The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents. ‘It should be possible to simulate [Microsoft] entirely with AI,’ Musk says.

    “In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI,” he added.

    Ummm, is someone going to tell him about the Xbox, Surface devices, and the entire Azure infrastructure they built.

    And here I thought the Windows 11 enshitification couldn’t get worse.

    Nobody should ever trust anything Musk wants them to install on their devices.

      I don’t think that’s possible. Ketamine is a great and safe drug with many medicinal purposes

        Accidental death is very much possible though, and has happened before. Drowning seems to be a particular risk here

        It’s absolutely possible if you’re abusing it recreationally, especially if you start mixing it with who knows what else. The biggest risk is respiratory system just shutting off.

        That’s just an OD though, long term abuse like it’s suspected by many that Musk is doing has a whole host of nasty symptoms that you can look up yourself.

    If it weren’t for the power usage, I’d say let’s see how this plays out. Would be funny to watch it implode and maybe VCs would finally realize AI sucks.

    Mecha Hitler backer of AfD, and “Pardon Derek Chauvin to instigate riots so that we can finally genocide the blacks in America” is hurting auto sales for Tesla.

    Stock price is still very high, because self driving could work (it’s late, behind competition, and underwhelming), humanoid robots could work. He’s also been doing BS transactions between companies he controls to inflate both stock (private market) values, and that BS could expand to Tesla.

    There are several problems with this announcement:

    1. it is a distraction because every other objective is failing. There needs to be a new moonshot announced so that you don’t dump Tesla shares, because you should trust him this time that the new moonshot will be achieved.

    2. Copying Office 365, or improving it, will have new/different bugs for a long time. Unclear why anyone would buy it if the main reason it’s still used is legacy dependencies that worked around any current bugs.

    3. MSFT spying will be (naively) trusted more than MechaHitler spying. Corporate AI in service to US military supremacy and Skynet control over the world is bad for Americans too. Future AI acceptance will not be US mega tech led acceptance. A marketing fight over which company hates Americans the most will harm both brands.

    4. OpenOffice is pretty good for free. An open source local toolchain can add trusted AI integration.

    I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon

        Billionaires are just people with uncontrolled hoarding disorder, but instead of hoarding cats, or junk cars, or magazines, they hoard money. If they hoarded anything else, the authorities would step in and clean up the place and get them medication, but because it’s money, they get celebrated as successful businesspeople, and get loads of more government cash shoveled at them.

      To be fair there is one personal trait that’s really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.

        Yeah, although if Elon hasn’t convinced them I can at least take solace in knowing there was probably no way to convince them anyways. Total lost causes
