    You can tell Elon had a heavy hand in this because it’s just so unfathomably lame, off-putting, and unnatural. The market for this is X Nazis, stupid teenagers, journalists, “journalists,” and literally not a single other person. I guess it makes sense from a marketing standpoint, since that’s his core audience, a large and lucrative audience, and his two biggest sources of advertising, respectively.

      If someone had told me 15 years ago that the richest dude on Earth made AI that speaks like an XBox live kid I would have been like “lol nah that’s too dumb. He’d go broke, right?”

        Jurassic Park said that if you combine cutting edge technology with capitalist narcissism then your business venture fails and you get eaten by a hundred tiny mouths.

        Then they made it into a movie and let that capitalist swine survive because he “learned a lesson.” Whatever. He learned nothing.

        We live in the “movie ruleset” universe not the “book ruleset” universe. Unfortunately.
