So this is a story that says BYD has got to a yearly sales figure of 40,000 in Australia after 3 years, while it took Tesla 8 years to reach 40,000.
Really comparing Apples to Watermelons, as the EV market has grown massively in the past three years, and Tesla are still the market Leader. Reckon BYD may overtake them, but it is a poor headline.
It’s just Cosplaying at this point in time. Very bad cosplaying.
It’s also cringe at 300% volume.
I’m fairly sure you could get it to spit out something almost identical but politically reversed if you phrased the question appropriately.
Grok and similar generative ai bots can’t and don’t evaluate truth objectively. All they can do is recombine and regurgitate words they’ve seen elsewhere. The more often something is stated, true or not, the more likely Grok is to spit it back out at you. And of course if you don’t like the first answer you get, you can nag it and retry until you get one you do.
Claims by the AI like that regarding the training of the bot are a messy one for twitter’s PR. Either the bot has been politicised by the company, or it is massively inaccurate and shouldn’t be trusted.
That would certainly be true, if Twitter PR actually existed in any meaningful way any more, or answered questions from journos etc.
They’ll just ignore it completely. Questions will be asked, but not answered. If it gets real traction, musk will get his devs to put a shadowban on the topic on Twitter, and to put an override in grok so it answers more to his liking in future.
Doesn’t seem to different to humans.
This is the vehicle that will kill Tesla. Maga don’t like them because they don’t have old school muscle v8, democrats don’t like them because of who it represents. Oh and it looks like something designed on the set of lost in space, and I’m talking 60’s
When Musk says to do one thing go full Costanza and do the opposite
In March, after a steep decline in Tesla’s share price, Elon Musk told employees, “Hang on to your stock.” The chair of Tesla’s board, Robyn Denholm, has not heeded his advice.
It was definitely full Costanza. Stock rose $60+ a share in the week after selling.
“Denholm has made $US198 million ($306 million) in the past six months selling Tesla stock that she earned for serving on the board, according to a New York Times analysis of securities filings.”
She’s made 350 million so far selling stocks in the company she chairs. The article is pretty icky reading. They sound very hands off and appear to let Elon do what he will, and if they’re clever enough reap enormous rewards with what can only be regarded as intimate knowledge. All above board, but not a good board
She might be happy to cash in as she has forked out sfa but would “earn” a lot more selling in 12 months.
This is the board that literally went to court multiple times so they could pay Musk $56 billion, after shareholders said ‘wtf?!’ and tried to stop them.
They’re taking care of Musk, he’s taking care of them.
The plaintiff who sued Elon Musk over his Tesla pay package, Richard Tornetta, held only nine shares of Tesla at the time he filed the lawsuit.
Songs will be written about brave Dicky Tornetta, who took on Goliath and…ah who gives a ■■■■?
