Reply to comment by magnesiumb in [OC] The business track record of Elon Musk by born_in_cyberspace

Unicorn means it has a billion dollar valuation.

SpaceX and Tesla are global industry leaders, even if that criteria is a bit vague I don’t really see a way you can argue that. OpenAI I’m a lot less familiar with, not sure what their deal is.

Then OP needs to use common language. You don't use undefined jargon in data presentations, unless your audience is thought to know it as well.

No, you cannot say that with a vague definition. What's to stop me from saying "I'm a global leader in pharmacy, even if that criteria is a bit vague I don’t really see a way you can argue that"? If you make a claim, you need to back it up.

I am a fan of OpenAI for fun with their text generator. It's machine learning or something, people can use it for a variety of things. I am not sure it's real-world utility, honestly, but others might.

The real world utility in text generation is still to come. If it can continue to get better, at some point there will be endless numbers of uses for them. Personal assistant for every person on the planet, replacing millions of phone jobs as text can be turned into voice using text to speech, and so on.

I played around with their Marv the sarcastic robot thing and I think they have a lot of work to do before they put this into the real world. I'd prefer to talk to a real human over a machine any day until we reach uncanny levels.

in what way is tesla an industry leader in anything? no one is following their dangerous design of reducing safety controls to the bare minimum required for the car to be road-legal. there were electric cars before tesla and there will be electric cars after the stock scam that it is runs out
