      There’s something really ironic about the man who’s the CEO of all these companies arguing with people on Twitter all day long, but he assumes anyone running a corporate Twitter account is just an intern and not an actual PR employee.

      Filtering out what is and isn’t nonsensical moves is part of why chess remains unsolved. Specifically, 3,000+ elo engines seemingly make nonsensical moves, especially during the early and midgame, only for those moves to turn into a win 50~80 moves down the line. Some of the best players in the history of the game, whether it’s Kasperov or Carlson, can only do 10 to maybe 15 moves ahead. Sometimes 20 if the boardstate is simple enough or well known (like the Evans Gambit or Sicilian Defense).

      40+ moves ahead is just insane, going so far beyond human intuition. Scientists and players alike have been studying these lines, trying to understand how engines came up with these plays. So for Musk to dismiss chess when he thinks AI/Grok is the future is him telling on himself how easily bruised his ego is.
