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

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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
OpenOffice is pretty good for free. An open source local toolchain can add trusted AI integration.
Musk is a real fucking prick, isn't he?
how would you simulate microsoft with ai?
I guess you make something that writes batch files. Then maybe move up to a flight simulator. Eventually move onto an operating system, that every time you release an upgrade, people will complain about it and tell you it's worse than it was before (half the time it's ignorant users, half the time it's developers being made to throw shitty things into it. Insert a shit search engine that's mandatory and has a bad track record with security issues. (Grok should do fine). I don't really know if I can find words for MSN... Create a perfectly adequate word processor, overly complicate it for years so it isn't even compatible with its self and wonder why you cant save text with spaces and open it on another machine. Take everyone's emails and store a copy on their machine, while leaving it on the web, and try to convince everyone to get a subscription to type characters in a word processor when the one they bought in 1995 should still work for all the purposes they need it for and send emails which they could have done for free via the web. Add rules and add-ons that will work sometimes and break othertimes because maybe it took to long to launch. Tell everyone to store their emails in pst files. Tell everyone to get away from pst files. Tell everyone to go back to pst files. No longer support pst files because they don't work with cloud storage as they are inherently locally stored data files. Excel.. yeah, why is there macros, if you need macros you should probably be using Access but most people don't know how to use it so all the databases are started in Excel and no one wants to change so you just ask cortona, copilot, nope just go to OpenAI and hallucinate solutions.
Then say forget it all and go back to a pen and paper.
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.
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😂
chairman bingman, that was helping the allies, after the mind control incidents.
Yup
Yup, was in the Yuri's Revenge expansion.
Can't wait for the year of the vibe coded OS.
Salty, sounds like porno
I still have no idea what they’re trying to simulate.
Microsoft. The whole company.
Whoa, they can clone companies with AI? I’m going to ask ChatGPT to make me an Amazon.
Just a simulation, with simulated board members and simulated hostile takeovers of competitor browsers.
Is he planing on creating a an OS as well or just copy the office suite?
Yes. And also one drive, and Microsoft xbox, and git hub, and visual studio.
Totally realistic.
tbf, Microsoft's shit is so fucked up, glitchy, and difficult to use that this might actually be possible
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.
