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.

Heeeeey that was MY idea. Not the AI agent part, the name part.

Red Alert 2 also had one it's called MassiveSoft & I think the CEO/Chairman was called Bing😂

Ah yes, i will wait for it while I am travelling in the hyperloop

"It's not that hard! I swear" (Elon)

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

[–] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Too many people are still convinced that Elon's wealth is attained through his hardwork alone.

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 hour ago

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

🤦‍♂️

He's been snorting ketamine again, hasn't he..?

[–] DampSquid@feddit.uk 5 points 1 hour ago

Always has been

[–] Bot@sub.community 3 points 2 hours ago

Salty, sounds like porno

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Thst's not how this works. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS FUCKING WORKS**!!!**

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

But has musk ever been wrong?

Apart from hyperloop, solar rooftops, Tesla semi, passenger rockets, car tunnels under cities, robotaxi, flying Tesla's, humans on mars in 2022, self driving Tesla's making the owner money, and of course cybertruck.

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 hours ago

He probably can't even solve his kids name.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 25 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

Vibe coded Operating System. And Office suite. And cloud offering. And Enterprise. And SaaS. And game console.

What could go wrong?

Honey, the spread sheet is saying 1 + 1 = 3!

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 hours ago

What could go wrong?

Seeing how Microsoft (and Windows 11 in particular) is doing lately, and how practically every single Windows update is breaking something important, a lot.

We've already got one vibe coded Windows. We don't need another one.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

All that junk code, what could go?

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Also vibe coded vibe coding AI assistant.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

Vibes all the way down.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 23 points 6 hours ago

So stupid that I can't even tell if an Onion article is real or not.

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

how would you simulate microsoft with ai?

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Macrohard, which he ain't because of that botched surgery.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 13 points 7 hours ago

This guy gives me second-hand embarrassment for humanity.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 76 points 10 hours ago
[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 hours ago

I just watched something earlier that showed a clip of him saying how he was warning everyone early on about the dangers of AI because he was genuinely scared of the harm it could do.

Glad he’s not a hypocrite or anything.

Sharon... the porch won't slow down.

[–] hydrashok@sh.itjust.works 146 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It should be possible for a car to not run over people, too. That seems like a more pressing computing issue.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 88 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

MACROHARD, GET IT???

I'm hilarious and edgy, so my cars can kill a few people, as a treat.

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

And Microsoft did it over a decade ago for day9's company's after dark StarCraft tournament.

Moron isn't 1% as funny or creative as he thinks he is

[–] plyth@feddit.org -1 points 1 hour ago

Difference is that he does the things everybody else just thinks.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 27 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Shut the fuck up, Elon. Can't you just quietly enjoy being the richest person on Earth?

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If I had his money I'd be 24/7 inventing cool things for myself and wife and friends to experience. This guy has a fundamental need to be the loudest person in the room and to embroil himself into anything and everything. I would almost feel sorry for him - his life has got to really suck so bad and he can't fix it. So instead he goes off on 100 projects that make no sense or fall apart. There's stuff I can't wrap my head around like - why ditch LIDAR when it's absolutely the answer ? You just know his convoluted brain is so full of mess that if you were offered a deal with the devil to get all his money on the condition that you got trapped in his meat grinder of a mind... you'd turn down the offer.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If I had his money I would attempt to end homelessness in the US, someone who seemed to know what they were talking about estimated it would cost $50 billion. I would start my own animal sanctuary. I would create a high speed rail system. Then I would just fuck around, travel, and build weird shit. Probably take a bunch of LSD every now and then.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Have you considered doing this backwards to end up as a billionaire who can donate his billions to charity?

Giving all homeless shelter and work would create a huge company.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 20 points 9 hours ago

The wealth was meaningless without the attention.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 107 points 13 hours ago (9 children)

Sounds like something a teenager would come up with - this is exactly what I'd expect Musk to do

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 hour ago

hes 12yo what you expect. his teslas models are are named after SEXY

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's an old joke that the opposite of Microsoft Office is Macrohard Onfire

[–] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago

Haha, yeah that joke was pretty funny... back in 1993.

[–] natecox@programming.dev 68 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It is literally a joke I made in high school, ~25 years ago.

He’s such a loser.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago

Too early. Comedy is all about timing.
