No competent engineer, sure. If you read The Daily WTF
frequently, as I do, over time a pattern will emerge in which
upper management does this kind of idiocy amazingly often. Who
thinks Musk is upper management, and who thinks he is a competent
engineer? Go ahead, raise your hands.
Hehe. I couldn't have said it better myself.
I have seen this from other country, but still amazed by how the self
made billionaire mythos have co-opted USA* and been extended to the
"once in a generation" world genius and all that companion crap. I
remember saying, long before his fall from grace, that Musk was not a
real man Ironman, but a real man Luthor, except for the genius part,
just a rich megalomaniac super villain.
Going back to the IA topic, recently I started to listen a podcast
episode that makes a hard critique to one of the unfortunately
foundational papers of the field, "The imitation game" and all the
presumptions tone and lack of understanding behind it. It is refreshing
to listen it, amidst all that hype that confuses thinking with the magic
trick that Apparent Intelligence (my coined expansion for AI) is doing:

* For me America is still a continent and not a single country, and such
a naming sounds pretty imperialistic, as people who grew up in other
places of America (the continent) could notice intermediately.
