    He has no clue how to run a business.

    This isn’t a business to him, it doesn’t need to be, its monetary value is insignificant to him, it was always about having control of an established platform, and feeding its audience his propaganda.

        Like I said, its monetary value is of no consequence to him, even if he loses it tomorrow he’ll still be one of the richest people on earth by a long way. And it’s certainly more than a toy to him, and while he might often act like a petulant manchild, don’t think for a second that he doesn’t know exactly what he’s doing (not only with twitter, but with embedding his interests in defence and space agencies for example, without having to personally know anything about running or operating in those industries either).

      Musk buying Twatter is equivalent to the 18th century robber barons buying newspapers to control what they published

      let’s not act like he’s playing 5d chess. he was forced to buy it with one of the worst deals in history if not the worst, for no other reason than the fact that he’s a dumbass. and he’s been desperate to monetize it since.

    Grok 2 uses the image model, “Flux.” Flux is made by black forest labs. You two can download the model and run it locally on a moderately expensive gaming PC or use it for free at https://huggingface.co/spaces/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev among other places.

    I find it funny that the most newsworthy component of this product is made and distributed for free by a completely unrelated company. This is manufactured outrage by musk as a ploy to seem relivant in the ai space. All he did was put a free thing behind a Paywall.

    Based on the pricing they’re probably betting most users won’t use it. The cheapest api pricing for flux dev is 40 images per dollar, or about 10 images a day spending $8 a month. With pro they would get half that. This is before considering the cost of the language model.

    Good hands for an ai. Those girls need to look more uncomfortable around him. Ai can’t seem to decide if they are surfing or riding an airplane through the sky like a surfboard. Nice touch for what I assume is epstien’s plane.
