- siva7 2y agoSeems reasonable. If my employee acknowledges in public that competitor x is better, they will be fired. Shouldn’t surprise anyone yet here we are.
- neomantra 2y agoThen when you fire them, tell them that. But they threatened him using a different reason, a reason that he has support showing that his action was within guidelines. He’s also clear in his comments that xAI has the right to do whatever they want. He is giving more data points on how xAI/Twitter/Musk operate. This also doesn’t surprise anyone.
- jsnell 2y agoWe don't actually know what he was told. We only know what he is saying he was told, with no evidence, and in a context where he's playing to the crowd. He might have misinterpreted what he was told. He might have been told multiple problems, and only reported one. He might be actively lying.
- neomantra 2y agoThere was this differentiation and discussion in the thread. He claims he has the support. But you are correct, everything I’m relating is his statements on the Twitter thread. For all we know, the entire story could be false.
- ivewonyoung 2y agoGrok 3 is an unreleased product, he has access only because of his job and he's not authorized to speak publicly about it. So both of those apply.
- Hamuko 2y agoFrom what I'm reading, he has no access to Grok 3. https://x.com/BenjaminDEKR/status/1889543681188774300 https://x.com/BenjaminDEKR/status/1889543681188774300
- ineedasername 2y agoThen deciding not to take down a “random opinion of a guess” and instead opt to be fired is an extremely odd decision and/or hill to die on.
- new_user_final 2y agoHe didn't get fired for saying chatgpt is better than grok 3. He was fired for breaching confidential information which is performance of grok 3.
