My go-to comment for every Musk headline never fails:
k.
Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.
sighs
He’s still so fucking wealthy tho
Fine, I say we take every single bit of his hundreds of billions in $1 bills and bury it on top of him. I’m sure that weighs quite a bit
0.63 Empire State Buildings. So yeah, quite a bit.
Americans will use anything but metric as a unit of measurement.
I always hate seeing that, then i remember i’ve used both football feilds and time to drive somewhere as units of distance. So yeah, we will use anything
Time is a perfectly valid unit of distance. Just look at light years. On Earth, I mostly use the unit of distance me-minutes
Interestingly, analysing distance in me-minutes reveals that spacetime is not flat, because a distant location on the train line can be much closer to me than something 5 km away but far away from public transit.
Living in Michigan I show distance by pointing to spots on my hand.
Yo, same. The mitten makes it easy.
I’m European
Then you should know better.
He’s pissing his pants because nobody will want to use Grok
hell yeah do it
Gonna find out real quick that Apple is more important to people than Twitter.
Wait is he banning Apple for employees or from the entire platform for users?
The former, unfortunately.
Musk has tantrum. Just another day ending in y.
But every day ends wi… oh. OH.
What does he think, Apple is going to release a keynote tomorrow with Tim Cook saying “ah, my bad, Elon doesn’t like it so we’re rolling it back”. And if he blocks Apple devices from Viewing Xitter, they’ll finally move on to other platforms which will potentially cut his user base in half.
He’s trying to bring attention to his ongoing campaign to show that OpenAI are somehow evil crooks that cheated him and are going to destroy the world. He projects much.
This one is tricky, because Lemmy hates both Musk and AI.
I can hate both things, and this move isn’t good for either one of them so I consider it an absolute win.
Yes but can you hate one for hating the other when you hate it as well?
Elmo hating Open AI (not all AI implementations just every AI implementation that isn’t his) isn’t the reason most people hate Elmo.
Yeah, I get that. At the risk of overexplaining the joke, I was poking fun at the fact that Lemmy reflexively hates everything Elon does, but in this case, he’s actually expressing a sentiment most Lemmy users would agree with.
But not for the same reason.
Let them fight lol
Lemmy seems to hate any new technology, I’ve noticed.
Personally I’ve found GPT to be extremely useful as a search engine replacement, especially the implementations that cite their sources. That way you can actually fact check instead of wondering if it’s a hallucination. It helps me rely on reddit a lot less to find answers. I love that it’s being integrated with Windows. Makes finding files a lot easier, even easier than using Everything search.
Lemmy also hates crypto. They call it a scam, despite the fact that it’s now being traded on the stock market (BTC and soon to be ETH). I turned $12k into $36k, just by buying small amounts of BTC every paycheck since COVID started. I buy everything with crypto; there are Visa debit cards you can use to spend it. Crypto gave me enough financial wiggle room that I no longer worry about losing my job. Yet it’s a “scam”. Give me a fucking break.
Lemmy hates HDR. Every time I mention the reason why I haven’t switched to Linux yet is because of poor HDR support in KDE, I get ridiculed. “Why would you want your monitor brighter and more colorful? Mine’s bright and colorful enough”, failing to realize just how much more realistic “brighter and more colorful” makes an image appear. With a proper 1000 nit OLED display, it feels more like looking out of a window than staring at a monitor. Like going from a black and white to color TV. One of those things that you can’t go back on once you get used to it.
And although not a new technology, per se don’t even get me started on how much Lemmy hates cars. But I feel like I’ve ranted on long enough so I’m just going to stop talking here before my inbox blows up.
I think I’ve mentioned the HDR issue in every comment I’ve made about my attempts to daily drive Linux, but I’ve never seen anyone get mad about it. It’s also not the make it or break it issue that’s keeping me from switching full-time though.
Most of the comments about HDR on Linux is
- “Yeah, that’s a weakness of Linux”
- “Yes, it’s being worked upon. Hope it comes soon”
- “Some distro X has partial support for it”
I’ve never seen anyone become mad, both on reddit and Lemmy
You are absolutely wrong.
GPT: Yes it is very usefull, but it got that usefull by being trained on data that user’s would not accept if they knew about it.
Crypto is a scam, the only reason it hold any value is because other people belive it holds the value. The data that is mined is absolutely useless, it is litteraly a stribg of numbers in a very particular order that serves no other fuction other than to represent itself. Crypto is insanely power inefficient and is slow to transfer money.
HDR is comming, it takes time, yes, in the mean time, HDR is a nice to have, it is not a critical peice of technology, stop bragplaining about your nice monitor and just ignore the threads about why you have not switched yet.
Hating cars is not Lemmy specific, but a growing sentiment of younger generations fewling hopeless for their future when pollution doesn’t stop, and public transport is a feaver dream for the younger generations in the US. Just block the fuck cars community and move on.
The same argument you made against crypto can also be made for USD: it only holds value cause people say it does. I rather go with a currency that isn’t subject to inflation. Furthermore, if you don’t like the energy usage, then don’t buy a Proof of Work coin. Buy a Proof of Stake coin instead, like ETH, and rest easy knowing that you’re not harming the environment.
But hey, if you want to be poor for the rest of your life, that’s on you. I choose to break free from USD so that I actually have a chance at a future.
HDR has been around for over a decade now. Linux devs are just lazy. It is in fact, a critical piece of tech once you get used to it. Like I said, from going from B&W to a color TV. HDR monitors are not expensive. Even the cheapest Walmart brands have HDR now.
Are you saying Musk isn’t AI?
Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.
In case anybody is wondering why he’s making a big deal out of it.
As to why emoji feels the need to make his own “anti-woke” AI, it’s because he thinks that, at some point in the future, our AI overlords will decide to cull white people to meet “forced diversity quotas.” I’m not kidding.
Ah yes, his legendary anti-woke ai
I love how he can’t even bigot right.
It’s cause he’s not the one who’s actually making these things. He’s just the guy who provides money to make these things.
P.S. if someone could invent a predictive text algo that can distinguish between cause and cuz, that would actually be an amazing innovation. /rant
It must drive him nuts that he’s actually incapable of doing all this. He can’t actually create anything. Certainly not shareholder value lmao
xAI
What is with this idiot and the letter ‘x’?
It’s “cool.”
If you’re 13, I guess.
Hes mentally 13. He also wanted to name PayPal X back in the day, but got told no.
“Grok” really says everything that needs to be said about this farce, isn’t it?
So how does this man being an executive officer not immediately send a company’s stocks into the shitter at this point?
Everyone’s too deep to escape.
Isn’t the Tesla board made up of his buddies?
The CEO is chosen by the board, which is chosen by the shareholders. The shareholders have the ultimate power, if they can unite on a goal/decision. Overwhelmingly, the only thing they can agree on is that they want to make the most money. They often can’t even agree on how to go about that.
So, the board won’t fire him because the shareholders won’t force it. The shareholders won’t force it because they want the most money, and musk as CEO seems to be the best path, or at least not a problematic one.
As for how that can be, it gets into how absurd Tesla stock is in the first place. There was a period where Tesla’s market cap (total value of all shares) was higher than the entire rest of the auto industry combined. This was despite having no feasible path towards that level of production, and even growth in general wasn’t looking too hot.
Sunk cost fallacy.
He’s a hypocrite, and a piece of shit. Stop listening to him. Stop reading his tweets. Stop giving him any attention at all. He’s dirt under our boots and deserves nothing more.
Who cares about X. Mastodon and other Fediverse services are better.
Also we all know nothing is going to happen.
Imagine doing an antitrust violation when you don’t even have the market clout for a payoff in the first place.
This should be interesting.
I see no conflict with hating on both.
It seems a little illogical to hate Elon for hating AI when you also hate it.
That’s not why I hate him. Also, he has his own AI, so clearly he doesn’t hate it in general, just Apple’s.
Lemmy users: Hate on everything that isn’t Linux.
Let 'em kill each other.
Lemmy doesn’t hate AI, just dumb implementations of it
I don’t hate the technology, I hate that I cannot chose where and when to use it. Consent is quite important.
I personally just hate to dumbasses who can’t understand that it’s not HAL9000, it’s just your smartphone’s predictive text with extra computing power and a better pool of previous entries to draw upon.
…that you can talk to and ask in normal voice about any of your data and get a reasonable answer that even get what you want with that data and asks to do these actions directly. Even if it is just predictive text, it is still useful and mindblowing 🤷🏻♀️
Well reasonable answers are going to be fewer and farther between as it trains on it’s own poisoned data.

Let‘s wait and see if appleAI really has a trouble with that, we can not know that yet, since we never saw that LLM yet… But of course, one is allowed to skeptical
Which is apparently all of them
You forgot: hate on Apple.
Por que no tres?
The usual, then?
Hey hey, you have one finger left for
diet CokeMicrosoftI always have one finger for Microsoft.
five fingers and two thumbs left if you use both hands!
Plenty of love for Fb, Google, Amazon, etc hehe.
