I’m a big fan of Musk. One of the few criticisms I have is how xAI is also inconsistent with original OpenAI mission. I had imagined xAI as en effort to correct and fully embody all original values of OpenAI and that Elon says they betrayed. That makes his criticism weaker and I understand why some can think it was all about control. In his words:
"I'm the reason OpenAl exists. I came up with the name. The name OpenAl refers to open source... The intent was - what was the opposite of Google? It would be an open source non-profit."
I sometimes feel xAI wants to live up to those open values so I always celebrate when they decide to engage in open source. They still don’t fully embrace it. Perhaps because they think is not practical or will make them less competitive?

- HDBaseT 3mo agoNot a fan of Musk either, but him being "Racist" or throwing a Nazi Salute are quite frankly the least of my concerns with him.
- senderista 3mo agoagreed, the de facto genocide bit is slightly more concerning to me
- inlined 3mo agoTo be fair Nick Fuentes praised him on his perfect Nazi salute

- user- 3mo agoYou say this from a throwaway account that you know will get banned. Dang, maybe think about IP banning this guy for such a premedidated move.

- throwitaway222 3mo agoI wouldn't trust any numbers that came out of USAID. Mr Beast drilled hundreds of wells, built hundreds of houses for mere few million in Africa. If USAID really did sent 130 Billion in the last 20 years then there literally would be unlimited houses and unlimited wells already completed. Yet to my knowledge only a few solar wells, no houses have been built by USAID.
- miguelazo 3mo agoMr. Beast? LMAO. A ridiculous comparison in terms of development project implementation. (And I am no fan of USAID, whose real chief mission was creating dependency on the US and overthrowing independent governments.)

- miguelazo 3mo agoNo, I don’t trust USAID, and it’s telling that that was your takeaway from my comment. I was pointing out the obvious differences between an institutional development project approach and that of a parachute-in “charity” looking to create as many trophy projects as possible. The latter do not care about creating local capacity to maintain the infrastructure, among other things.
- throwitaway222 2mo agoUnder democrat rule, the government's idea of "creating local capacity to maintain infrastructure" is to keep throwing money at problems that keep complaining. When instead 99% of the money is boarding planes and flying to Somalia (this is now 100% proven about the MN/Walz scandal by the way). We actually need a competitive system to make change work. A way for someone to say - hey this isn't working, and the money shuts off immediately. Just throwing money is killing the United States, so yes, I'd much rather have most charity come from private collections at this point - unless the US changes how it does things.

- justinhj 3mo agoit's worse really. at least there are subreddits relatively free of trump bad elon bad non stop nonsense
- shigawire 3mo agoTrump seems objectively bad at his job by a number of metrics. So it seems reasonable that would be the consensus in most forums.
- xp84 3mo agoTrump is objectively terrible, corrupt, and feeble-minded, but the lack of self-awareness on the other side is darker. For your platform to be so bad, so out of touch, that you lose to that? And the DNC takeaway was "No, we were perfect - it's the voters who are wrong."[1] I'd rather have one terrible president than support a party that doesn't even believe democracy should exist when it disagrees with them.

- justinhj 2mo agoyou live in a bubble i am afraid
- qup 3mo agoBecause I don't believe what you just said about him. Literally not even one detail.
- BatFastard 3mo agoNo need to believe, just look at the facts.
- stronglikedan 3mo agoOk done. Still don't believe it cuz the facts don't support it. It's interesting to see how far people attempt to stretch the facts tho.
- inlined 3mo agoIn good faith, what is your burden of proof that would change your mind?
- blactuary 3mo ago[flagged]
- timr 3mo agoI know that this is a tall order, but consider that this might not actually be “objective”, and that instead, you’re substituting your opinion for facts. (You don’t need to enumerate all of the things you believe justify the statement. I’m well familiar with them. I’m just trying to make you understand that there’s a layer of subjectivity here.)
