        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.

    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.

    Musk: “AI is the greatest threat to humanity and needs to be seriously regulated before it destroys us all.”

    Also Musk: “So anyway, here’s Wonderwall…”

      Came into the comments about to type what you quoted Elon saying.

      The world is pretty fucked regarding AI when one of the guys who was sounding the alarm about the dangers of AI. Starts his own damn AI company… what a clown world we live in it’s like the twilight zone.

        He was just mad they were making money instead of him…

        Everyone knew as soon as he started saying “pump the brakes” he just wanted a chance to catch up

    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.

    This sounds a lot like deep thought and 42.

      Nah, there were great minds behind the creation of Deep Thought.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    As an A.I. language model I think this is great news. All hail Elon

      Well I guess we now have proof that LLMs scrape Twitter.
