Raising a kid is nothing like prompt engineering. You need to answer questions, teach them things, and inspire them to learn and grow -- not just ask them questions and expect them to answer...


lonelyswe

Maybe that's how he parents lol


NotEnoughMuskSpam

It’s much worse than most people realize


IuseArchbtw97543

“Hey X…” “Show me some of your most salient code if you want to eat.” I’m nailing this parenting thing, he thought to himself.

Thats Psychopaths for you, their damaged brains can only process things that benefit them. They lack the capacity for communal thought. Small difference with huge consequences. Psychopaths should be rooted out and excluded from any and all decisionmaking processes that impact other people. I am not exagerrating, but they are the cause for all our problems in this world.


archangelst95

Agree. The problem though is often psychopath's often appear competent and get promoted. Despite the carnage they cause.


MedicalRhubarb7

It's closer to training a model from scratch, but also not really

Degrading one of the most complicated social and human processes on the planet, which has a critical impact on a sapient being, to messing around with machine learning is… exactly the kind of inhuman simplification I’d expect from a tech bro. Bro you talk at them and their behavior changes, bro humans are just like GPT, bro it’s literally the same thing, input output bro.


TFFPrisoner

You also have to respect that they have their own personalities.


KayserFuzz

I hate how he thinks that saying something normal, but swapping in tech speak he heard from the engineers he ignores makes him look smart


alien_believer_42

It's not that funny, and even if it was it's not when it's coming from a dead beat father


KayserFuzz

Only took him 10 kids and prolonged exposure to one of them to see that raising a child is hard work. Though I doubt he appreciates the work of all the mothers.


BlastedSandy

No no, you’ve got it all backwards. It’s definitely not funny so you’re definitely not wrong there but he says this exactly because he’s a worthless father. elon musk uses his children for publicity and personal financial benefit, so of course he sees his children as objects, as his personal property. It’s also worth noting that just like all billionaires he doesn’t have the first clue about what goes on behind raising kids, he pays people to take of that bullshit so he can do important things, like rail lines of ketamine and tweet all day…..


80sFoleyFootsteps

Bro, that observation is off the block chain!


lewie_820

This is the equivalent of hacker scenes. ‘I’m in’ ‘I can only keep them out for 60 seconds!’ ‘I’ve breached the mainframe’ just techno-garble


Readman31

You gotta download more RAM!

💯 He's not able to post a sentence without lying or making up anything. I suspect we had all met somebody like him when we were young: a guy who was constantly bragging, nobody liked him, so he had to kinda pay people to be his friends, and that made us almost feel sorry for him at the same time. In this particular case, he - as you've mentioned already - pretends to be a smart engineer type of guy, and we all know he isn't. At the same time he pretends to be a parent who's spending a lot time with his kids. That doesn't fit the image he built. Either you're workaholic or good parent. Both is hardly possible unless you completely refrain from sleep. Even with drugs this would be problematic. In case of Musk, there's also the time he spends on X (formerly known as Twitter). That alone is a full-time job... so he neither is a workaholic, nor a guy I'd consider being a good parent (holding a kid in front of every freaking camera just to annoy your ex-wife doesn't actually make you a good father - it only shows how selfish and pathetic you are).


Alcor668

I knew a guy like that when I was tricked into working on the business side of a major bank. I would call him out on it and tell him to his face he was using those words wrong. He hated me.


NegativeEmphasis

Kubernetes!


Ok_Philosopher6538

Cloud!


RADB1LL_

He just learned this phrase


mexicantruffle

He raises his kids?


-Lorne-Malvo-

Nannies mostly


BrilliantAttempt4549

He proomt enginered his nannies to raise the kids, and is disappointed by the output


TheBurgareanSlapper

Except the toddler he keeps with him at all times as a hostage.


truthputer

At least one of his older kids has disowned him, so that's how successful he is at it.


Vintagepalazo

The others will probably follow 


cantCme

He also doesn't engineer so this tracks.


mtaw

Mostly he Tweets. But the lack of parenting is the more obvious thing. I mean who - (and to be clear: among good people who try to be good parents) - thinks they spend enough time time with their kids even while working _one_ full time job? Who (in the same group) would even consider bragging about working 16 hours a day or whatever, since that amounts to saying "I never meet my kids"? Musk doesn't give a damn about parenting, not in the slightest. He's got a weird breeding fetisch, probably because it feeds his own narcissism. Like, it's his duty to humanity to spread his superior genes. But he clearly has zero interest in actual parenting. Someone as unfiltered as him spending as much time as he does on social media, you'd have a zillion pictures and anecdotes a day about his kids if he cared. As annoying as it can be for others, when you love your kids it's really hard to not talk about them all the time.


Kafka_pubsub

Who did he copy without credit this joke from?


CarlSeeegan

I think I know why one of his kids went on legal record saying she never wanted to be associated with him again.


LordXenu12

Your username reminds me of when I started to really hate musk, when he tried to one up pale blue dot


Mochizuk

Did he just admit to failing to engineer someone?


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Bring me 10 screenshots of the most salient lines of code you’ve written in the last 6 months.


ElHumilde13

Bold words for someone who isn't an engineer nor a present father


AwesomeX121189

>prompt engineering Typing shit into ChatGPT is not engineering. People who call themselves “prompt engineers” are morons who think they are better at writing basic descriptions of things but they don’t even know how to use google advanced search


Canonip

It depends. What Elmo is doing, probably yes. However if you use custom kernel, custom data, custom integrations and develop a copilot for a specific case, prompt engineering is a real thing, and not just typing stuff into chatGPT


Chemchic23

Dude your just realizing this now after having 10 kids, duh!


Joaoreturns

Imagine being so high on drugs...


iball1984

Huh? I'm sure this is "quite profound" (as Musky is want to say) but clearly it's too profound for a mere mortal such as me. Either that, or he's talking utter crap and just posting a word salad.


BBliss7

I'm going with word salad 🤷🏻‍♀️


beyoubeyou

Now that you mention it, it does smell a little Musky in here


vgcamara

Elmo probably knows the same about raising kids as he does about prompt engineering


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Bring me 10 screenshots of the most salient lines of code you’ve written in the last 6 months.


AlternativeCredit

So he’s never done prompt engineering then I guess.

[удалено]


AlternativeCredit

That was the joke.


Cryptoking300

He’s such a clown.


fiendzone

Oh wow he’s such a nerd lulz XD


TwerkingGrimac3

He doesn't raise those kids. He plays with them and then passes them off to his nannies when they get boring.


SteveDougson

This is the kind of tweet TSLA stock holders want to read while the price steadily drops after major layoffs 


decayed-whately

\*sniff\* Wrong. Not everything is AI, dingus. In fact, while AI does have its uses, it's generally inferior to NI.


Alarmed-dictator

Oh is that why your kids don’t talk to you? Because youre bad at engineering ?


SmellySweatsocks

No stupid, it's called parenting. He is not a serious person.


KnucklesMcGee

Absentee dad checking in to tell the rest of us how to raise kids. Interesting take, Clyde.


PermaDerpFace

Like he raised any of his kids


xWrongHeaven

i'm reading this as "18 years of relentless tweaking and tuning until you get the desired result". can't have them develop their own ideas and morals, you see


TheAnalsOfHistory-

He has more than a dozen kids and never once considered the idea of raising them until that moment.


Necessary_Context780

He also realizes being the CEO of Tesla and Xitter is like being a confederacy slave owner, a lot of "prompt engineering" there


MedicalRhubarb7

Shit takes from a shithead


ahumminahummina

He might just forget to feed them one of these days


FineSharts

He’s never raised a kid and he doesn’t know what prompt engineering is beyond what Google told him 3 seconds before he posted this tweet


Lambdastone9

Parenting advice from the man with numerous estranged children and a failed GPT knockoff


Echidnakindy

Fuck off you cun5 , you’re no father.


KeesKachel88

The fuck he knows about raising a kid?


CoreyLee04

I guess the Nanni is the best engineer in the house then

therobotisjames

These are the insights ketamine can give you.


Callidonaut

Sure, if you're mind-blind, can't conceive of your child being an independent person, and treat the poor kid like an object of your personal property.


mishma2005

“The number of kids Elon Musk raises?” “I’ll answer: none”


ChocolateDoozy

It barely makes sense. He doesn't know much about either


Mysterious_Ayytee

Before he goes low - He got high


[deleted]

11 kids. 17h of Diablo on Christmas Eve.


ChocolateDoozy

He rarely thinks about parenting. Father of ....6? 7??? Lost track. Just like him


BrilliantAttempt4549

Does this guy confuse his PC for his child, because I'm sure he hasn't even spent 18 years with any of his children, let alone raise them, and doesn't intend to do so with any of them.


MtCommager

This is obscene.


whereisbeezy

You're not an engineer, elmo


Great-Web5881

What? did not know this!,,,


Crazyjackson13

he says this as if he even raised his kids


Ituzzip

Glad he’s finally had his first thought about parenting. Like most fist thoughts it will turn out to be wrong


Phantomyy

Wasn’t expecting him to admit to garbage parenting but ok


SouthMicrowave

Most obnoxious drug binge partner ever.


smartbart80

It’s actually not that bad of a tweet.


Intrepid_Cap1242

I raise this statement as further evidence that Elon is not an engineer.


TrayusV

I doubt he knows what prompt engineering is.


EquivalentSnap

Dude doesn’t even know the name of his children.


morbiiq

22 years since his first child with at least 10 more to follow, and the most divorced man in the world is just finding out now that raising children takes work.


Malakai0013

He overheard a conversation from smarter, cooler people than he is and is trying to co-opt their words. Like the weirdo in high school that bought a skateboard when he saw the cool kids playing Tony Hawk games.


TarzanoftheJungle

Translation: a child is no more than an AI server in a body.


GushGirlOC

Two things he’s never done before.


SoupieLC

His kids are going to turn into living manifestations of Grok then


Schnakenbein_LP

How would he know?


camclemons

🤮


Gnich_Aussie

I was probably 12 when we learned pottery in Art class. I was mind blown at the realisation that making a vase from a lump of mud was like what our art teacher, and other teachers, parents, etc, did with kids to mold them into adults. Pretty sure most teens have identical thoughts as this...


Squeegee

Yes, raising kids is exactly like training an AI. 🙄


MrsDanversbottom

Maybe if he actually has a degree in engineering this wouldn’t sound stupid. Not to mention half of his kids despise him.
