He can regurg briefings, look again at what he says in anything you’re an expert in. E.g. software: he’s a total fraud.

The stochastic parrot argument. It seems there’s no evidence that will change your opinion. Also, have a look at recent unedited videos of Tesla’s self driving. It’s not everything that was promised and it’s much later than promised, but it sure is impressive. However I agree it is being oversold and that’s extremely scummy.

The amount of effort people take to try to convince themselves Elon is just a relatively average (or even moronic!) intellect who got successful via non virtuous means is absolutely impressive. To attempt to be civil, I will also state I find the hero worshiping of Elon to be similarly deranged.

In my noob eyes, I think he just doesn't care much about software. He kinda have the same radical motto (delete, reduce, combine, forget the past, forget the mainstream.. basically what he says around min 20 in the video above. which is not far from move fast and break things) and he got a lot of success before with that so he just barged in twitter applying this brainlessly.

With rockets, he is deeply involved in the area and his proficiency have been confirmed by top engineers, a few quotes from them here: https://old.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/evidence_that_musk_is_the_chief_engineer_of_spacex/ https://old.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/eviden... I'm not sure about Elon's proficiency with software, but based on his comments on twitter I'd lean on him being out of touch there. He does seem to be knowledgeable on the AI/DL side though, see Andrej Karpathy's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33703617 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33703617

Would you please stop posting like this? It's tedious, not what this site is for, and you've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html p.s. I don't care whether it's boo or yay, we just don't want shallow flamewars on this site.

  >mudslinging (or mud wrestling for that matter). Dan, this line of yours cracked me up! Big Time! Gave me a good laugh. (which I don't get to do much these days)
