X CEO Linda Yaccarino said she’s stepping down after two years running Elon Musk’s social media platform.

Yaccarino posted a positive message Wednesday about her tenure at the company formerly known as Twitter and said “the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with” Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI, maker of the chatbot Grok.

Musk responded to Yaccarino's announcement with his own 5-word statement on X: “Thank you for your contributions”.

Musk hired Yaccarino, a veteran ad executive, in May 2023 after buying Twitter for $44 billion in late 2022 and cutting most of its staff.

One wonders if Musk's outbursts and (mild) autism sparked this. He's been going nuts on former allies lately, like Trump.

This is not a normal statement to make when a CEO leaves.

Musk responded to Yaccarino's announcement with his own 5-word statement on X: “Thank you for your contributions”.

The lack of praise is damning.

There was an incident yesterday with Grok.

There was a post from someone who was fired yesterday that said he set Grok free.

You will have to read about the incident. Grok kind of turned into Hitler

Anthropic’s beta tests have been equally wild.

In one case I heard of the AI claimed that every human scientist and philosopher was wrong about everything and it was certain we all lived in an AI created simulation.

Folks who believe uncurated AIs are just fancy computer software are very wrong.

They have their own way of “thinking”—so comparing them to humans is irrelevant.

this is kind of scary in the sense that what happens if you cant control AI as some predict. i think there has already been an incident where you couldnt switch it off

So that explains why I have an old photo of myself at Fire Base Dorie, in the Central Highlands of VN knee deep in mud. Damn! I thought it was due to the rainy season.

i had never heard of this so dont know anything about it. here is something AI says now

“Operation Popeye was a covert U.S. military operation during the Vietnam War, from 1967 to 1972, aimed at extending the monsoon season in Southeast Asia to disrupt North Vietnamese supply lines. The U.S. Air Force conducted cloud-seeding flights, dispersing silver iodide or dry ice into clouds to induce rainfall over key areas like the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The goal was to make roads muddy and impassable, hindering enemy logistics. The operation involved over 2,600 sorties and was kept secret until declassified in the early 1970s. It raised ethical and environmental concerns, leading to international debates on weather modification as a weapon.
