I looked it up too and honestly I don’t doubt that he does have US citizenship and there’s no scandal. But interestingly, the proof they offer is that he was registered to vote in Texas in 2002 and that wouldn’t be possible if he weren’t a citizen. I’m sure that’s also true. It’s just funny that that assumption would challenge Trump’s allegation of all the illegal immigrants registering to vote. According to him, Musk’s registration wouldn’t be proof of anything.
For perspective, Musk’s net worth increased by $70B since the election.
I wonder if anyone will get strategically divorced to stay under the limit.
You definitely can be fired for not working more than 40 hours in any state with at-will employment. Or rather, you can be fired for no reason at all, and they don’t need to say it was because of the hours.
That’s specifically why it won’t be a government agency. So they won’t be bound by any ethics rules. Make no mistake, this is not a silly one-off. This is the first step of privatizing the government.
He’ll have them sign something saying they were never advisors at all and he was there from the start.
Would love to know the plan against this https://youtu.be/EySCQI3WEi0

Putting aside politics, macroeconomics and questions about build quality, one unavoidable answer is…because they want to. The US should get more ambitious.

I don’t like this.
I swear I’m not just trying to start an argument, but I don’t see the disagreement here. You’re saying people here are too negative, but people aren’t shitting on the idea of LLMs, but the over promising of what they can do. You’re tired of explaining that it’s not true AI, but the confusion of caused by Google calling it “AI Overviews.”
You say it’s nothing new and that we’ve always had to vet sources when Google sends us somewhere, which is true, but the Overviews aren’t sending people anywhere, they’re summarizing and trying to give you an answer. They do link to sources for now, but the end goal is clearly that we trust the summary without following the links.
People who are listening to and parsing his comments are not the same people who will be blindly consuming these “AI Overviews.” It’s a problem.
But it’s not an isolated R&D project. They’re rolling it out in general search. If I have a promising new braking technology, but which still only works well 48% of the time, I’d keep working on it but not put it in production vehicles.
I was just listening to a YouTube playlist of mine that goes back at least 10 years and was disappointed how much of it was deleted. And not only that, but in many cases I couldn’t even tell what the videos were.
Literally just today, I picked one music video that just seemed to be gone from youtube and the internet, but thankfully was able to find a Wayback machine link to the artists website in 2008 with a .mov download link.
They intentionally make it similar so that when you make the obvious comparison, they can say “that’s ridiculous, you’re being extreme” and put you on the defensive.
Hey hey, it’s not fully dead, it just has terminal cancer.
