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.

I’m so tired of this idiot ass fucking dystopia.

[-] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

To be fair it's not like support could get worse...

“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.

And the Zune. Don't forget the Zune!

[-] hactar42@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 hours ago

I loved my Zune

I think he is just upset that South Park didn't have a parody of him with a small dick, yet

For the love of god, just OD on ketamine already.

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 4 points 4 hours ago

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

[-] BJ_and_the_bear@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

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

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 7 points 3 hours ago

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.

Why do bad Tesla fires only trap good people?

Can't wait for the year of the vibe coded OS.

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 hours ago

If it weren’t for the power usage, I’d say let’s see how this plays out. Would be funny to watch it implode and maybe VCs would finally realize AI sucks.

Mecha Hitler backer of AfD, and "Pardon Derek Chauvin to instigate riots so that we can finally genocide the blacks in America" is hurting auto sales for Tesla.

Stock price is still very high, because self driving could work (it's late, behind competition, and underwhelming), humanoid robots could work. He's also been doing BS transactions between companies he controls to inflate both stock (private market) values, and that BS could expand to Tesla.

There are several problems with this announcement:

  1. it is a distraction because every other objective is failing. There needs to be a new moonshot announced so that you don't dump Tesla shares, because you should trust him this time that the new moonshot will be achieved.

  2. Copying Office 365, or improving it, will have new/different bugs for a long time. Unclear why anyone would buy it if the main reason it's still used is legacy dependencies that worked around any current bugs.

  3. MSFT spying will be (naively) trusted more than MechaHitler spying. Corporate AI in service to US military supremacy and Skynet control over the world is bad for Americans too. Future AI acceptance will not be US mega tech led acceptance. A marketing fight over which company hates Americans the most will harm both brands.

  4. OpenOffice is pretty good for free. An open source local toolchain can add trusted AI integration.

tbf, Microsoft's shit is so fucked up, glitchy, and difficult to use that this might actually be possible

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 6 points 9 hours ago

How is the quoted statement made without realizing Twitter is much more simple than everything Microsoft produces?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

he's the money guy, not the actually do things guy.

[-] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 45 points 14 hours ago

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

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 8 points 5 hours ago

https://www.monbiot.com/2011/11/07/the-self-attribution-fallacy/

If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire. The claims that the ultra-rich 1% make for themselves – that they are possessed of unique intelligence or creativity or drive – are examples of the self-attribution fallacy.

[-] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 hours ago

Ahhh no no that's because they're in Africa and not America 😌

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 10 points 7 hours ago

Yup. It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 7 hours ago

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.

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago

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.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

Zero empathy.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 14 points 13 hours ago

Too many people are still convinced that Elon's wealth is attained through his hardwork alone.

[-] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 13 hours ago

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

[-] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 31 points 13 hours ago

Ah yes, i will wait for it while I am travelling in the hyperloop

"It's not that hard! I swear" (Elon)

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 39 points 15 hours ago

Vibe coded Operating System. And Office suite. And cloud offering. And Enterprise. And SaaS. And game console.

What could go wrong?

[-] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 13 hours ago

What could go wrong?

Seeing how Microsoft (and Windows 11 in particular) is doing lately, and how practically every single Windows update is breaking something important, a lot.

We've already got one vibe coded Windows. We don't need another one.

[-] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 hours ago

I actually think we do need more vibe-coded OSes. Linux marketshare won't climb up by itself!

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Honey, the spread sheet is saying 1 + 1 = 3!

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

take out your USB-C, flip it upside down, plug it back in. how's the math now?

He's been snorting ketamine again, hasn't he..?

[-] DampSquid@feddit.uk 8 points 13 hours ago

Always has been

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago

Thst's not how this works. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS FUCKING WORKS**!!!**

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 20 points 14 hours ago

But has musk ever been wrong?

Apart from hyperloop, solar rooftops, Tesla semi, passenger rockets, car tunnels under cities, robotaxi, flying Tesla's, humans on mars in 2022, self driving Tesla's making the owner money, and of course cybertruck.

[-] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 12 points 13 hours ago

He probably can't even solve his kids name.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

latest child's name is just a captcha and since he got the brain implant, he can't recognize them
