  I guess grok isn’t doing so well.

  Would be funny to watch this go through and see how quickly he changes his mind on Open AI’s business model.

    He’d be allowed to back out on this one unlike Twitter. He’d use his power with trump to prevent the SEC from forcing the sale to go through like the SEC did with Twitter.

      I’m referring to his complaints about open ai moving towards a for profit business model. Musk wants to stop this.

  That’s a really low offer; the company easily at the very least has three times that valuation.

    What is this? An OpenAI for ants?

  OpenAI’s Yahoo! moment. In a decade it’ll be worthless.

    It already is. They’ll bleed users until they are irrelevant at this point.

  Couldn’t even pay for twitter himself, that broke ass

  Hahah he really hates Altman’s guts. Good. Love to see those two expend their energy on each other rather than on fucking all of us.

    Unfortunately, they can multitask

      There is still a finite amount of time per day. Any amount of time spent on this is less they have available for everything else.

      Still slows down some of their other goals. Attention and resources aren’t infinite. The more they wear themselves thin on things that don’t matter, the better

      Musk isnt very good at that. He seems to Godzilla’s his way through one company at a time, while interns clean up behind him.

      You guys both posted it within a few seconds of each other judging by my app updating the time. Impressive.

  But remember, all of his wealth is only potential, not realized! He ackshually can’t afford to make the world a better place!

    The best and most affordable way for Elon Musk to “make the world a better place” would be to drop dead.

    I mean an island with no internet connection isn’t that expensive to him

  not even one-third of the valuation openai thinks they’re worth (up to 340b). and still below what investors thought in 2022 (157b). src

    Open-source just turned its value to dog shit, I’d say the offer is far above is value.

  • parody@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    How stupid is this conspiracy theory:

    If it were a threat, like “this is what you’re gonna be worth if you don’t accept, anyway” depending on how power drunk he was feeling when hitting Tweet

    Lol is that even a thing? xAI? I’ve never heard of it, and I self host AI’s, and explore them often.

      It’s real. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAI_(company)

  • maplebar@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit

    Well, to be 100% fair, it’s all total bullshit.

      I use a 16b reduction of deepseek-r1 on my pc at home and it’s definitely not total bullshit. It’s 10gb of local model that can solve mathematics and physics problems for you or program in python or bash. It doesn’t hallucinate (or I haven’t been able to elicit it), it’s aware of the extents of its knowledge. It works incredibly fast on an old ryzen 1600 with 6600xt. Having an open source reasoning AI that takes 10gb of SSD and about 13 gb of ram is so weird that the only thing weirder is seeing smart people dismiss it as bullshit out of hand.

    Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I’d take it. Unless they’ve got more secrets up their sleeve I don’t seem them ever being worth that much.

    I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted
