This’ll end up just like the Microsoft/Netscape Navigator antitrust suit where Microsoft got broken up and sued out of existence for trying to suffocate Netscape Navigator by denying it access to the Windows Operating System. Netscape, originally the underdog, super-won and turned into Mozilla which is now a multi-trillion dollar company that provides a shining beacon of consumer rights done right.

Oh wait, I just remembered: Netscape died and barely anything changed—only the public ever really loses. Billionaires paying thousands of dollars in fines to fight for their turn to shit on their customers.

Blue_Morpho ,

I know it’s a common meme but it still annoys me. Netscape’s own JWZ wrote about how Netscape destroyed itself. I have personal experience with Netscape being full of itself, buggy, and forcing myself and all other small isp owners (which were over 50% of the market at the time) to ship Internet Explorer CDs to customers despite our really wanting to ship Netscape.

thefartographer ,

Yes, Netscape really shot themselves in the foot with their premium browser and then shit in the wound with Communicator. All that Microsoft contributed was forcing people not to work with the septic poo-footed browser, but getting caught up in that kind of detail would have made people stop reading my comment. Gotta farm every sweet little upvote I can get so that my family will finally be proud of me when they print my karma in my obituary.

He has a vendetta against OpenAI as he tried to take it over and they wanted no part of that if I recall correctly

skyspydude1 ,

He was technically a founding member, but left the company. Literally all of this is because he’s jealous he can’t pull a Tesla and claim all the credit for another tech company.

Lucidlethargy ,

Wait… that’s hilarious. He was part of openai? What kind of fucking idiot leaves that so early? I mean, maybe leaving this year for moral reasons… Sure. But he did this previously? What a fucking moron.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

There was some internal dispute and he also claimed it was a conflict of interest with Tesla developing AI stuff. But I can’t imagine how any conflict that may have existed with OpenAI doesn’t exist with xAI

He already removed Disney+ from the screens on Tesla’s because they pulled advertising from Twitter.

Wait what? Did he really? I’ve driving my model 3 for 2 years and never noticed Disney± was missing. Now that I think about it, I didn’t notice it was there to begin with.

skyspydude1 ,

This bumper sticker is almost meaningless unless you only bought an early Model S. It was pretty apparent even by the time the Model 3 came out Elon was a gigantic piece of shit, and would be running the company into the ground. Reminder that him calling a rescue diver a pedophile was 6 years ago, and that was only the most public first example of his douchebaggery.

Iheartcheese ,
@Iheartcheese@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I honestly have to admit I kinda liked him till that point. I didn’t know a lot about him. That was when he seemed like this lulzy shitposter who was gonna get us self driving cars and get something to mars.

in a small mousy voice out of the side of the mouth you can always sell it you know

I heard that mousy voice but sadly I can’t afford to sell it and as much as I hate to say it, it’s a great car.

I mean .... ok ... but you're flying the fascists flag everytime you take that thing out on the road, doesn't matter who you thought Musk was when you bought it, or your good intentions, sorry, womp womp

@halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world avatar

Sort of. It’s there if you already had it. Otherwise it’s gone on new vehicles.

My model 3 still has it listed.

undyingarchie ,

Ah ok thanks. I’ll check it out tomorrow and let you know if I too have it or not.

undyingarchie ,

Yes just checked. My 2022 model 3 still has Disney+. And Netflix, YouTube, Twitch.

YurkshireLad ,

You should temporarily put a Disney+ sticker on your touchscreen and tell Musk that you hacked your Tesla and still have access to the streaming service.

slayback ,

It’s not on the screen, but if you go to Disney+ in the web browser the app will reappear.

@bryan@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Also if you’ve already signed into the app it stays.

He better not touch Apple Music!!

Lucidlethargy ,

Lol, so his entire demand was completely toothless? I’m shocked, everyone… Shocked!

Lucidlethargy ,

Who the fuck was watching Disney on their fucking car screen? Seriously… What?!

Sometimes you just have to wait and its handy. We’ve used it for multi hour ferry waits and or the rides if we don’t want to leave the vehicle.

Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.

In case anybody is wondering why he’s making a big deal out of it.

As to why emoji feels the need to make his own “anti-woke” AI, it’s because he thinks that, at some point in the future, our AI overlords will decide to cull white people to meet “forced diversity quotas.” I’m not kidding.

I love how he can’t even bigot right.

buddascrayon ,

It’s cause he’s not the one who’s actually making these things. He’s just the guy who provides money to make these things.

P.S. if someone could invent a predictive text algo that can distinguish between cause and cuz, that would actually be an amazing innovation. /rant

assassin_aragorn ,

It must drive him nuts that he’s actually incapable of doing all this. He can’t actually create anything. Certainly not shareholder value lmao

Who cares about X. Mastodon and other Fediverse services are better.

It seems a little illogical to hate Elon for hating AI when you also hate it.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

That’s not why I hate him. Also, he has his own AI, so clearly he doesn’t hate it in general, just Apple’s.

I enjoy predictive text/auto-suggest during chat, Google’s old voice-recognition for setting alarms/timers/conversions. OCR is also nice.

buddascrayon ,

I personally just hate to dumbasses who can’t understand that it’s not HAL9000, it’s just your smartphone’s predictive text with extra computing power and a better pool of previous entries to draw upon.

Petter1 ,

…that you can talk to and ask in normal voice about any of your data and get a reasonable answer that even get what you want with that data and asks to do these actions directly. Even if it is just predictive text, it is still useful and mindblowing 🤷🏻‍♀️

aodhsishaj ,

Well reasonable answers are going to be fewer and farther between as it trains on it’s own poisoned data.

I have a theory that this guy tried his own implant tech which terribly failed and left permanent brain damage. it’s one way to explain the sudden and progressing unhingedness

Gsus4 ,
@Gsus4@programming.dev avatar

When do you think that might have happened? Because he’s been a documented dick for a long, long, longer time than most media give him credit for.

Voroxpete ,

Yeah, this notion that Musk suddenly went off the rails is pure face saving fantasy.

Like, no, Musk didn’t suddenly become an idiot. He’s always been an idiot. We just bought his hype, and the healthy thing to do is admit it and learn a lesson.

Gsus4 , (edited )
@Gsus4@programming.dev avatar

pure face saving fantasy

Yea, it’s much easier to fool people than for them to admit that they were fooled :/

TheLowestStone ,
@TheLowestStone@lemmy.world avatar

Yup. I remember realizing that he was a piece of shit back in 2018 when he was calling that rescue diver a pedophile.

AA5B ,

We just bought his hype

That hype was useful when for cussed on a technology he is helping develop. We should never have listened outside that

Voroxpete ,

helping to develop

This, my friend, is the hype. Musk has never helped to develop anything. He’s not an engineer or a scientist. He’s a rich asshole who buys his way into tech projects, all of which were either doing fine without him (Tesla, PayPal) , fail utterly (Hyperloop), or suck up resources that could almost certainly be applied more effectively by the government itself if they weren’t being funneled into a for-profit operation (SpaceX).

bamfic ,

he was a dick as far back as when he bought tesla, maybe 15 years ago by now. know someone who worked there back then. said it was a nightmare dealing with musk’s ego, even many layers down in the pyramid

ameancow ,

Alternatively, and more realistically: drugs.

Petter1 ,

More precisely: coke

Doof ,

It seems more likely you progressed to see who he actually is rather than him losing “it”

Etterra ,

Do it coward. Keep kicking that bitch down the relevance hill. I want to see that bird’s mutilated carcass at your feet so you can look stupid(er) and blame somebody else some more.
