The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents. 'It should be possible to simulate [Microsoft] entirely with AI,' Musk says.

I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon

To be fair there is one personal trait that's really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.

Zero empathy.

and that's exactly why I'll never be megawealthy. or even just wealthy.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Too many people are still convinced that Elon's wealth is attained through his hardwork alone.

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago

Yeah, although if Elon hasn't convinced them I can at least take solace in knowing there was probably no way to convince them anyways. Total lost causes

If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire. The claims that the ultra-rich 1% make for themselves – that they are possessed of unique intelligence or creativity or drive – are examples of the self-attribution fallacy.

Ahhh no no that's because they're in Africa and not America 😌

That's discriminatory! Actually it's because they have dark skin. As a native South african, Musk knows this. Fortunately, he was able to immigrate in 1988 before things went bad. You silly
