's the truth as far as they're concerned.

I seriously just don't understand the point when any decent search would get you a better answer with direct links to far more information than any AI chatbot is gonna give you. Learning how to do actual research is easier than learning how to do useful AI question framing, and it's a skill that will forever be useful moving forward.
