Of fucking course. Fuck Bill Gates
I’ve been trying to call attention to his stupid fucking data centers for months. Musk built a constantly expanding data center in Memphis last summer, and then quietly built another in Atlanta back in February. He’s got another in the works in the UK.
He’s hoarding our data and hiring thousands of data annotators to create a giant database that he can charge access to for training AI or any number of evil things.
Bill Gates left Microsoft in 2008.
“Officially” he was a board member until 2020 when he left to avoid being investigated for a sexual harassment scandal
Unofficially there seems to be some indication he is still involved with decision making. Good thing rich people aren’t able to use loopholes to buy press and hide their business interactions and finances. Otherwise we might be trapped in the lamest version of a cyberpunk dystopian nightmare.

this will benefit nobody. someone just end him please
C’mon AI bubble, pop already
I’m gonna actually switch to linux huh
Soo. Another dead end AI investment, or that money could have ended us homelessness for multiple years. Monies well spent.
Microsoft likely does not want to be reliant on an independent company for its AI models if the technology is going to be as revolutionary as many in the industry believe. It is better to control your own destiny than rely on a wild and frenetic company like OpenAI, which has seen a slew of scandals and ongoing drama, including the brief ouster of Altman.
The whole thing must be very satisfying to Musk, who clearly launched xAI out of jealousy of OpenAI’s sudden and massive rise. He co-founded the startup, after all, but left following disputes surrounding its direction, only to see the company launch ChatGPT and kickstart a new AI generation. Now he is teaming up with OpenAI’s largest backer on his own rival startup. Musk also continues to try and sue OpenAI over its transition to a for-profit company, among other issues.
Yes, because Musk hasn’t seen a slew of scandals and ongoing drama… Great choice, Microsoft!
The end of Fight Club except it’s data centers instead of the financial district.
And then when the billionaires are supposed to fight they just don’t because Elon musk loves to run his mouth but knows even mark Zuckerberg could kick his ass
Two birds with one stone, I see.
Meanwhile Microsoft is backing away from AI data centers.
Elon Musk is literally the name of a fictional sci-Fi villain. Except he is actually living in our world now.
Let’s fuck the rest of the natural balance on this planet for a fucking gimmick that tells lies confidently.
Jesus fucking christ how I despise humankind.
If before I’m just using it to make it easier for my parents to use their computers, I’m going to actively find ways to boycott Microsoft now
you already know what to do.
