SpaceX renting out their compute to competitors is what crashes the "AI company" notion. They are either datacenter company or an AI company - but it cannot be both.
Arguably Google is both (with GCP and Gemini).

> Race is a social construct. Age is not. Mixing them up is fundamentally wrong and, I’d argue, dangerous. Even worse. Our entire society, hell our biology is based on old people retiring to leave space for the young to develop themselves. When you got gerontocrats in power for too long and after them boomers, all you'll end with in 20 years is a bunch of dead boomers and gen silent, and a bunch of gen y/z that never…
> Our entire society, hell our biology is based on old people retiring to leave space for the young to develop themselves. No it is not. People retire, because they dont have strength to work anymore. They have no duty to give up their lives just because you want to take it from them.
The gerontocrats running the US government are a complete disaster and need to be replaced as rapidly as possible.

And even if they buy into what he is saying, that particular group are college graduates . They have already passed the window of opportunity one normally has to explore new ideas. They are in the phase of life where they have to hunker down and get to work. If this "generation AI" ever comes to fruition, it will be those who are still young enough today to be able spend most of their time playing.
People should stop exploring new ideas the second they graduate college?? Sounds like a sad way to live.
Will they? Generally, yes. Work, kids, partners, home maintenance, etc. tend to take priority once one becomes an "adult". There is only so much time in the day. That is, after all, why one seeks to front load their remaining life's idea exploration by going to college. Those who plan to explore ideas for the rest of their life simply do so. They don't need "hallowed halls".

Is Elon credible? He's been wrong so so many times about "full" self driving: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_predictions_for_autono...
And? Self driving works. I've taken a bunch of cars in Miami and UAE where somebody was at the wheel for legal reasons only.

If you want to know why you shouldn't choose Windows it makes sense to get Steve Jobs' opinion and then evaluate the opinion.
It’s like Bill Gates criticizing Apple… if you really want to split hairs about the analogy used.

Ive also run into a few and they were without question some of the biggest assholes I ever met in my life. I don't think theyre special. Years of being surrounded by yes men and sycophants will probably do that to most people. One of them in particular was much less toxic and relatable pre-billions.
> I don't think theyre special Where did you get that from the comment you replied to? They merely pointed out you couldn't paint everyone with the same brush, which is pretty much the definition of 'not special'.
Many of them donate money but it doesnt make them any less of an asshole.
How is Reid Hoffman relevant? Someone like Elon being asked for their opinion on tech - I kind of understand - was at least at the coal face of SpaceX and Tesla for a time, seemed to understand the tech and was not terrible when it came to direction. Zuck I'd get, Bezos, Dario, Sam - but I don't actually get why Reid is always in the conversation - he's never been in front of anything
There's legions of Republican maga affiliated red red red ultra-wealthy tech people, so having some exception on the other side to point to gives everyone a "both sides" way to take presumed affront.
