How does Musk have so much time to write e-mails and tweets? Is that literally all he does all day? My work e-mail inbox has like... 2000 e-mails in an entire year, including a bunch of stuff I'm involved in but never actually e-mailed myself.
When did America stop dreaming big? On colonizing/exploring Mars and hating on Musk
- Thread starter arcite
- Start date
I just did a quick check... I average 8,000 emails per year... (at least for 2019 till current).
And most of those are personally embarrassing, according to Texas!
He averages 68 Tweets/day (not including email). Several years ago he was posting >~10x/day than any other CEO (before buying Twitter and DOGE). While being CEO of 3 companies. It's no wonder that they're mismanaged.
With Musk it probably helps the companies if he'd busy posting and not doing any damage.
Grok now praising Musk.
Elon Musk’s Grok AI tells users he is fitter than LeBron James and smarter than da Vinci
He's also the greatest parent in history:
And there's more...
What a sad and pathetic little man, to build a machine to flatter his ego.
The article is worth a read for laughs.

And he also has the time and energy to play not only Diablo iv but also the competitor action rpg’s as well like path of exile.
Yeah, in another 5 years they can get that down to 75% redacted!
Saw someone game that in a vulgar way:
And another example of Grok spewing Holocaust denialism (in French this time).

Quoting:
I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate. Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they wereX is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.
La #LDH porte plainte contre la publication de #Grok, l’intelligence artificielle du réseau social X, pour contestation de crimes contre l’humanité.
Seems to be repeating the bullshit promulgated by the execution technician profiled in the documentary Mr. Death, who was asked to go to Auschwitz and find out if gassing happened and because of the way he bungled his (highly illegal) sample acquisition and testing failed to find evidence of the cyanide being used. The movie makes it clear that the testing lab disavowed these results because they weren't informed of how the samples were collected nor what kind of tests they were running, so the samples were too diluted to be useful.
Wonder if we'll see that go up in Grokipedia...
It doesn’t take nearly as long as you’d think to hire someone else to play for you just so you can try to seem cool.

Musk has spent years trying to "retrain" Grok to be less "Woke" but it has become an endless pendulum of Full on Nazi to "Woke".
It's actually in interesting study on how difficult AI models are to train with a specific agenda.

I wonder did he outsource it to China/India/Africa or he used local hire in Texas, USA.

And here I thought that he hires people to play those games for him....
Musk said this week that work will become optional in 10 or 20 years because of huge increases in productivity from AI and robots.
He made these comment appearing with Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia at a US-Saudi Arabia investment forum. Probably tied to the butcher MBS making a state visit to Washington DC.

Yeah the guy who wants to become a trillionaire is saying that we merely mortals won’t need money a decade or two from now.
Remember his past predictions, we should have level 5 self-driving cars 5 or 10 years ago. Didn’t he also predict that we’d be on Mars by now or real soon?
Oh guess what he has AI and robotics startups.

Judge him by his actions. Is he using what resource he controls (or in the case of DOGE has controlled) to make people less dependent on personal wealth? He put a lot of people out of work but that's not the same thing, is it?
I’m a tad obsessed with North Korean history. This is some Kim Il Sung and later further intensified by his son, Kim Jong Il, cult of personality level of extremism.
Thing is everything we know about North Korea is second hand information from defectors. We don’t really know how extreme the cult of personality is because so much of it sounds bat shit crazy to believe. Part of why I go back to reading about North Korea so much because it reads like fiction.
Then Musk comes along and now I have to accept the reality there are men as delusional as the head of the Kim family and Musk.
Trump isn’t grandiose as he is just a fucking moron who has learnt as a rich white kid and later as a rich white man that he gets rewarded by people around him for sounding like a self aggrandising douche bag. Half the country loves Trump because he speaks the way they wish they could speak about themselves. (Which is kinda sad. But that’s another thread into why American culture is so broken.) So with Trump there’s a feedback loop of Americans who actively wants to believe in all things Trump.
With Musk (and the Kim family) they have to use resources to manipulate the message and there’s almost a certainty there’s no actual feedback loop from the larger population.
And that is surreal. No one thinks Musk is awesome. Not like Trump who gets told by his close circle of opportunists and 70 million Americans he’s the bestest thing ever. So that Elon Musk has to get Grok to elevate his status to such ridiculous degrees is amusing.
Do you think we can manipulate Grok into learning from posts like mine when it goes through its next cycle of scrapping the internet for context?

There's fictional villains that I thought were over the top that I've had to re-think since the cave incident.
The fact that I know what you’re talking about - and also around the time I took a deeper look at who this Musk guy was - is telling.
In Hong Kong and the rest of this part of Asia it was a lot of eye rolling because of the “white saviour complex.” Initially I think we saw it as well meaning but then the insults started and we quickly got the picture of who Musk may really be.
I don't doubt but that Musk (and the Kim family) are both surrounded by a close circle of courtiers that they are the bestest thing ever: heavenly beings unable to make mistakes. Honestly, this is one of three clearest ways that power corrupts; nobody wants to tell a powerful vengeful man that his shit stinks; and they want to tell him that he just shat on the floor in the middle of the room even less. This is why, when a project is an utter disaster, the man in charge is usually the last person to know.

That's the incident that opened my eyes to Musk as well. Once they were open, I didn't like what I was seeing.
The cave incident is also when I have started seeing the problem with Musk. I was going to put in a preorder for a model 3 at the time.
That's definitely a big part of it, but there's something else I've wondered about. My wife, years before I met her, worked in fairly 'hip' bars and clubs. She didn't want to socialize, so she was something of an asshole to keep people at arms's length. The more of an asshole she was, the more people fawned over her. She thought it was really disgusting.
An actual asshole would probably think it the best thing ever.
It appears to me that in the twitter acquisition musk lost advertising revenue and increased costs with grok ai which like ChatGPT I don’t see turning profitable anytime…ever.
How would twitter maybe get unwound from musk? It seems to me that musk has enough international funding from the likes of SoftBank, Larry Ellison, and the saudis that he can run losses indefinitely on twitter.

Musk bought twitter not to make money. Musk bought twitter to turn it into his very own little propaganda outlet. If it loses money doing so, I doubt Musk cares all that much.
Grok is also more of a propaganda tool than a real product imho.

Musk made his returns getting his man in the White House through his X platform. I think it was yesterday I saw news headlines that DOGE has been disbanded and the individuals involved have been moved to other projects. The prevailing theory is that Musk got his data and is doing lord knows what with it.

‘That doesn’t exist’: Doge reportedly quietly disbanded ahead of schedule
Yes! I made a thread specifically on this, but it got moved to the Lounge (so I can't respond anymore), and it turned into a debate about the relative productivity gains of LLMs, which I think is really missing the point, and not why I started the thread.
I'd rather see distributed smaller propaganda outlets (factual ones) operated by people interested in narrowly-focused subject areas. Centralized untrustworthy ones owned by oligarchs isn't likely to benefit the rest of us.
ETA: It's also important that trusted independent data repositories (wikipedia, archive.is, etc.) stay that way. Efforts to squash those do, IMO, speak to persuasion, but I'll leave it there.

ChatGPT whispering in your ear that you're a good person while you stomp on a human face, forever.
I don’t think musk had a well thought out plan with twitter. Objectively speaking he would financially be better off without it. He overpaid for it, then realized that the value of it was in its influence and not as an ad revenue generator, then fell down a rabbit hole of anti woke.
If only the deleware court had allowed him to back away from the purchase…
He may have paid too much for it, but I think he wanted it as a propaganda platform from the get-go.
I sometime wonder how many of them consider what they are doing it as a propaganda or they are literally that delusional about the reality.
Well, I regret to inform you: The Way Billionaires Are Using AI May Cause Concern They Have Actual Brain Damage
That's an article from Futurism that describes how JPMorgan asked 111 billionaire clients how they make use of artificial intelligence. I think there was one that sounded down to earth.
Then again, from our perspective does it really matter? I'm guessing it's some of both.
