Looks like the Elongated Muskrat is at it again. Can’t wait to see his promise go into 2030 and beyond.

Fuck off, Elon. Nobody likes you.

yet we keep giving him the attention he craves.

[-] comfy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

On one hand, yes. Someone posted it here and some more people voted the post up.

On the other, the bourgeoisie own lots and lots of megaphones. Most of the US media cycle is within the circus tent. It's not us giving attention, it's the mega-millionaire and billionaire -owned mass media organizations and social media platforms giving the attention.

Didn't read the article, didn't upvote the post, and don't imagine people cursing him in the comments bothered to that, too. So we kept engagement to a minimum and to just hurl some profanities at him, the skies, or whoever reads. It helps to calm the nerves after another spotting in the news. I long for the moment when he reaches his Howard-Hughes-locked-in-a-hotel-room phase.

he's a white supremacist so i imagine that it'll be a bunker in new zealand or hawaii

He should make it interesting. Pledge, say, 300 billion to a number of humanitarian charities if he doesn't succeed in making a highly reviewed AI game in 2026. Put it in an escrow account in the meantime.

[-] VoxAliorum@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

thing is he will let people program it and claim he did it alone with AI while playing path of exile 2.

[-] bigchungus@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Paying someone else to play Path of Exile 2*

[-] VoxAliorum@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

nono he plays it all by himself, I am sure ;)

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 4 points 2 months ago

He did at least once; he streamed it and had no idea how to play the game, spent hours in silence being heckled by chat.

[-] KarmaPolice@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Last time he made a bet, he just cut contact with the person when he lost. Bets are meaningless to him

[-] Screen_Shatter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I think he still owes us money for solving world hunger first

[-] GasMaskedLunatic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Well, you know what they say; Shoot for the Moon and you'll suffocate in space while everyone on Earth is left to deal with the repercussions of your horribly inefficient pollution-producing 'great' AI 'game.'

[-] devolution@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I just wish he'd focus on his promise of going Mars so he could launch his ass there and never bother us again.

[-] 46_and_2@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I can imagine him livestreaming it already, singing songs of praise about it, while playing completely alone (or to a small audience of sicophants).

Anyway idgaf what ElRon is doing with his time, as long as it doesn't affect me and other people.

[-] onlooker@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Nothing wrong with promising. It's the delivering part he has problems with. Heck, he couldn't even deliver his own kids.

[-] DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

It'd be great if we had AI in NPCs for dynamic dialogues instead of bunch of of conditions.

I thought this what Activision was already doing with its yearly Call of Duty releases.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They just re-released infinity war.no need for AI to copy and paste.
