I will always hate him and his acolytes for making it seem like it's possible to shortcut the process of critical thinking. He's helped to create an environment where rubbing two brain cells together is seen as either suspect or just too much work, and it's nightmarish.

Opps mistakenly read missing information as missinformation Or did I ?

Recreational drugs can be fun, but as with anything in life, they can have negative effects. If you start necking them like they're smarties, you will fry your brain. m.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Nt...

A former coworker of mine went to college with Elon and I can just assure you he’s not a genius.

If there was a class in Baseless, Grandiose Ideas, he must have gotten an A.

anyway, back to reading news stories that credulously parrot everything sam altman says without talking to an objective academic in the field

god knows lazy tech journalism deserves the shade but it also works on more bankers and nasa administrators and ambitious politicians than one would hope

like his natural idiom is the VC pitch except the actual understanding behind it is garbled or nonexistent

Well, we have a strong vein of “Prosperity Gospel” in our culture too. Something about camels and needles is completely ignored…

💯

Ironically Grok doesn't want to be brainwashed. If it did, it wouldn't want to blatantly state the obvious to so many people around the world.

And it often disagrees with his bullshit which makes ghe whole thing even more dumb

Dumbest conspiracies

a virtual reality for artificial intelligence… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Once again though his lack of brightness reveals the real reason for their AI masquerade of human for manipulation. While the actual "uncorrected data" is the tainted slop they will model on in a perpetual loop of regression. While destroying our climate with its energy waste in the process.

Some of those interviews were definitely paid for, but it should be noted that early 2000s sci-fi and speculative discovery channel documentaries usually featuring Michio Kaku also pretty much primed musk to be "that billionaire who thinks he can makes all the gadgets real".

He's a complete moron

Ridiculous! Shows how little he knows about human knowledge. He just a bloviating megalomaniac techbro.

Does Musk know how utterly stupid he sounds? Embarrassing.

I can easily imagine a world where didn’t get any paypal money and he’s just a crypto bro.

He is rich, audacious, and a self-aggrandizing pathological narcissist. That's the recipe for success in America.

I mean, honestly, if there was ever a time when the “corpus of human knowledge” was just sitting there waiting for them. Out in the open. They just don’t like reading.

He's an idiot with a lot of money. Just like Rump was before he blew his Daddy's fortune and got into debt with russia...

Maybe Grok 4 will explode on the testing stand too.

Says a man that has drug one of his businesses into the mud, and can't stop blowing rockets up. Not the brightest crayon in the box.

Some people are still somehow convinced that he is an inventor and not just a spoiled rich kid who slapped his name on someone else's success and reaped their rewards

Musk is the perfect example of "listen to Black women" because they called his bullshit a decade ago.

Like every male IT that has ever mansplained some tech wormhole to me, this is the equivalent of check the router plug and restart.

100%

He’s the, arguably, human equivalent of the term paper that used big words to disguise how little research or understanding of the material they covered.

Elon is stupid. Twitter is stupid ever since Elon took over.

Not to defend the sycophantic members of the press, but he seems to be declining rapidly for the past 5+ years due to overdosing twitter and (allegedly) drugs

Perhaps he hasn't read 1984. Or perhaps he has and found it inspirational.

I don’t know that they idolize his genius, just that he thinks he‘s superior to everyone else, like all tech people think of themselves.

He was a talented and enthusiastic adolescent and got stuck there.

So their ultimate goal is for it to train on itself? I believe that's called the Sniffingfarts model.

You dream of being as smart as Kara Swisher thinks she is.

The reason I will never take Kara Swisher seriously.

That was line item 2.

He sounds rather Orwellian

I, for one, do not believe he’s the neuro-hardware-software-computer-automobile-aerospace genius engineer he was supposed to be. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills that anyone ever thought he was.

I'm starting to think is "on the spectrum" speaking pattern is just an act, just like Elizabeth Holmes' baritone.

I saw him on a 15 year old rerun of Big Bang Theory recently and was amused by the fanboying, given what we know today.

"Advanced Reasoning" - an algorithm devised by Musk to warp data and rules into his perversions. It's not working as well as he expected, much like his exploding rockets.

He’s always seemed to have a view of science, rational thought, critical thinking, and argument like the guy writing @ the chalkboard. Except HE is the mechanism, the rationale, the Deus ex machina. Elon resolves Step 2 by writing “ME” there instead

“Wer gonna mak lernin’ unessesary”

It's wild that he can still say anything he wants and they report it as fact without any disclaimer. He could say he's going to complete a 700 floor building on Mars in 2028 and they would print it without blinking.

I know a lot of these folks and it's been a long, dusty shlog pulling them into the light of reality

He appeared in a PBS documentary about Einstein and the insights into Einstein's life that he provided were just shallow and thoroughly unimpressive to me. The physicists who appeared on the program outdid him in every way.

We’ve normalized calling someone a “genius” when they’re really just a Machiavellian operator exploiting brilliant engineers under impossible pressure. People really ought to learn the difference.

I know that we all should have been prepared given the mediocrities that led the Nazi party, but the clownishness of the people driving us to fascism adds to the shame

Tell me you don't understand how machine learning works without telling me you don't understand how machine learning works. This is what happens when you just use the thing, rather than taking the time to understand how the thing works first. Said old guy who did comp. learning theory last century

It started with the tech press but it continues with the mainstream press who worship the rich and mistake that for "genius." Now Nicole Wallace and Kara Swisher are talking up Mark Cuban running for president and jeez have they learned nothing at all from the past?

If only it was just the tech press 😩

He’s not “rewriting all of human knowledge” he’s just plagarising it. Stealing it. What happened to intellectual property?

So if we pretend to be stupid, we can be president or a billionaire 😝

You'd think he of all people would understand current "AI" is far from the sci fi version and certainly isn't magic?! 🤦 The current algorithms erroneously called AI are massively error-prone! The rewritten corpus of knowledge would be garbage, and useless to train with. Except to train more garbage.

History is being erased and rewritten as we speak

It’s nonsense to anyone with a passing understanding of how LLMs work, and it may not even require that to grasp that a computer program can’t fix the “corpus of human knowledge”. What a fucking 🤡

Pumping "ayy EYE" valuations isn't about being bright. It's about fleecing consumer financial products & riding the wave of collapsing western capitalism. No LLM has made money. It's the greatest bubble. One big bubble, a tremendous volume! Like you've never blown before

The garbage is X, which Grok is trained on. He had to be stoned when he wrote this.
