Transcript:
Elon: The actual number of moves that are not utterly stupid in chess is tiny and chess will be fully solved one day

Chess.com: Skill issue

Elon: Chess is hard for humans, but not for computers. One day, it will be fully solved like checkers. Between now and then, or even after, have fun. People enjoy may games/sports where machines are vastly better.

Chess.com: There are more possible chess games, by about 40 order of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you'd have to map them all. Good luck.

Elon: Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 ooms less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend. (Here I am arguing with some random intern at a chess website)

Chess.com: I'm a full-time employee

Elon: (something-emoji)

"Even my friends don't text me back that fast" is a wonderful insult.

    So I guess Elon tried to get into chess because it's a smart people hobby, got demolished, and now is having a sour grapes moment.

    Probably also paid others to play for him like with his stupid video games, he's fucking pathetic.

    I would be curious what his highest chess.com raing is. I got to 1650 once, a middling score, more often in the 1500s but don't play much now.

    I don't know what he has against chess, but this is like the 3rd time I've seen him try to convince everyone that it's pointless because of computers.

    I'm pretty sure it's because he can't stand losing. The man clearly suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder.

    Right? I'm sure he expected to immediately be a god at chess with no studying or practice, then got upset when that wasn't the case.

    Yes, because of his financial success, he considers himself a genius—which he very obviously never was. This is a common trait among billionaires. Many of them are psychopaths who have amassed their wealth through utter unscrupulousness, irresponsibility in the form of an absurd willingness to take risks, and sheer luck.

    In the case of Musk, Thiel, and various others, that stroke of luck was PayPal. That company was so successful that it made all of its investors immeasurably rich—it was more a matter of chance that PayPal succeeded, and everything that followed really wasn’t all that difficult because that kind of money cannot lose anymore no matter how ridiculous stupid someone might be.

    That’s precisely the problem: We only hear about the people who bet everything on one card and won—they’re portrayed as geniuses, which they never were. We never hear anything about all those who failed miserably—and that’s the vast majority.

    Billionaires aren’t geniuses or even above-average in intelligence. Their financial success has, in the rarest of cases, anything to do with intelligence.

    The guy who pays people to play video games for him so he can fail at pretending he played himself in a "Hello, fellow kids" moment is pretending to be smart again? Wild.

    He's so insecure about his own intelligence.

    Imagine being the richest man alive and your whole existence is being envious of other people's abilities.

    So he just saw "40 orders of magnitude" and decided that just happened to be the same number he needed to make his point (just going the other way).

    Lol ok.

    Legitimate question; does he know what an order of magnitude is?

    Ok;

    This is the observable universe.

    Not the entire universe, which we have no idea how large it is.

    So the observable universe has 10^80 atoms or so. The number of possible moves in all possible chess games is supposed to be around 10^120. That number is called the “Shannon Number.”

    According to this site.

    Elon wants to become a computer so badly, but not even he will put a neuralink chip in his head.

    That speaks magnitudes about that tech tbh.

    I knew Melon Husk was a moron years ago. Just before the release of the Cyberdumpster, he had made an off-the-cuff statement about the quality of said vehicle as "having a tolerance of plus or minus five microns". At the time I worked for a company that made power train parts for all kinds of different makes and models of cars. specifically, I made what's known as a "spider", a type of gear that allows for flexibility at the joint: the part under the protective "boot" if you've ever glanced under a car. My job was running the machine that cuts the splines on the spider that makes it fit on the shaft. Even the smallest of spiders have an I.D. (inner diameter) tolerance of plus or minus fifteen microns.

    I knew by Melon Head's comment that he either didn't know what the fuck a micron was, or just thought it would make him sound smart because nobody else did. This was back when he was at the height of his popularity, before he got involved with the orange Pedo-in-Chief and started throwing Nazi gang signs.

    I'm glad that the Cyberdumpster was/is such a failure; those things are ugly as fuck. On the other hand, I hate that the rest of us will have to foot the bill for his fuck-ups.

    Even though elon is like a bad James Bond villain he is nothing like the Bond villains from the movies. The movie Bond villains had sophistication and class.

    I think some people don’t understand what a pastime is. I don’t care if someone solves chess just like I don’t care if someone uses AI to generate an image. I play chess to play it. I make art to make it. The doing is the point of it.
