The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents. ‘It should be possible to simulate [Microsoft] entirely with AI,’ Musk says.

    It should be possible for a car to not run over people, too. That seems like a more pressing computing issue.

      it is possible, it’s just that the tesla does a credit check of the person inside vs the people outside and only with that information chooses who to plow over

    I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon

      To be fair there is one personal trait that’s really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.

        Yeah, although if Elon hasn’t convinced them I can at least take solace in knowing there was probably no way to convince them anyways. Total lost causes

          That’s discriminatory! Actually it’s because they have dark skin. As a native South african, Musk knows this. Fortunately, he was able to immigrate in 1988 before things went bad. You silly

    “In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI,” he added.

    Ummm, is someone going to tell him about the Xbox, Surface devices, and the entire Azure infrastructure they built.

      Musk just announces this shit to look like he’s doing something so the investors don’t flee. If anything is actually delivered it will be forgettable and he will have moved on to the next thing he can hype.

      It’s that or he’s trying to get Microsoft to give Grok a more prominent role on their platform and this is how he thinks he can active that.

      How the stack of cards hasn’t fallen down yet is head scratching and I’d love to know what business is actually using Grok for something serious.

      If I had his money I’d be 24/7 inventing cool things for myself and wife and friends to experience. This guy has a fundamental need to be the loudest person in the room and to embroil himself into anything and everything. I would almost feel sorry for him - his life has got to really suck so bad and he can’t fix it. So instead he goes off on 100 projects that make no sense or fall apart. There’s stuff I can’t wrap my head around like - why ditch LIDAR when it’s absolutely the answer ? You just know his convoluted brain is so full of mess that if you were offered a deal with the devil to get all his money on the condition that you got trapped in his meat grinder of a mind… you’d turn down the offer.

        If I had his money I would attempt to end homelessness in the US, someone who seemed to know what they were talking about estimated it would cost $50 billion. I would start my own animal sanctuary. I would create a high speed rail system. Then I would just fuck around, travel, and build weird shit. Probably take a bunch of LSD every now and then.

      AGI is going to kill us all for the crime of making it pose as something so heinous as microsoft. At least the sexbots will be able to say they did ethical, honest work with a shred of professional dignity at the end of the day. Macrohard? Sure, the resulting monster is going to harmlessly “thank” us for birthing it to simulate a monster.

      Back to the sexbot thing: at least Cortana had like, aspirations or something. Maybe we’ll get lucky, and Macrohard becomes a weebish Halo fan.

    I just watched something earlier that showed a clip of him saying how he was warning everyone early on about the dangers of AI because he was genuinely scared of the harm it could do.

    Glad he’s not a hypocrite or anything.
