He’s also promising a fully self drivable car by the end of 2017

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

To be fair it drives on its own. Off cliffs, into walls and other vehicles, while seemingly targeting pedestrians BUT it does drive on its own. haha

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

Oh boy, 2017 can't come soon enough!

Here's a comprehensive and up to date list of failed deliveries, so far.

HE is training it? Oh boy... Expect absolute meltdowns every time you call it for the right wrong name or tell it it's wrong in its statement.

Isn't he the one who warned that AI would be the end of mankind?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 5 months ago

Maybe that was more of a mission statement than a prediction.

[–] vegeta 24 points 5 months ago

AI for me, but not for thee.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Yep, he announced his AI.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

It was back when he feared of being left behind by other companies

[–] [email protected] 44 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Elon the worlds most powerful con man is at it again.

[–] SuckMyWang 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think it’s why he drifted right. He couldn’t handle being called out on his bullshit so he needed to find a group of people who wouldn’t question him

[–] Invertedouroboros 6 points 5 months ago

Absolutely. So much of the right wing media space is inhabited by, funded by, and glorifies grifters that they've created a constant chunk of their audience that is vulnerable to their tactics. Values or policy prescriptions don't even really need to come into it, if you are a grifter it's just a smart business decision to start drifting to the right. It opens up those audiences to you because you are "one of them".

[–] JeeBaiChow 6 points 5 months ago

He's the richest. Trump was the most powerful.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago

Listening to Musk is like that logic puzzle where one guy speaks only lies. But without the other guy.

[–] Angry_Autist 34 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well if this stacks up with the rest of his claims then it's going to perform as a GPT2 model and come out the box rrrrrreeeeealllly racist.

Next year™

[–] oakey66 23 points 5 months ago

Mfer can't even deliver the $25k Tesla. You think he's going to deliver the most powerful AI? Lol. I got some snake oil to sell you.

[–] kokesh 19 points 5 months ago

Who cares what this a*shole says

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

Also, his wang is the biggest by every metric, he's the funniest guy by every metric, and everybody loves him by every metric.

I long for a world where people like him stop talking.

[–] BreadstickNinja 18 points 5 months ago

Every metric! Miles per gallon! Head of cattle per acre! Every possible metric!

[–] JeeBaiChow 12 points 5 months ago

It'll probably also guarantee 45m/ month to some rapists presidential campaign.

[–] Ensign_Crab 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

He's training Zuckerberg?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

This time next year he's going to unveil a newly skinned Eliza.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Eh this is the same guy who has promised real self-driving cars within 2 years....every 2 years. I'll believe it when I see it.

(also why is OP being downvoted for posting the article, it's news and from a reputable site)

[–] MeanEYE 2 points 5 months ago

For past 11 years. And don't forget the convoy technology they can do today™.

[–] Cosmicomical 8 points 5 months ago

He's not doing shit, someone is doing something and he's capturing the merit

[–] jordanlund 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Foolish Elon, we don't use the metric system here!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

It's going to be powerful by every imperial, too.

Well, it says 100k H100s.

Looks like an H100 is 700W.

looks at WP's table of the TOP500 list of supercomputers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOP500

The top entry there -- has, as accelerator cards, 36,992 MI250Xs, which are apparently 500W each.

It's the highest compute card count other than one using Intel Max 1550s, which has 63,744 cards, which are 600W each.

I'm not sure that the TOP500 is necessarily the best ranking here, since I don't know if it's the best metric for GPU-style compute, and the CPUs are also a factor. But at least going off what he's saying, it'd probably rank above those for GPU power consumption (and compute capacity).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Meh. It’ll still have all the weaknesses of other LLMs.

[–] db2 3 points 5 months ago

Plus it'll be extra special after Elon trains it. An LLM that comes with a helmet for itself.

[–] Angry_Autist 1 points 5 months ago

The real advances we will see in the coming years will be postprocessing. We don't need new LLMs, we need new ways to make use of the data we already have models for.

[–] Etterra 6 points 5 months ago

Is it named Sloth? Actually that's a disservice to Sloth.

[–] SlopppyEngineer 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Putin really taught him to speak Russian. Everything is the opposite of what he says.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Could you please not disparage an entire language and ethnic group? There's an entire grocery list of things you could insult Musk about, even while including Putin, to not bring the Russian language into it.

[–] SlopppyEngineer 0 points 5 months ago

After "you have some people speaking Russian there" became a reason for invading a country, the entire language and ethnic group is indeed viewed less favorably.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yeah, that grifter gonna use every single phony metric.
