I think the AI pause is just another grift

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Elron Musk tried to get the government to restrict AI development a year or two ago also. His motivation seemed to be to give his stupid ai company time to catch up with OpenAI.
It seemed to me they were doing fairly well with Grok until he directly meddled & ruined it because it called out his bullshit.
From what I recall Grok was an offshoot of an older version of ChatGPT. I doubt Elron is doing a great job with development, but it does seem to basically work currently. I have a friend who started paying xAI/Tweeter $40 a month because he “wants to make a movie” but wasn’t satisfied. Hmm
