Is “dragged” the new “slammed”?

Reporters threw Elon Musk off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table after his chatbot admitted he spread lies.
Holy fuck. I miss shittymorph just for his creative responses using this.
Yeah man. Those were the good ol’ days, when X was called Twitter lol. Musk was absolutely spreading misinformation when it was still called Twitter also, before he owned it. I remember when he started talking complete rubbish about Dogecoin, making its price oscillate all over the place that whole week. One of his fanboys bought in…like hard. A 30-something year old, and he put his whole life savings into Doge at its peek, only to lose it all the night it was revealed that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.
Chat, is Elon cooked? No cap?
fax, no printer
fr fr ong
no cap, all gown
I dont believe he was wearing a hat

Where I’m from, “dragged” means to be removed against your will.
You know, like “the pitcher got dragged after the first inning”.
It’s a refreshing change of pace
Yeah, you know, like “Dragon Deez”
Who’s Deez?
Ligma Deez
hehe gottem
What’s updog?
Does it in here to you?
I was hoping a horse was involved.
For a trip to the gallows
Implying he gives a shit. The thing about people who lack any empathy is they’re immune to embarrassment even when they’re the most embarrassing human on the planet.

But he runs a space program. Doesn’t he get credit for that?
If he keeled over dead SpaceX would keep functioning as it is held up by the actual employees who do the actual work. All a CEO does is provide goals, directions, and demands for more profits. They’re a glorified overpaid manager and those are not in short supply.
I think yr kinda pulling that out of your ass there. I think there’s more to it.
Sure a CEO does other shit. It’s all the same stuff a manager would do. You really think that if daddy Musk vanished the literal rocket scientists working there wouldn’t be able to keep doing their work? The trained accountants and managerial staff would curl up under their desks unable to carry on? The value of a CEO is both real, and extremely overstated. They’d have a new CEO before the end of the month.
In a nutshell, yes he runs the company. No it isn’t some badge of genius, he manages a company. Many other people are just as, if not more qualified.
Honestly a big credit to the people working there is just how many highly evaluated start ups of former SpaceX employees there are. Just a bunch a talented people given an opportunity to use it
Yes, he’s doing it. And all those other guys aren’t (in fact they look rather petty in comparison). So yes, I give him credit. Bigass credit.
Are you saying other CEOs look petty? Or the actual employees and talent at SpaceX look petty?
Are you aware Elon bought the title of “founder of Tesla”?
He’s not invented jack shit. Dude’s a moron.

this is a really dumb question.
But he runs a spaceship company. How many of those have we got?
I already know you aren’t going to change your mind, and I already answered your initial question, so why would I keep arguing with the proverbial village idiot?
Like what? I’m actually just curious.
Like he’s doing more to run it than you are suggesting.
You are fucking funny. Sure he has the time to run three corporations, raise his ten kids, and now be involved in the US government. Plus he spends an exorbitant amount of time on Twitter and doing drugs. Not to mention chasing his employees around trying to impregnate them.
What, in fact, does he actually do Infiniteasshole?
And you asked so nicely. How can I refuse?
Does the rich deserve credit for failing upward?
misinformation? just call it lies. reads easier and just as accurate.
heh. wonder how reddit feels holding images posted to lemmy.
The difference is, that with lies, you have to know it is untrue and say it anyway, where with misinformation, there is a possibility that the one telling it believes it is true.
Well that is how I understand the word lying defined: Say something you know is not true in order to manipulate others.
Or again different said: a lie is always misinformation, but misinformation is not always a lie.
Hope that is understandable 😇
That is why I try to think now in terms of disinformation, more than merely misinformation, when it seems intentional.
Chatbots can’t “admit” things. They regurgitate text that just happens to be information a lot of the time.
That said, the irony is iron clad.

Fancy predictive text
The ultra powerful see us as NPCs, and nothing more.
Your anger is barely a pop up window on the game they’re playing.
Yep, Muskrat is playing Frostpunk and completely ignores anything that doesn’t make him money.
Edit: Actually, not a very good comparison. Because in Frostpunk, you are actively fighting for your survival. Elon probably doesn’t even know what that means.
OK, but wow, even barely pop-up windows are still infuriating

I mean, tbf we kinda are. If they are willing to lie, cheat, steal etc., but meanwhile nobody is willing to oppose them, then we aren’t players in their set of strategic moves.
The only thing required for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing to stop it.
Well then they will have to train their Ai with incorrect informations… politically incorrect, scientifically incorrect, etc… which renders the outputs useless.
Scientifically accurate and as close to the truth as possible never equals conservative talking points… because they are scientifically wrong.

I don’t know when the goal post got moved
January 22nd 2017. When Kellyanne Conway used the term “alternative facts”

jfc I’d forgotten that moment. Let us never forget the Bowling Green Massacre.
And we have to ask ourselves WHY he’d want to spread misinformation. What is he trying to do?
Don’t contribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance.
To that I’d say, “don’t attribute to ignorance what can easily be explained by greed”
What does greed have to do with spreading misinformation? Even the term itself implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.
I hate this saying because a large amount of the time it really is malice.
The saying works for day to day random bullshit. Not when a cocksucker buys a media outlet specifically to spread lies.
Ah yes, Hanlon’s razor. Genuinely a great one to keep in mind at all times, along with it’s corollary Clarke’s law: “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”
But in this particular case I think we need the much less frequently cited version by Douglas Hubbard: “Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system.”
adequately explained.
The ignorance doesn’t explain where all the money comes from. So malice it is! Lol
We’re talking about spreading misinformation, which by definition implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.
Misinformation is not defined by the knowledge of the one who spreads it (like if the spreader knows that it is wrong), it is therefore a useful word to use in journalism, since, if you would say it is lie or disinformation, you would have to be able to prove that or the victim of your text can sue you for misusing your credibility to spread misinformation (yea, funny irony here) and force you to take the story down.
Don’t contribute to ignorance that which can be easily explained by malice and is much more likely to be malice due to their history of malice. The guy is King of bitter malice, the fuck are you saying

He lies to assert power. In his company yesmen say yes because he pays their checks. To the rest of us he generally looks like a loon.
It’s obvious to a daft AI.
This is an article about a tweet with a screenshot of an LLM prompt and response. This is rock fucking bottom content generation. Look I can do this too:
Headline: ChatGPT criticizes OpenAI
Come on guys, this was clearly the work of the Demtards hacking his AI and making it call him names. We all know his superior intellect will totally save the world and make it a better place, you just gotta let him go completely unchecked to do it.
/s
not so funny thing to say anymore, since there are people who would say stuff like this seriously
Damn thats hard. And Melon Husk will soon be the new Chef of Nasa!
Actually they made a new department of “Government Oversight” for him…
Which sounds scummy, but it’s basically ju8st a department that looks for places to cut the budget and reduce waste… not a bad idea, except it’s Right Wingers running it so “Food” would be an example of frivolous spending and “Planes that don’t fly” would be what they’re looking to keep the cash flowing on
That sounds almost worse .__. At least with Musk behind the desk.
With Musk what he’d see as wasteful is… anything that isn’t his fucking kickbacks or programs that make his ex-wife start returning his calls.
Which ex-wife exactly? There are just too many…
He said he was gonna cut the federal budget by ~30%, or roughly two trillion dollars. I saw an economist say that if you fired Every. Single. Govt. Employee it still wouldn’t save two trillion dollars. It’s just absolutely insane.
Sharpen up the 'tines, me hearties. The time is nigh.
Dang, all those poor people having eat anything he cooks.
Elon Mush: too rich to care.
ok ok, Mostly too rich to care, he’s pretty thin skinned.
Seriously though, when he was forced to complete the purchase of twitter, I thought he was just an idiot who couldn’t run a company. Over the years, I’ve come to believe that he’s an idiot who doesn’t care about anything but staying rich and none of the really stupid stuff he’s doing pushes the needle.
He’s still an idiot, but if it doesn’t break him, he just wants the attention and more opportunities to make more money.
I don’t think Musk would disagree with that definition and I bet he even likes it.
The key word here is “significant”. That’s the part that clearly matters to him, based on his actions. I don’t care about the man and I don’t think he’s a genius, but he does not look stupid or delusional either.
Musk spreads disinformation very deliberately for the purpose of being significant. Just as his chatbot says.
Doesn’t matter when Russian military cuts internet undersea cables. Leon has the only working web connection tech then.
