"OpenAI, Inc. has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world: Microsoft. Under its new board, it is not just developing but is actually refining an AGI to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity,"

b) don't believe his motivation is altruistic in the slightestkalkal - hah, it is daft. MS trying to throw us off the scent by investing in their 'competitors'kingsteven
- while Musk's 44bn investment is worth 13bn and their 13bn investment is worth 80bn. AI getting all the attention and he wants to be the zeitgeist.kingsteven
- ^LOL! Still find it bananas he thought Twitter was a good idea.PhanLo
- He probably never did. He's an egomaniac and a genius (of sorts). He has an idea and can back it up with sales + numbers (that he makes up).formed
- He really just wanted more power and to control what people hear. He's realizing people don't care what he thinks and must be humiliated. Woohoo.formed
- It very much seems like he does think people care about what he thinks.kalkal
- He's pissed that he opted out. If his company was tied to OpenAi now instead of Microsoft then of course he'd be all over it.NBQ00

- No one cares about Grok that's for sure.yuekit
- I'm a little worried Musk will try to buy Midjourney.yuekit
- ^ Midjourney and the like are being used to train higher level engines that will go proprietary. I've been saying it for years on here.garbage
- I'm surprised so many people here find it interesting. GANs aren't a new tool, they are your future replacement.garbage
- I imagine everybody here has been helping train Sensei for the past decade. If you thought you hated Adobe before, just wait until the turn the keys on that onegarbage
- What a silly little petulant man child beta whining MAGAtard bitch stable genius.utopian
- I find it interesting in the same way as a sampler. Feed weird things (sample images) into the AI and see what it comes up with.yuekit
- GANs are your replacement? What is this, 2020 again?kalkal
- It's what 2010 said, and nobody listened. Shit like Midjourney are baby engines, and when people are "having fun" with them..garbage
- ..they are training their own future obsolescence. I don't care how skilled you are, virtually everyone here will be useless in a decade at best.garbage
- MJ is a diffusion model not a GAN <_<
Also, I agree, creating models that create great synthetic data that can the be used to further later training is the waykalkal - forwardkalkal
- Diffusion Models are used to fuel GANs and VAEs. It's all part of the cycle.garbage
- So I guess I should have been more specific, but basically MJ and others are feeling a deathloop for creatives.garbage
- *feedinggarbage
- I think you're getting your terminology a bit mixed up, GANs are a specific type of neural network and doesn't inherently have any connection to diffusion.kalkal
- I'm actually not, and they actually do. What we're going to see is diffusion models and variational autoencoders..garbage
- ..being seasoned with GANs. They're all married.garbage
- Hourglass and pixel space diffusion is where it's going, away from gans - There's a strong chance that SD3 will be replacing the VAE with something along thesekalkal

his Is Why Tesla’s Stainless Steel Cybertrucks May Be Rusting
Who knew stainless steel might not be such a good idea for the exterior of an electric SUV? The entire automotive industry, that’s who.
DURING THE CYBERTRUCK'S unveiling in 2019, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed that the electric vehicle's "ultra-hard stainless steel" body might be "literally bulletproof." However, the Tesla truck's exterior panels appear to be defenseless against water pistols. They apparently rust, as some owners claim.
https://www.wired.com/story/this…
Posting on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, a user named Raxar risked the wrath of the Tesla faithful—already exercised by the Cybertruck's numerous alleged design flaws—by stating that when they collected the $61,000 truck, "the advisor specifically mentioned the Cybertrucks develop orange rust marks in the rain."
In a separate thread, the user vertigo3pc reported that "corrosion was forming on the metal" of his Cybertruck after it spent 11 days in the rain in Los Angeles.
Raxar, who also lives in California, posted what appeared to be close-up, rust-flecked images of his truck after driving it for two days in rain.

The Story Behind Elon Musk’s Tweet Restriction Fiasco
Last summer, Elon Musk began rate-limiting the number of tweets users could see on Twitter. Here's the real reason why.While the finer points of running a social media business can be debated, one basic truth is that they all run on attention. Tech leaders are incentivized to grow their user bases so there are more people looking at more ads for more time. It’s just good business.
As the owner of Twitter, Elon Musk presumably shared that goal. But he claimed he hadn’t bought Twitter to make money. This freed him up to focus on other passions: stopping rival tech companies from scraping Twit­ter’s data without permission—even if it meant losing eyeballs on ads.
Data-scraping was a known problem at Twitter. “Scraping was the open secret of Twitter data access. We knew about it. It was fine,” Yoel Roth wrote on the Twitter ­alternative Bluesky. AI firms in particular were no­torious for gobbling up huge swaths of text to train large language models. Now that those firms were worth a lot of money, the situation was far from fine, in Musk’s opinion.

Elon Musk is backing Mandalorian actor’s suit against Disney
Three years after Disney cut ties with The Mandalorian’s Gina Carano, the actor is now filing a lawsuit against the company — with a little help from Elon Musk.
As The Hollywood Reporter reports, Carano is suing Disney for discrimination and wrongful termination after she was fired following inflammatory and antisemitic posts on X (then Twitter) and Instagram. At the time of Carano’s firing, Disney said in a statement that “her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
As for the timing, Carano is filing the lawsuit now because Musk posted in August of last year that “if you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill.”
