OpenAI Swiftly Rebuffs Musk's Surprise $97.4 Billion Buyout Attempt

because all CEOs must be as boring as Tim Cook, otherwise they're considered "totally insane".

I don't think they have to be boring, but I do think the celebrity-like, big ego, CEO is very negative thing.

That said, if they were universally as boring as Cook, we would be in a better place. How much do you know about Andy Jasey, Darren Woods or Jim Farley?

agree to disagree. world would be incredibly boring. we need more jobs/musk type of CEOs. they inherently create more radical products.

Feel free to make more "radical products", but stay out of politics, endorsements and D.C.

I personally prefer boring companies, but I don't get my excitement and interests satiated by corporations.

it comes with the territory. those who are outspoken or who are willing to do things that are out of the social norm generally are wired to try radical things which results in incredibly different products.

you'd never get an iPhone if Tim Cook was at the helm of Apple between 2000-2010. you'd have a blackberry keyboard type of phone.

Steve was not involved in DC politics.

Elon wasn't involved in politics as much when Steve was alive.

Who knows what Steve would have tweeted if he was alive today.

I don't think much of anything, because he let his products speak for him. Ego Elon does it other way around, and now has trashed his brand around the world and has to lie (fsd) to keep Tesla stock pumped.

Hah, Pizza Hut did just that:

BBC News | Sci/Tech | A rocket with extra pepperoni

Maybe I knew that in my subconscious? 😂 I can’t believe the odds of that.

 

[Luposian]

Altman creates ChatGPT (AI "savior"), which he then realizes is a danger, so he creates WorldCoin/Orb (second "savior") to counteract the first "savior". Isn't it just like the devil, to play both sides of the coin like that! And we already know that Elon Musk IS a minion of Satan!

Elon Musk dresses up as ‘Devil’s Champion’ for New York Halloween party

Elon Musk didn’t allow the responsibilities of becoming CEO at a third major company curb his Halloween spirit this year

www.the-independent.com

And both "devils" (Musk and Altman) are throwing sand in each other's face, in this Twitter "spat", effectively distracting us from their true (unified) goal... ruling over US as their cattle, in the cages of control they're slowly building around us, day by day... and we barely even notice nor care. Don't believe me? Prove me wrong.

I'm guessing neither of you have bought a business and turned what was more or less a hobby/fun project in to a world phenomena? It isn't easy to do.

I’ll take that bet and raise you a Twitter.

"It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was," Musk said in a statement

Elon is an evil fascist techbro, who was not voted in, and illegally invaded your government and stole your personal info. He is absolutely worthless and is the last person to talk about "safety" or "for good"

 

[frownface]

He'll probably now use his govt friends to force openai to do it.

Basically an 'adult' version "i'm going to tell mom if you don't share your toys with me"

 

[CarlJ]

I would be happy to see Apple buy OpenAI just to keep it out of Musk's hands.

 

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

him and kanye west are particulary insane

iPhone 4 antenna gate, MobileMe, 3Ghz G5?

Going "thermonuclear war" against Android?

Ego Elon does it other way around, and now has trashed his brand around the world

Model Y is the #1 car in the world in 2023 and as soon as other car manufacturers report their numbers, on track to be #1 again in 2024. https://uk.motor1.com/news/749080/tesla-anticipates-modely-retain-world-best-sales/

FSD drove me thousands of miles hands free.

 

[bigandtasty]

He’s a troll and chaos agent who is funded by dictatorships who pump up his stock to bribe him. Same thing Trump does with all his listed companies, properties, gold sneakers and meme coins. It’s all bribery.

The enemy has taken over and is gutting your government. The next phase is to turn a blind eye to terrorism around the world so that private armies and private construction companies can get fat contracts. They will not be your friends. They will blow up neighborhoods all over the place using false excuses.

Little bit off topic, but very funny. Good stuff. 🤣

FSD doesn't exist, in beta or otherwise. How many times has level 5 been coming "this year"?

No cabinet members are ever voted in for any administration. The current administration campaigned on auditing all spending and is doing what they ran on. Not sure how performing an audit equates to invading the government and stealing personal info.

I would trust Musk far more with information than Sam Altman and Microsoft. The OpenAI board fired him for a reason before being forced to hire him back. He is in it for himself and rushing things with little thought to controls and what might happen with AI - people should be far more concerned about AGI.

All cabinet members are confirmed by a vote of the Senate.

Sure, but why? Other than he shares your politics. He consistently lies to benefit himself. Personally, I don't trust either of them, because the power they have is inherently corrupting.

Someone said "The purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill, while preventing skill from accessing wealth." (Or something close to that.) Unless you are prepared to move to a more socialist society, we can't survive the super rich controlling a larger and larger share of the country's wealth.

Lol at thinking FSD beta is level 5. FSD beta existed and it graduated from beta. Sorry, you're wrong.

Worldwide sales slump - yet #1 car in the world. Your argument isn't working at all. 🤣

 

[breenmask]

With how his illegal raiding of the US Gov is going, and the overtaken courts and congress complicity, we may be just a few news cycles away from OpenAI being nationalized and Musk just "taking it"

I'm sure we're a few news cycles away from twitter "shutting down" too huh? how did that prediction turn out?

 

[breenmask]

the emphasis here is the word "was" as in "past tense".

because the act of starting of the company finished. no one says SpaceX is still being started by Musk for example.

 

[breenmask]

You are joking?
The guy is an imbecile but also a VERY good con man.
He hasn't really got a handle on what he's talking about and this can be seen in interviews when he's asked mildly technical questions. His ego is so big that instead of sharing the limelight, (with someone that actually knows the subject), he'd rather ramble through it in a disjointed and vague way that he hopes will convince people and it appears that he's convinced idiots in the millions, (no not aimed at you - really more at those that go to his keynotes and swallow the same vapourware time and time again.

except John carmack (world famous for founding id software) admits Elon absolutely knows the subject matter down to the minute details in rocket engineering.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1038832124747571200

"Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at spacex and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so."
