There’s not much information about xAI, but diversity is already an issue

      Elon is an asshole but he isn’t an idiot as some would claim.

      There are multiple quotes from aerospace engineers that do and don’t work for him noting he understands and contributes.

      John Carmack who is considered a world class coder and also had a rocket company has publicly stated Elon both knows rockets and coding.

        Elon is an asshole but he isn’t an idiot as some would claim.

        It’s honestly too difficult to tell since he’s constantly grifting and lying his way through life. For immediate example, he was making some fairly false statements about how rapidly his team “could colonize mars”. To seem impressive and “make the sale”, he threw out some wild number of how many colonists they could get settled by a certain year (number was maybe a million, timeline was maybe 2050, I’m forgetting at this point) but the moment anyone who was actually good at math, astronomy, engineering or rocket science examined that number and timeline it was clearly bull shit with no possible way to accomplish it.

        He’s smart enough to be in a room with folks smarter than him, but everyone else is carrying the load while he takes credit.
