I seem to recall Musk saying something about OpenAI being over-valued/under-funded earlier this year. Of course he was summarily booed off the stage by the startup crowd.
- inglor_cz 1y agoMusk managed to attract so much negative attention that he is going to be booed no matter what. I happen to agree with him re OpenAI...
- watwut 1y agoAs he should be booed off the stages in any respectable society. Regardless of whether he is right or wrong about ai.
- etamponi 1y ago> I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. This is _actually_ what a respectable society does.
- brazukadev 1y agobooing is also covered by free speech.
- etamponi 1y agoI might be misunderstanding what booing means then. My understanding is covering another person's voice with shouts in order to sabotage his speech. It might indeed be part of what some society might define free speech, but I'd consider it more of a coward form of violence. If with "booing" you mean "disrespect whatever good idea a person has because it also has very bad ideas", then I wonder who we will end up respecting. Even I have ideas I end up discovering bad. Should I boo myself and ignore everything else I say? If I am missing another definition of booing then I am sorry.
- nickthegreek 1y ago> but I'd consider it more of a coward form of violence. Booing being a form of violence is the hottest take i’ve seen this week.
- techgnosis 1y agoThat is exactly what booing is, but citizens are allowed to boo. I can boo you, you can boo me. If you are booing me then I can walk away, and likewise you can walk away from me. If I'm booing you during a public performance that is indeed rude but then I need to be thrown out by security, which is perfectly allowed and expected. Citizens, i.e each other, are not the problem when it comes to free speech, ever. The only entity which needs to be defended against is the entity that has a monopoly on violence, which is of course the government.
- myvoiceismypass 1y ago> I'd consider it more of a coward form of violence If you think that the act of booing is a form of violence, then what do you think about _actual_ hate speech?
- watwut 1y agoWell Elon Musk is working hard to suppress freedom of others and openly supports authoritarian movements. Using free speech to boo him when he is getting celebrated is defending free speech.
- myvoiceismypass 1y agoWho are you to regulate my booing? Free speech for me, not for thee?
- etamponi 1y agoVery simple: if booing is used to prevent another person from being heard/being able to properly articulate their ideas in public, that's a violation of _their_ freedom of speech. Again, I might have misunderstood what booing means though (which explains the downvotes at least...)
- nikkwong 1y agoHe says a lot of things. Just because some of them end up being true by happenstance doesn't make him a prophet.
- wmf 1y agoElon Musk is suing OpenAI over the for-profit conversion so that clouds his judgement.
