Lmfao. Why would anyone care about Musk's politics when using Azure + Grok. If it's good for the job, it's good for the job.

- Mashimo 1y agoCould say the same about Tesla cars, yet they don't sell that well any more.
- yungporko 1y agoi'd guess that it has more to do with the fact that people keep vandalising them rather than individuals suddenly picking buying teslas as the one thing to take a stand against when this never seems to happen in any effective capacity for other issues.
- Robdel12 1y agoTeslas have always been objectively bad cars. Inconsistent panel gaps, bad paint from the factory, poor build quality, etc. The car folks have always known this. It’s taken elons politics for tech folks to realize.
- tacitusarc 1y agoI’ve always disliked their lack of physical buttons and general interior aesthetic. However, a buddy of mine got T-boned in one by a distracted driver running a light at high speed, and he walked away fine. The car was completely mangled except for passenger space where it held. I’ve not called it a bad car after seeing photos from that.
- op00to 1y agoThe car met crash standards? Literally the bare minimum.
- frollogaston 1y agoThey've always had exceptionally high NIH ratings
- const_cast 1y agoCorrect. The only reason Tesla even stood a chance is they had close to zero competition. As soon as the car companies who, you know, know how to make cars starting dipping their toes in, it was over. It takes time for inertia to be overcome but it will, and once that inflection point is reached there's nothing anyone can do. Tesla could have prevented this by being proactive and chasing new designs and new interiors before they felt any pressure to. But like all American companies, once they have even a hint of market success, they give up. They just keep doing whatever they're doing because clearly it's working. Until one day you look around and your competition is 10 years ahead of you and you've been sitting with your thumb up your ass. Oops. Better catch up right now. Except you can't, so you rush it, and then your quality and delivery suffers even more, so the gap only widens because while you're playing catch-up your competitors just keep marching forward. We saw it with GM, we saw it with Ford, and now we're seeing it with Tesla. Is this unavoidable?
- frollogaston 1y agoThere doesn't seem to be a better EV in the US that's affordable. But I hate the touch screen, so I didn't ever buy one.
- inferiorhuman 1y agoPushing objectively false answers should render an AI doodad bad for the job, no?
- xemane 1y agoYes. But that's why I said "if it's good for the job it's good for the job" If there's something that Grok *positively* does better than other LLMs, why wouldn't you want to use it, because, _boohoo_ Musk bad.
- AlecSchueler 1y agoBecause you won't know when it's going to peppering in Holocaust denials in the emails it composes for you.
- xemane 1y agoIf you found out that there's a task Grok excels at far better than GPT or Gemini, you're telling me you wouldn't use it?
- Larrikin 1y agoYes
- xemane 1y agoOkay. Your code, your choice.
- AlecSchueler 1y agoYes, in the same way I wouldn't hire an overt fascist. I could never trust it as a tool.
- frollogaston 1y agoEven if I didn't care about who I give business to and I just wanted the best product, it's not this simple. These AIs are incredibly complicated and unpredictable. If you don't trust the business, you can't trust its product to consistently do what you want.
