      OpenAI's Yahoo! moment. In a decade it'll be worthless.

        You guys both posted it within a few seconds of each other judging by my app updating the time. Impressive.

          not even one-third of the valuation openai thinks they're worth (up to 340b). and still below what investors thought in 2022 (157b). src

          I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted

            Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I'd take it. Unless they've got more secrets up their sleeve I don't seem them ever being worth that much.

              He'd be allowed to back out on this one unlike Twitter. He'd use his power with trump to prevent the SEC from forcing the sale to go through like the SEC did with Twitter.

                It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.

                  Why not make it an even 100 billion is what I would ask if I were uninformed, which I am, so it's what I'm asking.

                    I’m referring to his complaints about open ai moving towards a for profit business model. Musk wants to stop this.

                        Musk isnt very good at that. He seems to Godzilla's his way through one company at a time, while interns clean up behind him.

                            Still slows down some of their other goals. Attention and resources aren't infinite. The more they wear themselves thin on things that don't matter / have less bad outcomes, the better

                                Is xAI the same as grok? I really haven’t paid attention to Musk.

                                Has there been any improvement in fsd since the introduction of the AI initiatives?

                                Given what happened to twitter I can see this deal being finalized at 600billion.

                                  i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit

                                  Well, to be 100% fair, it's all total bullshit.

                                    The best and most affordable way for Elon Musk to "make the world a better place" would be to drop dead.

                                      That's a really low offer; the company easily at the very least has three times that valuation.

                                        1. Buy company A for shit ton of money
                                        2. Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
                                        3. Still have shit ton of money
                                        4. Repeat with company B

                                          I mean, yeah. That was the entire point of him buying it: to control one of the biggest social media networks ever, and to use that to push and pull the public discourse however he wanted, in the interest of being a kingmaker. And it fucking worked.
