Huh.
You know, when I think of supercomputer applications, I think of deeply analytical problems based on solid math and well understood algorithms that can be highly parallelised to take the maximum theoretical advantage of the hardware at hand.
You know, the opposite of what the “AI” crowd is doing. Throwing vast amounts of crunching power at a barely understood hypothetical black-box problem in hopes that it potentially yields some interesting results. Maybe.
Why does Elon need all these handouts? If he wants to build toys he should do so with his own money.
Something something, never got a job from a poor man.
He didn’t become the richest prick in the world by spending his own money.
buy em out boys
His vaporware time after time raises billions without any viable output.
In a meanwhile, there are legit businesses which struggle financially because the market ‘doesn’t believe’ in them.
Free market will solve it, my ass
How the fuck do people keep giving him more money??
Most of his ventures are dumpster fires, and SpaceX only runs well because he doesn’t touch it.
Because he’s in charge of the government now. Oligarch power. We are rightly fucked. They will all make even more money and dump any losses on us.
Absolutely amazing thar nuclear power is now so close to his control or influence. Nothing to be afraid of.
it pays to have a saudi arabian sugar daddy to sink money into your tax shelter.
I’m so tired of hearing about this fucking cheesedick
Please don’t encourage this monster.
xAI? Ain’t that his son?
He is gonna use those for terrible things
Nah. As most things he touch, it would be nothing but smoke.
Elon Musk’s xAI has raised $6 billion in its latest funding round, pushing its total capital raised to $12 billion at a valuation of $50 billion, reports TechCrunch. The round, which involved 97 investors, followed a doubling of xAI’s valuation within six months and solidified the company’s position as a growing competitor in the AI sector.
Major investors in this funding round include Nvidia, AMD, Andreessen Horowitz, Blackrock, Fidelity, Kingdom Holdings, and Sequoia Capital, among others. Only previous investors who backed Musk’s earlier ventures, such as the Twitter acquisition, could participate. The minimum investment per participant was $77,593, but the identities of most investors remain undisclosed.
There is a club…
“And you ain’t in it!”
The cult of musk. If you raise from your fan club you don’t get held to account.
Musk + Nvidia, AMD, Andreessen Horowitz, Blackrock, Fidelity, Kingdom Holdings, and Sequoia Capital
How much shit do they have over daddy Sam?
Asking for a friend.
Well Nvidia and AMD will get their money (and possibly some other investors money too) straight back in equipment purchases.
It’s just more money laundering for Xelon.
*translation
Corporations pay to subordinate themselves to the newest idiot in chief.
Anything Musk touches is immediately tainted by association. Any AI product he has a say in should immediately be considered a potential danger to humanity as a whole.
Each individual element in that headline is perfectly tailored to make this comment section nothing but rage and irrelevant insults.
I must admit I got triggered by the word “to”.
Can someone imagine the outcome of a single Elon company going bust?
Xitter went bust a long time ago. It’s propped up by political interests. Tesla auto will probably be in the dumps after the smoke and mirrors wear off. No one outside the cult wants to buy a new Tesla.
i still have no idea why people wanted to buy teslas before he took off the mask either. they’re ugly as sin.
Tesla originally had some star power because they were doing things that traditional automakers claimed were impossible. A litany of poor engineering decisions and Elon showing his true colors have worn off any more remaining novelty.
