In the past he's "donated" to his own foundation...
Same strategy trump did, then the foundation can be used as a slush fund

Just because he "co-founded" it doesnt actually mean he knows anything technical about it. He just helped fund the project. He's just a dude with money, a very loud dude with money....

I dont get this part...
How would a group of malicious intent people....capitalize on AI mistakes/defects? 🤔

It's greed. Some fucking bean counter at the top had the bright idea to change a purchase of equipment into purchasing a license to use that equipment, and when people kept buying anyway thought they'd stumbled on a goldmine.
Has nothing to do with liability or protecting an industry, it was entirely born of greed.

Reply to comment by semitope in ChatGPT Passed a Major Medical Exam, but Just Barely | Researchers say ChatGPT is the first AI to receive a passing score for the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam, but it's still bad at math. by chrisdh79
You missed my point, I think.
​
I'm saying that expecting a language model to be intrinsically good at math because it runs on a processor with arithmetic logic is like expecting a living thing to be good at chemistry because our brains "run" on chemical and electrical impulses. The language model AI only has the ability to access the knowledge it has been trained on, which apparently didn't include math.

The reason AI is a risk, though, is not because of what he believes.
The reason AI is a true risk, is because people are going to rely on it too much and AI will always make mistakes, many of which are extremely hard to detect, and because it will be used maliciously by a large subet of people.

I'm sure the IRS will diligently look into how those funds are taken out of the charity as well. /s

Reply to comment by catzszszsss in Tesla Agrees To Open Thousands Of Its Chargers To Other EVs By 2024 by 10MinsForUsername
Look, I don't own a Tesla but I know people own one. So this is entirely a strawman argument which hasn't been built up to be beaten but built up to try and represent their stance... which has flaws (hence strawman).
People who own Teslas believe that the company Tesla (and many believe specifically Elon Musk) is on the cusp of something great and an ever evolving company that will resolve all world problems through innovation. In just a short time Tesla has flown a car in space (wait that's Space-X), they've gotten men on Mars (wait... that hasn't happened yet), they've rescued children from a cave using a cool sub and owned a pedo over Twitter (wait... still not that company) and they've saved freedom on social media by liberating Twitter from corporate government lackies (oh gawd).
Tesla is a company that just always appears to come out with a new amazing life changing product every single six months. They had flamethrowers, home battery charging, solar roof panels (I'm pretty sure that's a different company sir!), full self driving, driver assist, all that cool TV stuff in your car, and no more dealers.
So it just seems like, if there's a company out there that's going to make the world better, it's going to be Tesla.
Now if you're a social Democrat you broadly hate unconstrained capitalism and if you're a Republican or libertarian you worry about surrendering to the authority of corporations and technology. These two forces come together to regulate innovation... and they do a very bad job at it. In the United States, Democrats will create a large number of procedural rules on regulatory organizations in order to create regulations that constrain innovation. The Republicans use these procedural rules to stall developments and block innovations.
So if today we said that USB-C is going to be the international standard for cord charging... that's going to be the standard forever. We'll be stuck with it forever. The countries and regions that locked in an electricity standard the latest have the more efficient electrical grids and more efficient plug ins. Companies could make them more efficient than they are.... but government regulation stops them from doing so. Similarly... baby food in the US can only be made by a couple of companies because regulations make it impossible to get a new baby food approved.
This is really the problem for these chargers. You make all chargers standard so they're universal to all cars to allow for faster growth in EVs... but then you'll be stuck with this technology forever. A technology eventually hits an end where you've maximized its output before you need to really start with a new curve. Something like ChatGPT is at the mid range of that curve.... still room to grow. Our electrical grid is at the end of it, it can't be improved anymore... we fundamentally need to make major changes in conductivity of power. The standard of charge can be improved a bit based on the change... but if some young inventor comes along and invents a better way of using it... we can't do that. Tesla has improved its charge ability a lot over the years and done recalls to make changes to allow for this kind of charging.
The other problem is money. When you buy a Tesla you're getting with it a subsidized rate.... in that Tesla doesn't profit off of their power.... only their vehicles. The superchargers were a huge loser for Tesla... which is why they slowed down the creation of their national network. But hypothetically if they're opened to everyone it also means that everyone gets the same rate (their are laws preventing preferential pricing in this manner). It means that the price of charging off of these things goes up to market rate.
It's kind of like how women are net benefactors of men paying more money on auto insurance. Most women don't actually want equality when it goes the other way. They're not willing to have their insurance rates go up in order for men to pay a fair price.
So yeah, tl;dr
Innovation concerns and price.

Reply to comment by bewjujular in 11 states consider 'right to repair' for farming equipment by Ranew
I wonder if this is either because farming companies have less defense to protect themselves or if farms aren't going well (expensive to start, not lot of peoples continuing in that field) so if they could cut off experience.
Maybe farmers are also angry and make it know to high political peoples.
Maybe those political peoples don't see the issue for the general public since you can usually easily buy a new goods right now while on the farming industry... They have a monopole and seems to be slow in anyway.

That's where the terrible part comes in, you don't deep fake them having pornstar sex, you deep fake lawmakers having sex with each other or you deep fake them having sex with people they hate and alienate. Stuff that is publicly embarrassing for them.
