The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents. 'It should be possible to simulate [Microsoft] entirely with AI,' Musk says.

Dude claims he can code. I want to see him personally make Doom run on a Tesla.

I think he is just upset that South Park didn't have a parody of him with a small dick, yet

This is dumb on a different level

It should be possible to simulate Musk entirely with AI.

Give me some exlax and some audio recording gear and I can get you an Elon sound board in about an hour.

I still have no idea what they’re trying to simulate.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Microsoft. The whole company.

First thought: Well, usually i'd laugh, but it's microsoft, so this might actulally work

second thought: wait, Twitter also doesn't produce any hardware... why not start there?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait until Musk comes forward with the Macrohard GamerX series of consoles, to play AI slop games.

Jesus.... it's like watching these people cause a train wreck in slow motion, and we're on the train.

This guy tries so hard to be cool.

How is the quoted statement made without realizing Twitter is much more simple than everything Microsoft produces?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

he's the money guy, not the actually do things guy.

I mean, my personal pipe dream is that in 10-15 years, we get something like her, but the idea of any of our current tech billionaires doing that is just laughable. Her was way too much of a finished product and actually helped the users.

To be fair it's not like support could get worse...

Salty, sounds like porno

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Musk is like a science experiment to see how cripplingly stupid you can make a nepo baby without them losing all their generational wealth, except it went in a fascinating new direction instead.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Heeeeey that was MY idea. Not the AI agent part, the name part.

Red Alert 2 also had one it's called MassiveSoft & I think the CEO/Chairman was called Bing😂

Mecha Hitler backer of AfD, and "Pardon Derek Chauvin to instigate riots so that we can finally genocide the blacks in America" is hurting auto sales for Tesla.

Stock price is still very high, because self driving could work (it's late, behind competition, and underwhelming), humanoid robots could work. He's also been doing BS transactions between companies he controls to inflate both stock (private market) values, and that BS could expand to Tesla.

There are several problems with this announcement:

  1. it is a distraction because every other objective is failing. There needs to be a new moonshot announced so that you don't dump Tesla shares, because you should trust him this time that the new moonshot will be achieved.

  2. Copying Office 365, or improving it, will have new/different bugs for a long time. Unclear why anyone would buy it if the main reason it's still used is legacy dependencies that worked around any current bugs.

  3. MSFT spying will be (naively) trusted more than MechaHitler spying. Corporate AI in service to US military supremacy and Skynet control over the world is bad for Americans too. Future AI acceptance will not be US mega tech led acceptance. A marketing fight over which company hates Americans the most will harm both brands.

  4. OpenOffice is pretty good for free. An open source local toolchain can add trusted AI integration.
