Right, stealing training data from others is OK, having it stolen from you is not. What else is new?

- keyle 1y agoNew logo every couple of years and Bob's your uncle.
- threeseed 1y agoAlmost certainly the easter egg found in the Trump "Big Beautiful Bill" which prevents states from enacting AI regulations also came from Musk. That way he can continue to steal from others and lock competitors out whilst being comfortable knowing that no laws will be enacted to prevent it.
- mgoetzke 1y agowhy do you think he is so evil but all others are benign ?
- littlestymaar 1y agoNone of them are benign. He's the only one to have been in a government office though, and he's also batshit crazy, which makes him even more dangerous than the other oligarchs.
- HenryBemis 1y agoHe is not "batshit crazy", or maybe he is. But he is making the next generation of ICBMs for the US government, sorry.. he is making super-duper rockets that will definitely take people to Mars and his companies/creations will be the very first tech ever to _not_ be used for war and death!!! (he wrote while laughing). So that settles it (all).
- labster 1y agoYep, Musk saying he’s going to fund primary campaigns against congressmembers who vote for the Big Beautiful Bill is all just a brilliant bit of reverse psychology. Or more likely, Congress is super worried about Roko’s Basilisk.
- api 1y agoBasilisk / Skynet 2028 I’m not 100% kidding with how human politics is going. Maybe superintelligent AI takeover would be awesome. (Wasn’t that the back story of the Culture novels?)
- JKCalhoun 1y agoIt was more or less the story from the "Colossus" trilogy. And from the video posted the other (older episode of Nova on AI) Arthur C. Clarke is saying that if we allow A.I. to take over, we deserve it.
- tetris11 1y agoThat's a wild reference! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roko's_basilisk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roko's_basilisk > Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states there could be an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future that would punish anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to incentivize said advancement.
- BoxOfRain 1y agoIt's Pascal's Wager with a sci-fi reskin, and all the objections that go along with that.
- eru 1y agoRoko's Basilisk is very, very similar to Pascal's wager, but it has an extra wrinkle: The Basilisk task you to with bringing the Basilisk into being. Pascal's wager merely asks you to believe (and perhaps do some rituals, like pray or whatever), but not to make the deity more likely.
- api 1y agoWe really need a one bill one topic amendment. We are going to get to where there is one bill a year that nobody reads and everything else by executive order, at which point congress is just for show.
- threeseed 1y agoAnd this may sound ridiculous/odd but you need to bring back pork-barrelling i.e. earmarks. If you allow everyone to go back to their district with something it encourages smaller, more frequent bills and better negotiation.
- api 1y agoThat’s a very interesting contrarian take right there.
- NekkoDroid 1y ago> Almost certainly the easter egg found in the Trump "Big Beautiful Bill" which prevents states from enacting AI regulations also came from Musk. My guess is on Peter Thiel
- ivape 1y agoX/Twitter has became extremely prohibitive with just about everything since Elon took over. Their API pricing was antagonistic toward even indie developers. Elon is not a generous guy.
- newsbinator 1y ago> Elon is not a generous guy Why would he be?
- ivape 1y agoIt's kind of a "life arc" that gets fulfilled when you've done it all and have all the money in the world, and reach a certain age. It's a very traditional arc for a humane human being.
- qeternity 1y ago[flagged]
- ivape 1y agoThat API was already reasonable before he took over Twitter. It was prohibitively priced afterward. You are making arguments out of things where there is objective proof otherwise. Anyways, I think he cut aid programs and fired a bunch of people too. That's a whole nother' matter though (I'll drop the whole holistic argument). For example the firehose/streaming API more or less require 5 grand a month, so off limits to a indie dev. Does he not even have solidarity with developers?
- only-one1701 1y agoHe’s not a developer and never really has been so why would he?
- tehwebguy 1y agolmao what?
