Now I wonder if Musk calling the diver "pedo guy" was him thinking "yeah, this is exactly what Tony Stark would say to the bad guy" because he doesn't understand media literacy even a little bit. (More likely, it's just him being the regular type of weird we've come to expect from him)

Meta's happy to give away models for free, so models are evidently worth $0.

You're correct that I can't stop them from making pants on head stupid decisions, but I'm not going to stop making fun of them.

very likely making it economically viable…

They're going to fund currently economically nonviable nuclear plants to power their currently economically nonviable genAI schemes? Over the time horizon of ~~25 years~~ a decade (edit: misread the article) before they scale up energy capacity at all past the rnd stage? Maybe pants on head is too generous.

Cool.

The Network School offers Johnson’s healthy food and a fitness program called the Blueprint Protocol. He claims that after three years of following his blueprint the duration of his night-time erections totals 179 minutes, “better than the average 18-year-old”

Yeah, this is a very normal diet that's advertising itself in very normal ways.

The logical conclusion of normalizing "Social Media Manager" as a role in companies is that as they get better at their jobs and become more believable, the average corporate communication will trend towards 13-year old edgy shitposter. God I feel old.

I'm thoroughly convinced Musk is an AI generated person and his life's goal is simply to find the AI that generated him.

I know generally speaking, people want to use very exacting language when talking about technicals, so it's not that strange when people hedge edge cases - it's just what they're taught to do in their careers.

But, when we're talking about financials, instead of being detailed and careful, it's just sounds desperate when you have to tack on a hundred dollar value add to your supposedly million dollar company.

That same tired script of "You can't say AI is useless, I use it as a $productivityApp, so it's clearly not worth nothing, which invalidates all your claims." shows up in Zitron's comment box, it's like clockwork.

I dunno man, maybe it's because the ability to generate templates and spellcheck is a free feature in most IDEs and would be a rounding error of a rounding error when we're talking about billion dollar investments?

Wasn't the first time he shut down 8chan (or was it Kiwifarms? Something along the lines), he immediately came out to say "It's really bad that I have the power to take down a website of shitheads." Just seemed like everything about his ideology is confused.

Astounding, they've made noSQL for filesystems!
