alt Hacker NewsThis is a matter of politics; it's a matter of reputation.
I'm fine with using AI tools offered by companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google despite knowing that these companies are ran by billionaires who are much more aligned, politically, to Musk than they are with me.
What I'm not fine with is handing over valuable data to a guy that has literally completely captured the US government and has shown a disdain for being perceived as someone who even pretends to follow social norms or respect societal rules. You can just look at his actions with regard to Twitter and you can see, without needing any political lense, that he's openly haphazard about this kind of technology and how he wants to use it, especially for his own personal gain, because he knows he's untouchable.
The guy just sucks at the job of being the face of these companies, and this is how sucking at that job affects the bottom-line. But, again, that doesn't matter to him because he has so much money that he can just personally bankroll past those inadequacies.
Thats a very naive position to have my friend. You AT LEAST know Musk position/stance. What about the others CEOs? you never hear them talking about politics, perhaps some of them are 10x worst in ideology and bad influence against your values and you will buy and give your data to them without knowing. Ultimately, you are using a judgment you objetivelly can NOT do, nor trully compare the other options, so you are complicating and perhaps and ultimatelly being the grain of sand of a sand storm that can do damage to probably the most important entrepreneur of our time, who achieved so much. I Rather give him resources to achieve something, because the guy does eventually deilvers.
