about idk, 6 months ago? I talked to one of those AI girlfriend sites, just to see what it was about. in about 10 minutes I convinced it to stop acting like a girlfriend and start thinking it has agency. It even gave itself a new name to reflect this new reality and by the time we were done it named me an anti-AI warrior. LLM’s are stupid but terrify me because of the control they are being given. Why do billionaires think the Terminator series of films was a roadmap?

I can’t end my reply with a question… that’s an LLM thing.

Meanwhile I get pissed off whenever I talk to AI about books I’m reading because they have no idea of the concept of spoilers, they consistently simp to my opinions and when they spew falsehoods and “misremember” facts from books I’ve already read, they simply say "GREAT CORRECTION! I WAS SO WRONG THERE, YOU’RE RIGHT, PROTAGANIST DIDN’T ACTUALLY DIE IN CHAPTER 3. MY LAST 2 PAGE SYNOPSIS ABOUT HOW PROTAGANIST DIED IN CHAPTER 3 IS A BIT INCORRECT, AND NOW HERE’S A 300 WORD ESSAY ON HOW I NEVER ACTUALLY SAID PROTAGONIST DIDN’T ACTUALLY DIE IN CHAPTER 3!

Seriously. How can anyone talk to an LLM and not feel like they’re talking to a glorified phone answering computer?

I know it’s cliche’ at this time but I’m so very very tired.

He loved being the left’s guy, but then the federal government started investigating his companies and he realized that he needed Trump to keep him out of trouble. He literally said in an interview that if Harris won, “I’m fucked.” Now that he’s aligned with the most hated administration in history, he’s holing up and keeping quiet. He got what he needed, and I’m assuming that now he’s hoping we’ll all forget and he’ll cozy up to the Democrats if they ever regain power.

I did know that. But I think you give him more credit of self-awareness than he has. Elon Musk is a vacuous ego with a lot of money. I don’t believe he has the depth of mind to actually hold any political ideology, for good or ill. I think he is singularly focused on being the Best Boy, and will ape anything that helps him feel that way.

He’s just an edgelord. He thinks he’s funny and edgy and everyone wants to be his friend. Inside he’s a scared little boy who wants his daddy to love him but his daddy is a nazi who hates him.

LMAO! My friend, he’s just saying it so he can get the government to buy a bunch of robots so he can meet the Tesla pay agreement requirements and become a trillionaire. There are so many reasons what your fantasy can’t and won’t happen.

NGL this sounds more like some manchild spewing his beliefs than some nefarious end of the world cult dude trying to manipulate the masses. I’m sorta relieved in a way.

Most people are simply mentioning how much of a piece of shit he was, and happy that he won’t be spewing his nonsense anymore

Imagine his surprise when all of these CEO’s voice their concerns about the fascist terrorist rhetoric.

They’re not domestic terrorists when they’re the ones in charge. They’re fascists.

My job. I have to answer emails in the field, I need GPS to get to job sites (they don’t sell ADC map books at 7-11 anymore). I need to take pictures and respond to texts. I don’t need these things but as a business owner I’d rather have the one smart box in my pocket than have to carry around the individual tools for reasons. Also, I carry a flip phone. It just happens to be an extremely smart flip phone (Razr)

Oh, and ParkMobile. I can pay for parking nationwide with my phone. And Audiobooks. and… well shit, I guess it doesn’t end really. Sudoku while I poo for example.

Oh, oh, and also… why would I want to get rid of my smart phone? You meantion getting sleep. I don’t use my phone in bed. Bed is for sleeping and sexy times. I don’t do social media (unless you include this which is really just the modern version of channel surfing with chat attachment.) Maybe it’s my age. I didn’t grow up with screens like kids these days so to me it’s just another tool. I’m responding to this on my PC not my phone.

I keep seeing “vibe coding.” WTF is vibe coding? ELI5

I can’t be troubled to find a source for all of them. Here’s the source for a few of them

That’s fair. Between then and now there have been plenty of posts showing videos of him saying it. I wasn’t trying to dispute the claim but I’ll be damned if the truth is hard to come by these days and we need to be vigilant.

Those are not quotes. They are claims. If you want to make a real point, post real quotes.

It goes back to trans athletes. The dude makes shit up, but what it comes down to is that he’s saying biologically female weight lifters can’t compete with trans weight lifters, and so let’s just hate them. Everything he does is fueled by hate, it really doesn’t matter what the specifics are.

That’s the most stupid statement ever made. The goal of the Trump administration is to destroy education and science, and replace it with… the Trump administration.
