tbh I wouldn't give Elon a dime even if Grok was miles better than competition.

- knicholes 8mo agoWhy?
- reactordev 8mo agoMoral grandstanding on the account of his political views and the fact that he does Nazi salutes on stage, on TV, for the world to see… might have something to do with it.
- skywhopper 8mo agoBecause Elon is a criminal scam artist and a horrifying racist who seems to be completely detached from reality.

- SunshineTheCat 8mo agoI really wish the days of kindergarten where we were taught if you didn't have anything nice to say about someone, don't say it at all.

- epolanski 8mo agoHe's very hard to like, and he's hard to trust with anything.
- maxwell 8mo agoWould you give one to Sam, Mark, or Sundar?
- lobf 8mo agoNone of these guys literally has the blood of millions of people on their hands. Elon’s gutting of USAID (and you can argue they would have done it anyways but he chose to be the executioner) will kill millions of people every year who otherwise would not have died. Not only will I never give him a dime, I want him prosecuted and deported. Edit: For those downvoting, we're already at an estimated 600k deaths: https://www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?view=table&sort=interval_minutes&order=asc https://www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?view=table&sort=inte...
- pupppet 8mo agoWhat does our system say about itself when people of integrity so rarely rise to the top?
- EricDeb 8mo agoI dont know too much but Jensen Huang seems like a good guy
- dang 8mo agoOk, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here.
- epolanski 8mo agoIs it? Elon's persona caused massive drops in usage of twitter, sales of Tesla, etc. Unsurprisingly many would not touch grok for the same distrust.
- dang 8mo agoTastes differ, of course, but a comment consisting of nothing more than "I wouldn't give $so-and-so a dime even if $such-and-such was $this-or-that" definitely counts as unsubstantive by the usual standard here.
- davidw 8mo agoThis is not a fully formed thought, so take it with a grain of salt: Keeping politics off of here is a good idea. Some things aren't really politics, but morals. Like, a discussion of different tax schemes or how much environmental regulations accomplish what they set out to do or something is 'politics'. Lamenting that there is "no homeland for white people" is... something else. It's probably still not likely to have good outcomes as a subject of discussion here, but it's also something the tech industry needs to wrestle with somewhere, somehow. My experience of the tech world was that it went from being a collection of oddballs, geeks, nerds and maybe kind of naive politically to mainstreaming some really evil shit. I think this will come back to bite the industry, and depending on how angry the people with pitchforks and torches are, could end up hurting more than just the bad actors.
