Tho this has been in the works for a year, Trump will get all credit despite having done no lifting on it. It’s also a way to show that Elon’s not the only tech BFF in town https://openai.com/index/announcing-the-stargate-project/

Trump is small potatoes and way past his 'sell by' date.
You should be worrying about Elon Musk getting ASI.
Think about the consequences.
If the thought doesn't send chills up your spine, nothing will.
The people running point on this are rubes. Do you actually think Masayoshi Son is capable of getting $500 billion out the door without delay or cost overruns due to what will likely be a lot of litigation and pushback?
Masa shed nearly $12 billion from SoftBank just from wework alone; if this project goes caput early on we’re talking about half a trillion of private tech money
How come Amazon and Google weren’t included? How did an award of this magnitude not go through a formal selection process? Assuming this is award and the government is paying the bills.
I would like to think that I am curious person , I like to know how things work , I just wanted to know benefits of AI and how it can help ordinary people , perhaps this was wrong forum to ask those questions
AI will democratize higher level functioning and lead to affordable cures/treatments we’d have to spend 25 years and billions of dollars on to see come to fruition — and have to be recouped. You’ll finally be able to TALK to your computer like a human being and have it do or create whatever you need
The chasm has never been about the computer and the human, it’s been about the impossibility of communicating to each other without deep education. Now anyone will have the ability to circumvent the “smart people” (honestly very few of these guys are that smart) and mobilize their own ideas.
That’s the Trump way. Take credit for everyone else’s accomplishments and place blame on others for his failures. That’s how he’s lived his entire life.
My critique was of our tech overlords who use cool sounding project names like “Stargate” with no appreciation of the cautions presented by those stories (like Stargate SG-1).
Notice he did not wander into the Roosevelt Room like he did to top other techies nor was he wanted I am told as staff not happy about the fascist salute controversy that took focus off Trump.
Just a FYI, in Germany they would have been escorted out of the room by security after that stunt. That's why he's been trying on interfere with German politics recently.
I find it disconcerting that Scott attempted to dismiss or downplay Elon’s salute on the latest Pivot. It was exactly what we all observed and the EOs 47 is signing is further evidence of their Nazi agenda.
@profgalloway gives him benefit of the doubt? HELLO? The REASON most are here is because Elon’s X is overrun with White Supremacists who celebrate “throwin’ Romans”. Wake up Scott.
I was very disappointed in Scott's comment too. Letting Elon get away with that kind of thing has contributed to allowing this horrible takeover.
I can't believe Scott can ignore all the other obvious things Elon has said and done that show exactly what he was doing with that salute. C'mon Scott.
I had to turn off your podcast when you guys were so open to it not being his affirmation of Nazism. Did you not see his prior Nazi affirmation with the AfD?
Tim Miller did the same thing. We’ve learned nothing. STOP being nice and giving ‘benefit of a doubt’ about these people. Ya don’t play around with white power salutes ok? Red Line. It’s not okay.
If only someone with all the money in the world could suffer even one serious personal or financial consequence for doing anything remotely as stupid and insolent as giving a Nazi salute in front of an audience of millions. If only.
It’s telling that the thing the Trump staffers are most concerned about wasn’t that it was a Nazi salute, it was that it drew attention away from Trump.
Two immature men. So sad. So harmful. On another Elon topic from the past, what’s with carrying the mini me on his shoulders? It’s so inappropriate to be parading your child around during adult events because…. You can?! That’s weird. He’s obviously a parent just for show. Again sad.
And I was feeling sorry for Bezos fiance who clearly thought wearing her bra would be the story of the day. Alas, she was outdone by the Nazi salute guy. Who also got more buzz than Trump.
Can't wait for these guys to be all together again. 🙄
Can you talk more about why this is something the country will care about? Big Tech was already spending this kind of money on AI buildout with debatable economic value. No one cared about the trillions of dollars of infrastructure initiatives under Biden (e.g., CHIPS). Seems like a nothingburger.
I’m not sure this would have been the win you think. A lot of the value in AI is replacing mediocre workers with mediocre writing and mediocre art while sucking up huge amounts of energy.
We are reaching marginal return of value relative to the cost of energy & environment with a lot of this shit
And it’s funded by MGX is a technology investment firm launched in the UAE that focuses on artificial intelligence and semiconductors, aiming to surpass $100 billion in AUM.
It is backed by the UAE sovereign fund Mubadala and the AI firm G42.

Lately you guys have lots of banter (which is usually entertaining), but the challenging, “Burn Book” version? I dunno, man.
Your interview with Marc Benioff was a tad soft. 🤷🏽♂️

Yikes

Scott's comment was right up there with "good people on both sides" crap, IMO.
Don't give Elon a pass for that. It was horrifying.
We don’t have any doubts about the fascist takeover. What we have doubts about is when/how to stop it.

All of these fragile egos.
So little impact for the People.
