Musk and the consortium made the $97.4 billion offer to buy the nonprofit that controls OpenAI, writes the Wall Street Journal. The group wants all of OpenAI's...

They're the same guy.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago

Lmao I hope Elon hates that Altman called it Twitter not X

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 172 points 19 hours ago

Altman sucks but that's a hilarious burn

[–] wreckingball4good@lemm.ee 84 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Do I want Twitter to be taken over by OpenAI? Absolutely not. Do I despise neonazis more than I hate generative AI? You bet.

Therefore, this is a little funny.

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 21 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Would Twitter be any worse if 100% of the posts were AI generated?

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If they were trained on Twitter then probably not worse but maybe accidentally better, or most likely exactly the same

[–] mrunicornman@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

The only possibility is all possibilities.

[–] SGG@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

It might help the readability?

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 110 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

$9.74 billion for the trash fire that is Twitter is honestly a really good offer, the muskrat should definitely take that.

[–] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 40 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I mean its served his purpose so musk has minimal use for it now...

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 25 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Wrong. He's definitely deadset on X.com being Da Everything App.

[–] foggenbooty@lemmy.world 19 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

This again? It's not going to happen.

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

He's best buds with the fascist-in-chief this time.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 20 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

It won't but he still wants it bad enough to cling to it

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

My guess would be he wants ChatGPT because he can't seem to get Grok working, lol

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

Grok seems to be working fine. It's about as competent as... Gpt4.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Is he? I haven't heard anything about it for a year.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

It's been his dream since before Paypal. Now he has a leg-up on the competition and his hands in the treasury

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Seeing how Tesla sales took a nosedive after Musk went full Nazi and the eXodus is still ongoing, the everything app is not going to be popular.

[–] ZeroPoke@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

I believe he wants it to a payment thing like PayPal or some shit. And I imagine that's what his lackies are doing in the Treasury. He will force the US to use it for all their payments. I wouldn't be surprised with like X bucks too.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Agreed but something being unpopular never stopped him before

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 72 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

How long before this type of behavior gets you thrown out of a window?

In Soviet Amerika, MS Windows throw you.

Not sure where I was going with this one honestly. Started as a callback to Russia owning the White House and then I theew in some corporate twist and couldn't figure out how to land it.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 67 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The world needs a lot more Italian plumbers.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 27 points 20 hours ago

I'm sorry, but our plumber is in another dungeon.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

Defenestrate! Defenestrate!

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 54 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Two of the worst people in America fighting.

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago

When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 16 hours ago

They're just playing. Fighting implies one of them could lose. These fucks can fool around at the expense and anxiety of their employees with no regard for any meaningful consequences of any of their actions.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 20 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

Why's Musk looking so overweight?

[–] EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

His torso shows signs of un-treated childhood asthma, which can result in complications as an adult.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

Some blue tick twitter account probably told him that healthy living is woke or something

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 16 points 19 hours ago

Hate and hamburger diet ages you.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago

He looks like he's been submerged in water for a few weeks.

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee 18 points 20 hours ago
[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 18 points 20 hours ago

It’s the equivalent of two young kids arguing over trading marbles in the playground.
