Musk has not been running his mouth since getting sued

-7 ( +1 / -8 )

I'm convinced, this lumpawood is micro-dosing since 6 years back. His change in attitude and personality can't be explained otherwise.

Did Musk just shoot himself in the foot or what?

Metaverse 2.0 with bigger numbers on the invoices. They are falling over themselves to sink tens of billions of dollars into tech that few people actually want or trust, and considerably fewer will pay to use. And on hardware that has built in obsolescence of a couple of years.

They took an unreliable, experimental tech, branded it 'AI' and sold it as a solution to everything. Which of course it isn't. The added layers of complexity merely reduce resilience, and the increased tech requirements add unnecessary costs and energy demands. The business case is illusory. We don't actually need it. It is amusing that it is easier to get national wealth funds to blow billions on tech fads like this than get them to invest smaller amounts in stuff that has a solid business plan or which we actually need.

Their intention is to get people hooked on it and then charge them a fortune for it, but we aren't getting hooked on it and we may not feel the need to pay for it (cf. low uptake of Win 11). Companies are already moving away from the cloud as prices get hiked and looking at smaller, cheaper solutions. The year-on-year cost of tech is erasing the value and benefit of having it. Public services and private corporations do not exist to prop up GAFA by paying ever larger amounts for increasingly complex and consequently unreliable tech, when we haven't really needed any new tech in over a decade. Everything your average office worker does on their computer could have been done on kit more than ten years old, if GAFA didn't break systems with upgrades and backward incompatibilities. The tech industry is now operating like a drug cartel.

Megalomaniac narcissist Musk must always be the center of attention.

He's certainly been letting his arm do the talking for him recently.

musk is such a genius. he says u.s. should get rid of the penny.

other countries like canada and australia and others did that over a decade ago.

it shows how far behind the u.s. is in common sense.

how many pints are there in a gallon again?

The handbag throwing between these douchebags has started earlier than expected. Better stock up on some popcorn!

4 ( +4 / -0 )

The gap between software and hardware Ai is shrinking dramatically and in such a short time.

Some useful, some not so useful, not so different to every other technology driven boom.

Musk acquires and bullies, he is not a creator but is happy to take the credit for others that do.

This is why he is spitting the dummy right now, he is not in control and he doesn't like it.

Need lots and lots of power
