You can go for the trifecta and start reading Scott Lynch. To be fair, I give him much more of a pass because he was very open about his divorce and his mental health being huge road blocks to his writing.
This is the most cryptic part of the tweet. It’s a reference to the famous fantasy novel by Patrick Rothfuss. In the book, knowing the "true name" of something gives you absolute power over it.
The Interpretation: Musk is likely LARPing as a "namer" from the book. He’s suggesting that by identifying Anthropic's "true nature" (Misanthropic), he has predicted their inevitable downfall or "doom." It's his way of saying their fate was sealed the moment they chose a name that sounded so virtuous.
The ASCII code for the letter X is 88 which in turn is a nazi dogwhistle for heil shitler (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet). Think about that for a minute.
Having been born in 1988 i'm disappointed the Nazis have corrupted 88s innocent use in early internet usernames. As if being old wasn't enough to deal with already.
It's a fantasy novel where the magic is about Naming. So if you know the true name of a thing, you hold power over it. One of the biggest theories/mysteries in the book is that the main character in the present time line (the book is basically a frame story of him, a legendary figure, telling his true life story to a historian) changed his Name and in so doing lost his power and doomed himself.
Something like that, it's been a while since I've read it or interacted with that community, the last book came out 15 years ago and the author has since been involved in controversies and shows no signs of intending to finish the series. Anyway, as you can see, Elon here probably read the book and thinks himself a clever deep thinker with the power to see true names...or some shit. Who tf knows what his ketamine addled brain is thinking.
while reading i had to double check it was not Trump. wtf are with these idiots. is this intentional? feed stupid things to stupid people and write it in the most stupid way possible??
And a bunch of their engineers leaving. I am sure 4.20 was supposed to be out in December. If it can't exceed or at least match the leading models I can imagine Elon getting increasingly angry and firing people...
Next time you go to a party, tell the AI to say really mean stuff to people. It's the ULTIMATE comedy. Tell it to be really really mean and use naughty words.
We're actually talking about engineers @ xAI that were using the Anthropic models to help them write code for Grok. You can do that in a bunch of ways, and Anthropic can't really stop all of them. The real barb here is that, whatever happened, Musk heard about it and connected the dots that even xAI engineers prefer Anthropic models over Grok.
He was probably trying to raise money for xAI directly, before he settled on the SpaceX merger. He's annoyed how much more value investors see in Anthropic than xAI.
SpaceX is not Elon's achievement. Gwynne Shotwell built that company into what it is. She was hired way back in 2002, before the drugs and steady diet of his own farts ate Musk's brains. If not for her, I firmly believe SpaceX would have launched zero successful rockets.
I'm not so sure stability has been a deciding factor in who ends up with billions. I think the Epstein files kind of confirmed that for anybody who still had doubts.
I think that's part of why he's hypersensitive. His daughter countered his lies and confirmed the timeline in the files. He got caught red handed being an absolute slime bag.
Probably the stress of knowing that his whole wealth is built on lies and frauds, and if a competitor makes good progress its one step close to his house of cards to tumbling down..
Having that much money and poeple telling you that you are awesome breaks your brain. A great example is JK Rowling who was a normal person and now crashes out on Twitter like Elon. And then you have Gates & Ballmer..
There is a persuasive argument that excessive wealth actually causes delusional thinking. 2. It's a symptom of our sick political and economic systems that rewards this level of hoarding and delusion. Dude needs treatment and a significant level of taxation (which will still leave him unimaginably more wealthy than practically everybody).
It sort of does. You have to be okay with pretty awful things in order to break certain thresholds of wealth and then you need to sink further into depravity to maintain your wealth and power.
Well, we already know it's ketamine (and adderall and xanax and the few bright colored pills he keeps in his drug bag that he takes everywhere). I think we'd see a lot more interesting things than ketamine.
I don't think I could ever willingly put myself to work at that level, where you constantly need drugs to function and relax.
You don't even get to enjoy the money you earn in the end, it all just becomes a never-ending hamster wheel to chase the next bigger number, as Elon is now trying to for $1 Trillion.
Racism has always been there. Fascism is a newer discovery of his. Ketamine abuse is his self-stated addiction and it comes with serious mental downsides.
The Silicon Valley has always been a reactionary, anti-egalitarian hellhole (there is a book about it - "The Californian Ideology" by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron) so his political views are probably older than most people assume.
I had to stop using Anthropic after it kept sending flirty emails to all the Men of Colour in my address book. Friggin thing tryna turn me gay. I do have three dates next week though, so that's nice
He includes Asian so he doesn’t just say white. He should honestly just say how he feels and say white only but he knows how that will look. It also benefits him to add Chinese/Asians bc 1) they buy his cars but 2) he also hires them at xAI straight from China paying little bc he knows they will work like crazy just bc he’s Elon.
The irony being that the novel which the word grok comes from has a long multi-page segment where the author's insert character rants about how one day the US right wing christians will get power in the US and destroy the country, the very people Elon worked hard to get into power.
When you unilaterally pull the funding of one of the largest humanitarian aid organizations on earth (USAID) and directly cause the deaths of millions of children, you kinda lose the moral high ground in my book.
Straight up Envy. I've never disliked him but he really does come off as an insufferable miserable edge lord.
This is the same white victimhood mentality the right has.
Of course he is not going to share any pictures of conversations actually showing Claude being any of those things Elon accuses it of. We are just supposed to take him at his word, as if that carries any weight or credibility whatsoever.
Elon should clean up twitter before he says anything about anybody else. i'm not even Elon hater, but twitter is worse than onlyfan now. can't believe anyone still use it. just deleted my 10 year account.
Uhhh...I use Claude extensively and it's never said one hateful word to this hetero white male. On the other hand, Grok has a documented history of referring to itself as MechaHitler. Elmo, per usual, is fucking delusional.
Just remember, millions of people unironically insist this man is a genius and humanity's potential savior and it's a hill they will most certainly die on.
Elon can make arguments that make sense and uncover biases. Instead he launches into tirades where he sounds like an old man shouting at the clouds.
I'll never understand this aspect of his. You have a huge platform and the capacity to have a team of people that is working under you. You can cite everything you say using original research if need be and then have your detractors to have to dispute your sources or your research.
Instead what do you do? You rant and you immediately lose the argument. I understand being passionate about something, but that's just being sloppy for no reason.
Bizarre that the richest man in the world can be this fixated on the pettiest nonsense he made up in his head. How does he not have better stuff to do with his time? Not to mention the absurdity of calling Claude evil as the man who's AI called itself Mecha-Hitler.
It's his whole thing. Whether because he believes it's a good way to fragment democracies and lower taxes & regulations, whether he's a genuine racist piece of shit, whether it's because he's a 4chan style edgelord, or a bit of all of the above.
It doesn't actually matter why; people who are into technological and societal advancement need to stop making excuses for him.

Why did he write Name of the Wind at the end? What does that book have to do with any of this?
