    I have an even better idea. We should connect all of the defense systems, including nukes, to an AI. It’ll be a great network across the sky using starlink satellites. I think we could call it SkyNet.

    Oh boy, there are so many ways this can go wrong. Thought police that arrest you for a slightly out of context comment, or SkyNet decides that the best way to deal with a Narco boss is to start WW3.

    Here we see elon writing a contract to himself to push ai into doing only god knows what and take our money. No conflict of interest to see here, the plans are public in Elon’s brain for people to review and question.

        No. That’s not fair.

        If anyone from the media questions it, Elon will take personal responsibility by either offering an interview (IF they promise to air it unedited. And should they agree, as they probably will, he will renege because said media outlet can not be trusted.)

        Or he will challenge them to a cage fight (and then later silently renege because frankly, he is in no shape to fight even a 72 year old russian dictator.)

    Assuming we correct course and stop our spiral into authoritarianism in 4 years, we’re going to have to completely rebuild our entire federal tech infrastructure. It simply can’t be trusted after these traitors. The possibility of backdoors is simply too high. It’s going to cost billions and billions of dollars.

    We’re all going to need new Social Security numbers, because this dumbfuck now has them all on his private servers.

    The most frustrating part is that both the republican senators and house members KNOW this makes no sense, but they don’t have the balls to say anything. Our government is so fucked.

      it’s not about sense. it’s about derealization, overwhelming, doing their best to “flood the zone with shit”. makes people give up. makes people not care about the truth. makes people forget there is such a thing as truth, and cleave to simple bullshit tribal identities.

      they kind of need this, because everything they want to do is fucking monstrous, and if anyone ever talked about it honestly at scale, they would all be hanged or beheaded in about five minutes. it’s their only hope of keeping power. chat bots are a great tool for making it happen.

    Are they going to outsource data entry to india? All AI “benefits” are almost solely derived from outsourcing.

    Who am I kidding, this is probably just a scheme to get the government to pay for “Grok” which might as well be a word that means “garbage”

      That’s because he and his kind believe government is useless and can just be broken without losing anything important. From their point of view, government is just a thing that takes money from them and spends it on people who don’t deserve to live because they’re not asshole billionaire techbros. And it makes poor people’s lives slightly less unpleasant by giving them money and services, which billionaires don’t like because it makes the poor less desperate and exploitable.

        kinda like racks of servers that keep a social media site used by 100s of millions of users? the ones muskrat just yanked willy-nilly out of a data center and loaded onto uhauls? it took weeks for twitter to repair that damage.

      He’s either

      • an incompetent moron who thinks AI eventually will be like in the movies, you just need to push throught its teething pains,
      • someone that tries to destroy the government and its services through weaponized incompetence, so they can be privatized,
      • both, because I saw way too many things in real life.

        He seems to go on these benders, that probably involve copious amounts of uppers, where he get these bright ideas. The fact that someone like that has control over our whole government and economy is scary.

    Is there anyone else out there that refuse to call them by that stupid fucking name? It’s like buying into a teenaged 4chan-dwelling edgelord’s sad joke.

    It only fuels their dumb bullshit.
