US business model: go into billions of debt, brainwash the population via YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Hacker News influencers. Intimidate foreign governments to allow the current snake oil. Wait a decade until you have minor profits and the stock price is through the roof because #growth-mindset.
Elon is a stupid fascist and he only got where he is by failing upwards repeatedly.
Now, that one will be a whole lot harder to debunk.
Come on bro, your hatred of the guy is making you say some dumb shit. You can just say you dislike him and leave it at that, I think most people can at least understand why others would dislike him, but spouting nonsense just makes you (and not him) look bad.
Elons rise to idiocy was Twitter for sure. There are plenty of other multi-billionaires that you don't even know exist.
> You can just say you dislike him and leave it at that
No, I cannot. Maybe you don't live in the US where he's actively taking in a role in fucking the government up, but I do. This is not non-sense to make him look bad, this is the words right out of his own mouth.
If you like those words it says way more about you then me.
I don't want to be mean, but don't you think you're being a little naive here?
And hey, I'm unemployed at the moment. I'm a zero income earner. And yet, I'm still here.
Huh?

I like that you think that only one side is doing it. And without clear partner hashtags or sponsorship declarations neither [1].
Seems like an obvious response from OpenAI ngl.
Ahh the paid pretend fence sitters have arrived.
Now, don't take it as me saying what OpenAI is doing is good. It's more if you're in the industry you know that if you're not doing things like this, you're the only one. Whole damned thing is corrupt.
Everything has inauthentic messaging right now.
Like using doomerism to get regulatory capture for Big AI.

What response? Big AI has been paying influencers forever and they can afford more than Hossenfelder:

Even chess channels have been full of undisclosed vibe coding and robot product placements for at least two years.
I'm saying, the game is the game and everyone's playing it.
I don't like it either. I think all influencers should be declaring payments.
