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.

takeda,

Yes, but it also will be available very soon, most likely next year.

What does that even mean?

I don’t even think Elon knows.

chaogomu,

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.

CarlosCheddar,

Selling vaporware to investors just by adding AI to the name.

You don't get to be a billionaire with just hard work and fulfilled promises.

VanillaGorilla,

I should have picked another username...

Wirrvogel,

And an “x”. It does sell more with an added “x”, like things are faster when painted red and stay cooler when blue.

Every dayI grow more thankful I didn't buy a Tesla model Y and got a EV6 instead. Screw Elon Husk

VanillaGorilla,

I considered one as well, but thankfully he dropped the mask just in time.

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.

MrSpArkle,

This guy gonna sit down with this total perspective vortex on Maury and realize he is not the father.

twistypencil,

Elon feels like the joke that Trump always was

So yet another professional adult babysitter to get hired to keep this overfinanced chud from breaking stuff

nymwit,

I wonder what a LLM trained on the increasingly....shifted content Twitter has recently would look like.

knotthatone,

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.

UniquesNotUseful,

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.

spacedancer,

Most hardworking CEO /s. CEO of multiple companies but has all the time in the world to shitpost on twitter all day.

billm,

Someone has to make sure the site is still running.

TheRealLDRMS,

It’s amazing isn’t it. /s

Obsession,

Don’t forget that the company he was most publicly visible in running (Twitter) is tanking

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.

morphballganon,

Maybe he can’t get over his x.

light_martyr,

Are we sure this is a new company and that he didn’t just have another kid that he named xAI?

kmkz_ninja,

The child is called xAI, Elon has never thought about the idea that other people have life and intelligence, he’s going to explore the true nature of the universe by actually caring about his new kid.

Elon building AI, what could go wrong?

metaStatic,

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

All hail Elon

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

jry42,

Good for Elon, loving this!

EnderWi99in,

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..."

TheRealLDRMS,

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.

Givesomefucks,

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
