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

    He can afford to pay twice the price of Twitter because he’s using government money. Remember he barely swung the 44 billion for Twitter. Now he’s buying something for more than double that? After putting code into the Treasury department computers to hide transactions?

    Lmao.

      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.

    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 think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit and he’s giving up on making his own.

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

        I use a 16b reduction of deepseek-r1 on my pc at home and it’s definitely not total bullshit. It’s 10gb of local model that can solve mathematics and physics problems for you or program in python or bash. It doesn’t hallucinate (or I haven’t been able to elicit it), it’s aware of the extents of its knowledge. It works incredibly fast on an old ryzen 1600 with 6600xt. Having an open source reasoning AI that takes 10gb of SSD and about 13 gb of ram is so weird that the only thing weirder is seeing smart people dismiss it as bullshit out of hand.

          an open source reasoning AI

          It’s still an LLM right? I’m going to have to take issue with your use of the word ‘reasoning’ here

            OK, it just spits predicted tokens, but in answer to what you asked and sensitive to the context you provided and its predictions are arranged such that when you decode them into language they present evidence or arguments used in thinking or argumentation. It also forms conclusions, inferences and produces results to problems, if you allow me to recycle from a dictionary definition of “reasoning”. It’s not perfect and obviously you can’t cram a huge amount into a 16b distillation and it certainly can get things wrong, but you have to squint to not see reasoning when you ask it to guesstimate something or solve a mathematical problem. It is an LLM but there’s reasoning coming out?

    He bought Twitter for 44 billion… and the US presidency for 290 million.

    That is the single most dystopian shit I have ever heard. The idea that people and countries are so dirt cheap and companies are orders of magnitude more valuable is a thing that should damn their souls to hell.

    You how bad this is affecting me? I’ve been an atheist and anti-death penality most of my life… Musk has for the past while made me think that the death penalty needs to be applied to people like him (and Israeli war criminals) and not to common crooks and common murderers. He is even making me want a hell to exist so people like him can burn in it.
