      I think the real issue is it’s harder than some people thought ( Musk ) to make a model that’s very right leaning.

      These AI programs are built on data that has established facts and ideas. You can’t just will the models to start spewing out crap that’s not rooted in reality. They eventually start to lose coherence. You can tell your AI to start pumping out pro-trump agendas, but when it’s searching the internet for data it’s going to find nothing but conflicting ideas. This gets more difficult to control as the models get more intelligent.

      I’m all for him just setting dump-trucks of cash on fire, better that than politics.

      > Musk said the company held an all-hands meeting on Wednesday that focused on how to catch up, which he predicted would be possible by the middle of this year.

      Ah yes, right around the time Tesla FSD and Robotaxi will also be ready, and just after DOGE will save billions in waste. Musk really is a mastermind when it comes to predicting how quickly and easily incredibly complex things can be accomplished.

      Wasnt xAI valued at $250b during merger with SpaceX? SpaceX investors must be amused by this shit.

      The problem is that he think xAI is a place where people are going to get work done. Nobody who does serious work is going to ask Grok for help. It’s fundamentally a gimmick and it’s already as good as it will ever need to be. By all means I hope he pours more resources into it.

      This time he’ll make sure it only uses data from Ayn Rand, Hitler, and Fox News.

      No planning, no vision, just Musking it. They will ruin it again. Like Tesla.

      Reposting a good comment I found on Hackernews:

      “I think the problem for xAI is that it can really only hire two types of researchers – people who are philosophically aligned with Elon, and people who are solely money-motivated (not a judgment). But frontier AI research is a field with a lot of top talent who have strong philosophical motivation for their work, and those philosophies are often completely at odds with Elon. OpenAI and Anthropic have philosophical niches that are much better at attracting the current cream of the crop, and I don’t really see how xAI can compete with that.”

      Guys stop shitting on Musk, I can only upvote so many comments at a time

      Every time I hear Musk talk about software engineering, I hear myself when I was a junior. The constant urge to „delete everything and start from scratch“ is so strong, it’s often hard to understand, unless you have some actual software engineering experience, that whatever perfect system you’ve devised in your head will end up probably as hard to manipulate and upgrade as the current system. The true expertise here is how to A. build things that can be easily upgrade/changed without massive overhalls, and B. Once you have a complex system you’re not happy with, how do you change and upgrade it piecemeal without actually just doing a full overhall.

      But it makes sense specifically since it seems like the logic of product and business (if this costs too much shareholders will be pissed/don’t spend too much time on work that won’t lead to more money) don’t really hold for most of Musk’s businesses, so he can live in the junior engineer fantasy world of „let’s wipe it and rewrite it!“
