Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion
-
I've had people on Reddit and Lemmy dispute my comments by citing ChatGPT... AI is a really innovative wrench that people are using as a hammer.
-
Tesla investors are starting to care, it seems.
-
But that's socialism.
-
Yeah I see what you mean. There's a decent argument to be made that something like reasoning appears as an emergent property in this kind of system, I'll admit. Still, the fact that fundamentally the code works as a prediction engine rules out any sort of real cognition, even if it makes an impressive simulacrum. There's just no ability to invent, no true novelty, which -- to my mind at least -- is the hallmark of actual reasoning.

chatgpt is still useful for things as long as you dont put too much trust in it.
Yep, its very useful for generating buzzword salad, so I use it for cover letters for job postings.
-
Yep, seems legit, eh?
-
I wonder why his offer wasn't 69.420 billion?
-
Pretty much what I use my locally hosted LLM for. Might not be as good as ChatGPT but I don't really care.
-
B Type corps have a fair number of investors, looking to invest. A lot of investors look for socially conscious investments.
-
Lmao, musk is on record as making absurd offers and then trying everything he can to back out of them. I'm not sure why he offered this himself instead of getting a consortium of investors together to do so on his behalf without any involvement from him.
-
I don't see this option sadly, only block instance/community/user. Would love to block Trump/Musks fucking faces from my life.
-
Isn't this what he did with Twitter and the courts forced him to honor the offer?
-
But they aren’t required to sell though.
-
I’ve never understood how you can take out a loan to buy a company, turn around and place all that debt on the company you just bought, and have no personal ramifications when the company goes belly up because the debt load is too high.
-
Yes, they could remain private but they are attempting to go public. This action is a legal speedbump that they must now work really hard to maneuver around.
-
Less. Our population is something like 330m now I think.
-
I wonder if that'd work. Do a crowdfunding for certain legislation, and pay it out to whoever votes for it (with a bonus for whoever first proposes the legislation). Dystopian as fuck, but perhaps worth an experiment.
-
Destroy it?
Like he destroyed Twitter by turning it into his personal propaganda outlet, maybe.
It sounds to me like he's just positioning himself to control an AI tech provider who will conveniently be contracted to replace all the government positions he is trying to eliminate.
-
I feel like "look at twitter" is probably enough of a defence to decline president musk.
It would probably need to be wordier for court proceedings. -
Pretty sure he's now functionally the worlds richest man (including oligarchs with a lot of hidden wealth) what with his newly aquired un-supervised access to 6 trillion in US government funds.
