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.

I made that joke when I was 13 years old...

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago

what makes you think fElon isn't 13 years old too?

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

Macrohard..the kind of joke that 11 year olds made on AOL in 1994

Good luck to Musk then. Was listening to a cybersec podcast on my morning dog walk and one of the stories was about the amount of security flaws that can be created with AI coding machines. Unless you're aware of the language, exploits, weaknesses etc. etc.

What a dumbass. Every time he opens his smarmy gob these days he makes himself seem dumber every time.

It's the drugs, the sycophants, and the power.

He's completely lost touch and has gone full megalomaniac.

"Oh, yes, chief, creating a giant bowl of cheese is so original, you're a genius", a sycophant.

"God. I'm a god", Musk.

"Yes, chief, you're a god", a sycophant.

"I'm so amazing that people think I'm a god", musk.

I think there's a touch of cognitive decline happening, too. Or like a serious brain injury.

Macrohard, another very funny joke from Elon's brilliant mind.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

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

[–] tfm@europe.pub 11 points 6 days ago

This is dumb on a different level

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

At least its good to know that these fucktard billionaires can make tons of terrible business decisions over and over again, but have so much money that every once in a while their business decisions still make them gigantic, irrational, sums of money.

It's like finding out that the captain of the airplane you're on just let a retarded 5-year old steer the plane and the psychotic, suicidal co-pilot just murdered the captain and has now locked the cockpit. Now we're in a race to try and break into the cockpit before the psycho and the retard crash the plane.

That's what the Cybertrucks were for all along

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 5 days 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.

This guy tries so hard to be cool.

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 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] ILikeTraaaains@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

And the circuitry and QA is also done by AI.

[–] arendjr@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago

I can take this one: Because he doesn’t actually care about creating anything of value. If he truly believed in it, you’re right, Twitter or even Tesla’s software engineers would be on the chopping block and he’d replace them with AI as soon as he can. But he doesn’t.

He knows this is a longshot. Most likely to fail, but very profitable on the near-impossible chance that it works. But he doesn’t care even if the odds are truly impossible. Because this is an investment opportunity, so people will throw money his way, no matter what the odds.

People assume he’s an idiot, and he is. But he’s not stupid, at least not in every way. He certainly has a skill for separating others from their money, which he happily takes advantage of.

Microsoft is a very low bar tbh

[–] Corelli_III@midwest.social 4 points 6 days ago

oh man i'm so glad this musk slop ended up on my feed without any real critical comment or insight, just some shitty link and misleading headline

thanks OP

[–] Aimeeloulm@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago

Will they be self playing, crash and burn a lot too, maybe nice angular jutting out corners, made from stainless steel, be called the CyberStation 👍

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Software, as far as I can tell, solves no real problems anymore and can be as baroque, rococo, and absurd as you want because the hardware is massively powerful and cheap.
