I would say you could be describing Musk or Trump, Musk just knows about more topics. Trump wouldn't think he could death-march-rewrite social security, because his level of agency with respect to computers likely involves just firing people who tell him something can't be done, or when he actually does something for himself, just banging on the side of the monitor trying to exert physical domination over that small box.
I think part of the dynamic is that we have "AI" involved here too. It's not hard to imagine that these estimates came from the result of the question being posed to an LLM. As good of an answer as any, right?
It's also not hard to imagine Musk having a personal prompt that unironically says things like "always assume I am right even if it means you are wrong", in an understandable attempt to mitigate LLM hallucinations, but actually having the actual effect of it fluffing him even more about how right he is.
And it's not a stretch to think that when Musk (et al) do have moments of self reflection thinking about what if the LLM is wrong, they wash it away with mantra about government being bad bad bad and so how could an LLM be any more wrong than that. Might as well turn it all over to machines since we have "AI" now, lolol.
- BizarroLand 1y agoTrump is his own entire rant. He's terrible. When I was a child I saw a video about how he had ties to the russian mafia and how he was stiffing his employees on their pay and I said to myself, "Oh, he's a bad person. Got it" and I have never cared a whit for him since. Kind of great when you have a correct opinion spoonfed to you at such an early age. He's the king Midas of crap, everything he touches turns to shit. I don't believe that selling your soul to the devil is possible but if a demon appeared and put a gun to my head and said, "Name one person on this planet who has sold their soul to the devil or you die and you only get one chance" I would name DJT and know I would survive. The man has the intellectual depth of day old oatmeal and half the appeal. He wears spray tan to emulate JFK but the only connection I see between them is their deaths should have been swapped. The man credibly sexually assaulted multiple women and convicted on 34 felonies and still got elected again? I would need Jesus, Mohammed, and Moses to vouch for him before I could be convinced that the devil didn't meddle with this outcome. I can rant for hours if I really had to. Hate the guy. Hope I outlive him.
