"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yes Musk has a very long record of not paying people until they eventually sue him. This isn't a new thing, this has been a kind of lifelong thing of Musk's.

Salomone was persuaded by a video deposition of Joseph Killian, a former Twitter executive, who testified that Twitter stopped paying rent in December 2022 as a “renegotiating tactic — a tactic to save money.”

This has literally been Musk his entire life.

That explains why he and Trump became so close. They both enjoy dine and dashing.

Until people stop working on the promise that skeezy grifter billionaires will pay them, they will continue to get scammed.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

And with one born every minute there's a lot of people who don't think they would be scammed by the scammers

You don’t get rich paying your fair share

Remember: the reason billionaires are rich is because they steal other people's money

Let this be a lesson: If you throw in with the worst criminals on the planet, don't be surprised when they betray you.
