Tech Thread

He's a Presto-level troll at best. He deeply cares about how he's perceived and loves the praise he gets for "owning" libs. But the guy has aspergers so him being incredibly bizarre is not really his fault or in his control. Not that I'd ever be sympathetic to a billionaire but I have to acknowledge his medical condition.
 
highly intelligent people are capable of being complete dumbasses, as demonstrated by Musk (assuming he is highly intelligent)

…it’s also emotional intelligence that he’s lacking in more than anything.

Not to mention being intelligent is hardly a cure for desperately wanting to be cool/liked/craving attention.

Musk is very socially awkward with a terrible sense of humour, (watch him on Maher or anywhere that he tries particularly hard to be funny on camera and it’s cringe inducing)…..on Twitter tho, he’s realized he can be an edgelord via text, and doesn’t have to worry about timing, tone, or delivery of material, and a huge proportion of people will eat it up.

It’s why he spends such a disproportionate amount of time on Twitter….doing the same “edgy” gimmick on repeat. (imo)

I didn’t want to say it, but this is obviously a factor in why his attempts as humour fail so badly in person/on TV too……which tweeting helps pave over a bit.

You’re also a better troll than him.

He's certainly also I'm sure changing people's perceptions on whether we need more of a wealth tax. If every billionaire was like Dolly Parton or even Bill Gates, that'd be one thing. But is there anyone who wouldn't love the government taxing Elon an extra like 5B a year just for fun?
 
Yeah, it’s the cuck insult that’s showing his insecurity, especially given his history. Like when that guy Diamondhoarder came in here shouting cuck this and cuck that and then revealed his partner was about to have a baby. What a terrible fear that would be, and how sad that these guys confuse admitting to it with being tough guy alpha males putting others in their place.

If Elon was saying “fuck you” to the world, he’d be talking about his money, not about the one thing that reminds everyone he’s kind of a loser.

Anyway, the threads CEO was just talking about how threads is aiming to be a bit like Twitter but without all the negativity. And then Elon does this. Zuck is probably pretty happy with it.

as I said to some friends, I never thought I'd meet the individual who could turn the Zuckerfucker into a somewhat sympathetic character. well, Mr. Musk did a helluva job...
 
Will be a fascinating case. I wonder if the defendants will try some version of the infinite monkey theorem.

I think they could get away with that if they didn't train using the material. There's probably going to be some "fair use" arguments, like presumably Coles Notes has been able to read novels and write summaries of them, this is just taking that to the next level. How much is training on the full text a real "derivative work" vs simply taking inspiration.

But yeah, in the end, I think the argument will revolve around the level of ownership any of these AI models should be allowed to use to train with. Obviously they should be able to read anything public domain about these works - so learning from wikipedia, or reviews of novels, or whatever is fine. But how much can they incorporate into their actual model that they use?
