The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents. 'It should be possible to simulate [Microsoft] entirely with AI,' Musk says.

Sounds like something a teenager would come up with - this is exactly what I'd expect Musk to do

It is literally a joke I made in high school, ~25 years ago.

He’s such a loser.

Same lol. Macrohard Doors here we come!

[–] YodaDaCoda@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Same! I made a MacroHard company that sold computer mice for a high school project.

Too early. Comedy is all about timing.

Yes, for an actual fucking grown ass adult and a business leader, this is embarrassing as hell

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He's such a fucking simple edge-lord.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

He's literally JP from Grandma's Boy.

[–] juliebean@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

that is a very unflattering comparison for JP.

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

He should totally get metal legs.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It is. Dial-up nerds have been calling Microsoft exactly that online for literal decades at this point. He's not even original.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

maybe he told the joke to his latest meat shield and the toddler, knowing how much money was on the line, chose to laugh

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's an old joke that the opposite of Microsoft Office is Macrohard Onfire

[–] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago

Haha, yeah that joke was pretty funny... back in 1993.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

I used to say this as a joke in middle-school all the time.
