You don’t understand the Musk business model. It has been the same for years. His wealth doesn’t come from his products, but from his fanbase buying his stock. The purpose of everything he does is to influence the public opinion to make him the tech genius of today in the collective psyche. Of course, he needs to do impressive things, stuff that a normal person wouldn’t have the resources to achieve. It’s similar to…
I'm interested in what you're saying about classical business terms. Can you elaborate on that a little? I've always found these kinds of people hard to understand. The man has almost unlimited wealth and his motivations seem consistently petty and strange or just downright ludicrous. He's like an alien to me. I've noted the same feeling when seeing VCs/business people speak when I've encountered them.
> his motivations seem consistently petty and strange or just downright ludicrous. He's like an alien to me.
I think it could help to try to think of a historical figure that has done impressive things but which you don't have an overly negative view of. A lot of them seem really weird or alien. In democracies, political leaders are (sometimes!) more "normal" because they have to get elected. So think of a CEO/Founder you like (Jobs?) or earlier people (Napoleon? I dunno, pick yours)
Read a bio on them, they're pretty strange (I like Churchill, dude was wild). It seems that to do extraordinary things you need some traits that make you ludicrous. I don't really know, but it's definitely a pattern

#943Grok has gotten to the top of one benchmark: https://x.com/lmarena_ai/status/1891706264800936307 It's been said before but it is great news for consumers that there's so much competition in the LLM space. If it's hard for any one player to get daylight between them & the 2nd best alternative, hopefully that means one monopolistic firm isn't going to be sucking up all the value created by these things
It's not good news when this competition comes at cost of a gigantic over inflated bubble, in which all the big players keep on sucking billions from investors without even having a business model. This hype will burst sooner than later and will trigger yet another global recession. This is untenable.
The big companies could crash significantly, but if the technology keeps bringing productivity gains, it will have a big positive impact on GDP over the next decade

Probably bad news for the vendors, though. I genuinely struggle to see how most of these LLM companies are going to monetize and profit off their efforts with LLMs already in commodity territory. Government contracts can only flow for so long?
My guess is that Elon will soon announce that Doge is replacing the fired government workers with Grok AI.

Yeah not sure what profit these guys think they'll be able to squeeze out of these models with open source and free clearly being 95% as good
Exclusive contracts with the defense industry or similar deals?
That probably won't come close to justifying the current valuation of either OpenAI or Grok (idk how much investment it took in or how much it has spent so far).

I think it's already clear that these are going to be commoditized and the free / open source versions will be good enough to capture enough of the value that the remaining players will not be Facebook-level monopolies on the space
Apparently it isn't clear to the investors valuing OpenAI at >300B. Possibly they're betting that the ecosystem & integrations around their models will generate a certain amount of lock-in or otherwise make the difference in a close-to-even field
This reminds me of a comedy sketch where a guy is interviewing for a job at a startup, finally gets to the last round and meets the founder, and he tells him the whole thing is an illusion for investors

Most people, based on my experience, would rather support Elon Musk than support a strategy recommended by an individual who believes that the MSM should be trusted. Not to mention that most of your sources to support your points are from far left MSM sources. Your reasoning is exactly why there is so much support for Elon Musk. You probably made more Elon Musk fans just by your post. Most people seem to believe the…
a fact-free post. Nowhere hear is "he reduced spending by x" or "firing y is good." It's all vibes, the deficit could double and the vibes would stay the same, he could be dictator and the vibes would never change.
You need to be vibe checked.

People who buy into Grok are willingly submitting themselves to the far-right propaganda machine. I’m sure it’s nice and tidied up for release, but there is zero chance that Musk will not use this tool to push his ideological agenda given its reach and impact.
Well, if you see any kind of propaganda, you can denounce and I’m sure this community will respond just like we responded to china propaganda and censorship on DeepSeek.
No good will come from of denying progress just because you don’t like someone else is opinions and worldviews.

#949Say what you will about the guy, he kept the training running on time.
So he took credit for improvements others worked on and they also weren’t as good as purported?
(Assuming that is a reference to the Mussolini quote.)

Deepseek is not on par with o1.
It probably depends on the benchmark you choose; according to Chatbot Arena, Deepseek-R1 ranks similarly to o1-2024-12-17; and Grok3 is just 3% above these models in "Arena Score" points.
Chatbot Arena is not really a great benchmark imo
