Re: [FRIAM] OpenAI and the fight between Elon and Sam

One aspect that flew under the radar in Eric's post was Musk's (and trump's) self-aggrandizement. Both the mention of Hanauer and the distinction between "effective" and "good" target this. And the phrase "nose for ..." also targets it. What both Musk and trump do well is persuade their audienc

EricS - Thanks for the "hyperactive matter" formulation...  I'm not entirely clear on the broader implications of this analogy, but as a fan of collective, emergent phenomena, it is fascinating to apply it to more agentic things than sand-grains for example. The whole Swarm legacy, of course

Re: [FRIAM] OpenAI and the fight between Elon and Sam

I want to like Musk. At one point I did, for the reasons mentioned above. I am suspicious that his neuro-link is malfunctioning and destroying his empathy. That being said, I am hopeful that he brings the metric system to the USA, and somehow doesn't end up in charge of the nuclear weapons arsenal

Steve, I really like your reply. There’s a lot I could comment on and maybe add a different perspective—not as a competing argument, but just another view. But for now, I’ll focus on this part: */_It seems possible, for example, that Tesla's dominance in the EV market is past..._/* I wou

[FRIAM] OpenAI and the fight between Elon and Sam

Elon and Sam co-founded OpenAI (along with others) as a non-profit, aiming to make AI open-source for the good of humanity. Then things got messy. Elon walked away, saying he didn’t want a conflict of interest since Tesla was also diving into AI. Later, Sam flipped the script. He created a for-pr
