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.

    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.

    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?

      I agree. Why can’t we have a dystopia where we have neon gangs with wicked aesthetics that are armed with fully automatic firearms purchased from a vending machine outside a liquor store.

    “In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI,” he added.

    Ummm, is someone going to tell him about the Xbox, Surface devices, and the entire Azure infrastructure they built.

      Musk just announces this shit to look like he’s doing something so the investors don’t flee. If anything is actually delivered it will be forgettable and he will have moved on to the next thing he can hype.

      It’s that or he’s trying to get Microsoft to give Grok a more prominent role on their platform and this is how he thinks he can active that.

      How the stack of cards hasn’t fallen down yet is head scratching and I’d love to know what business is actually using Grok for something serious.

      I don’t think that’s possible. Ketamine is a great and safe drug with many medicinal purposes

        Accidental death is very much possible though, and has happened before. Drowning seems to be a particular risk here

        It’s absolutely possible if you’re abusing it recreationally, especially if you start mixing it with who knows what else. The biggest risk is respiratory system just shutting off.

        That’s just an OD though, long term abuse like it’s suspected by many that Musk is doing has a whole host of nasty symptoms that you can look up yourself.

    And here I thought the Windows 11 enshitification couldn’t get worse.

    Nobody should ever trust anything Musk wants them to install on their devices.

    I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon

          That’s discriminatory! Actually it’s because they have dark skin. As a native South african, Musk knows this. Fortunately, he was able to immigrate in 1988 before things went bad. You silly

        Billionaires are just people with uncontrolled hoarding disorder, but instead of hoarding cats, or junk cars, or magazines, they hoard money. If they hoarded anything else, the authorities would step in and clean up the place and get them medication, but because it’s money, they get celebrated as successful businesspeople, and get loads of more government cash shoveled at them.

      To be fair there is one personal trait that’s really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.

        Yeah, although if Elon hasn’t convinced them I can at least take solace in knowing there was probably no way to convince them anyways. Total lost causes
