Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉@taylorlorenz the right blend to drive another investment into the ground.
I am here just to watch it all burn.
Kevin Archie@Migueldeicaza @taylorlorenz I’m just morbidly fascinated. Who looks at recent history and thinks: I want to work for That Guy, at his startup, no layers of adults in between, just me and the id. I guess maybe if you’re looking for a front row seat at the circus
CheDN
Techronic9876@Techronic9876 @Migueldeicaza @taylorlorenz sure but imagine the drama waiting to see if each next payment is actually going to hit your account
Larry O'Brien@Migueldeicaza @taylorlorenz He’s going to put himself in charge of coding the hardcore automatic differentiating, isn’t he?
@Lobrien @taylorlorenz hardcore all the things!
Aaron
Eric S Burdon@Lobrien @Migueldeicaza @taylorlorenz I think it'll be a slow and gradual process of him doing all of the work himself. After all he loves bragging about his 80+ hour work weeks.
serklarvel@Migueldeicaza @taylorlorenz let's hope #elonmusk gets as involved with this company as with #twitter
sOlOw-NHHR makes them bring their rulers to all staff meetings

@taylorlorenz Are they attempting to build the world's first Misogynistic AI?
Samhain Night@brian @taylorlorenz AI is trained on data stolen from all over the internet. It already is misogynist.
ööpsy@samhainnight @brian @taylorlorenz
I’ve interacted with AI who weren’t misogynistic, actually. And is it stealing if the content is free? Granted, some of the content is probably not free, but only some. So to be accurate, they’re trained on half-stolen internet content.

Dante@samhainnight @brian @taylorlorenz i i think they focused it specifically on twitter data so the ai is going to be extra racist, misogyn, transphobic, homophobic...
the best misinformation generator ever xD

GadgetGav@brian @taylorlorenz Too late!
PedestrianError 
@brian @taylorlorenz There hasn’t been a non-misogynistic AI yet and it would be very difficult to create one without very radical changes to the society it gets trained on.

Piers Cawley@brian @taylorlorenz First? No. Fifteenth? Well, if they hurry up, they might manage that.
AKFRU@brian @taylorlorenz pretty sure it's been done already.
Ruth O’Day@taylorlorenz
I wish that there were some place that I could have gotten odds on that one.

Webs HarteChrist what an asshole. If you view all his actions via a hyper masculine lens, they make more sense. His reason for being: promote his dick size, nothing else
@websharte @taylorlorenz Promote as in increase, I'm sure. With a fragile ego like that he can't be happy with the tooling nature provided.
Earthy Tonez@taylorlorenz There’s no way that a year from noe #Twitter isn’t littered with xai dropping slurs.
PeterThat is arguably one of the *easiest* things not to frak up!
Conlan Spangler@taylorlorenz That's what makes the intelligence artificial.
Jared White (ResistanceNet ✊)@taylorlorenz What could go wrong?
Stephen Dioxide 
@taylorlorenz It's an AI company. Why is it staffed at all? Shouldn't it just run itself?
@taylorlorenz And look! No one's black, either!
Shockingly not shocked.
Shockingly not shocked.
@samhainnight @taylorlorenz I can't believe there are people who aren't white. Boggles the mind.
CyberMat75@taylorlorenz well I for one am shocked - shocked I tell you - that a white supremacist misogynist would only employ men
Esther 
🌱🐾🍋 #fcknzs@taylorlorenz Ofcourse. He’s afraid of women 😏😉
Pamela@taylorlorenz Unexpectedly not surprised!
Richie Enameller@taylorlorenz they all had to measure their dicks as part of the interview process. Many people are saying this.
Brian Grinter@kroltanz @taylorlorenz came here to say that…
Rachel Rawlings@taylorlorenz I'm shocked, shocked to find that dickbaggery is going on there.
Surprised he didn't call it XY Corp.
Ronan@taylorlorenz can't imagine there are too many women keen to work with a boss who wants to have his pudding publicly measured
Erlend Sogge Heggen@taylorlorenz hah! I have a feeling this journalist threw that article together after seeing this HN comment:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36697531
It trended up to the top in the xAI thread before a mob descended upon it with downvotes and self-incriminating comments.
HN-guy: I'm all for diversity for diversity's sake, but I find this to be a very strange position. What difference between men and women are you proposing that allows one or both to have unique insights into the nature of the universe?
> I count a dozen dudes. I don’t think we’re gonna figure out the true nature of the universe via that kind of monocultural uniformity.
HN guy begs to disagree.
@erlend @taylorlorenz For a second I didn't realize you were quoting someone, and was about to blast you myself. lol
Jörg Seidel@taylorlorenz
What could possibly go wrong?
What could possibly go wrong?
@taylorlorenz But look, some are Asian men, so diversity, right? 🙄
@gadgetgav @taylorlorenz A surprising amount, considering!
Michael ☕️@taylorlorenz
Think of it as a good thing. I wouldn't want to be associated with any part of it.

John MacFarlane@taylorlorenz Damn, what a knob. Wish it was a surprise.
@taylorlorenz Probably because women are to sensible to pursue snake oil like this. AI is in the future, and it always will be.
Erik@taylorlorenz and the black men representing the broom cupboard or something 🤷🏼♂️
Jenny Fx@taylorlorenz you'd think that a team aimed at understanding AI and the universe would also hire some people from some other fields like education, sociology, medicine, any humanity really.. but no. We are tech bros. We don't need to listen to anyone.
MettEagle@taylorlorenz and so will their ai be.
Ray Jepson@taylorlorenz I can't blame women for staying away...major creep vibes from that guy.
@taylorlorenz i guess women possess too much natural intelligence to work there.
🌊🌺V🌺🌊🇺🇸🗽🇵🇷✊🏾🌻🇺🇦🌻@taylorlorenz His picture at the top reminds me of Suge Knight live at the source awards dissing Puff Daddy saying to come to death row records if you don't want to worry about the producer trying to be all up in the video all on the record dancing 🤣🤣🤣.
Musks face is all up in it always at the top and he just takes over he's not the artist or creator he's the investor 😂

Medea Vanamonde🏳️⚧️ ♀@taylorlorenz this is a surprise?
soanes@taylorlorenz this does not happen by accident
@taylorlorenz just ingested the article .
Oh Goddess…he’s gonna use that company to prove we are living in a Simulation
