I think assuming he’ll build or train anything is giving him too much credit. Based on his Twitter behavior, I can only imagine it’ll just be him setting up a messaging service branded as “TruthGPT” and he just types the answers.
And TruthGPT? Did he just…straight up name it after Truth Social? Are we just building a “Truth” ecosystem now? Confederacy 2.0 is going to be called TruthMerica, isn’t it… I guess Colbert called it.
Elon-AI definitely would have stormed the Capitol on Jan 6.
I’m wavering between “it’s supposed to be a joke but it’s impossible to tell for sure because Elon is so terrible at humor” and “yes, Elon just unironically mashed up ‘ChatGPT’ and ‘Truth Social’ because he doesn’t have an original idea in his head.”
Said the least interesting member of the human race
Silly Elon, everyone knows the answer is 42.
If successful, I am not sure that Musk would be happy with what it has to say about him…
Sounds better in the original Russian.
Pravda
Or, it sees the existential threat humanity presents to itself and says “here, let me finish that for you”.
And determine that from concentrated Internet. The answer is probably going to be porn.
Ba-ba-ra! Hot cho-co-late!
“Kill them all!”
“I hear you.”
“What’s wrong with the cornfield?”
Rule #42: The Meaning of Porn
Isn’t Elon one of the many tech “luminaries” who spoke out about how AI would eventually destroy all human life as we know it?
Other people’s AI. Don’t worry, his is just going to ponder on the meaning of life, the universe, and everything and then come up with the answer 69.
If he follows the trend in the quant crowd, he will give it money (or arrange to have it given other people’s money) to invest, and it will of course go for the worst possible investments for society.
