Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion
-
-
Well this time he actually is one of the founders. He invested 45 million and was co-chair
-
Why buy it now and not earlier?

There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
Do you mean LLM's or other means to get factual info?
It seems to me that LLM's are not a very good way to get factual information due to limitations of the technology (models try to write as plausible text as possible, not as factually correct as possible) Yet using search engines is a pain due to how many ChatGPT-generated SEO optimized websites are there, which are written not by experts in their fields, but random copywriters. I really have no idea where to get truth about anything at this point.

It's not "because I don't like hearing about bad things" but rather "I am focusing on what I can control instead of what I cannot control".
It's a strategic move to maximize the good you can do for yourself and your immediate environment instead of dwelling on all the bad things happening to each one of the 8 billion people

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.
