More evidence of being mad at being bad at chess:
I suspect the problem he has with chess is that you have to commit. I spent way too long reading an article somewhere a while back about how he plays Polytopia; basically he’ll start a game, play a few turns until he knows if he has an easy win or not, then just restart if he doesn’t. Similar to how he does everything in life, he has enough resources to just keep throwing shit at the wall until something sticks, then calls it a win. Apparently he plays poker the same way, just goes all in and buys more chips when he loses. Symptomatic of a person who’s never had to face real life consequences for anything.
Me restarting Balatro runs until I get a good start
But wait! There’s more!
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.
Literally zero self-awarness, zero self-control, and zero self-respect lol
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.
This is why I always start with Bongcloud. You never know when it might pay off
This mofo is delusional
Low ELOn Musk
Affirmations: “i may only be 700 elo, but at least the worlds richest man is worse than me 😌”
what’s the ableist word, is it “stupid”?
Yes
i see, i’m just gonna say i disagree with it being ableist cus it’s not in like 99%+ of cases
It’s a hexbear rule
are you sure? it doesn’t seem like the rules are referring to such a harmless every day word
You might not have been here for the whole discussion of it, but yes I’m sure
yeah i wasn’t. seems very ridiculous to me, but i’ll believe you
Elon cannot fathom a game where there is a level playing field. He can only win games where he’s given a strategic advantage right from the get-go.
And even then he’ll fuck it up somehow.
He’s the type who pays to win and still loses
From what I read, he literally payed other just to get him higher on the leaderboards
bronze Torb main
He also sucks ass at Elden Ring lmao
Heavy Armor build with no Endurance, boosting Intelligence but not Mind
My partner who does not normally play Souls-style games figured it out in fifteen minutes
And she only played the game because you get a horse in it
Casual-FromSoft player horse girl partner go on Chapo
She might, we’re making inroads to her running for public office
She’s got my illegal votes
Don’t forget carrying two shields.
I miss the days of power-stancing the two special tower shields in Dark Souls 2. Hardly viable, but gods was it goofy looking and fun.
And two staves!
Which only works when you’re already leveled up and have spells to take advantage of the different bonuses
Chess is a simple game.
“A designer has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
Tiny fraction of a huge number is still a huge number, more at 12
I love that he could just do whatever he wants to fix this problem, he could just not let hit bother him, or if he is too insecure about being bad at chess, he could hire a chess tutor to teach him how to get really good at it, or hell, he could even just hire someone to get a really high ELO on Chess.com and he can pretend he did that.
Instead he spends his time whining on twitter about how Chess is actually really bad you guys and only dumb people play it. It’s practically a guarantee that he will take the cringiest and most pathetic option every time.
If this isn’t a joke, then that’s just sad
He’s excited about Chess being solved because it might mean that White always wins against Black
I mean, imagine his reaction of they did solve it and it turns out that black can always win
: The computers we used to solve chess are simply not racist enough yet
He needs to accidentally tag in his mom’s sockpuppet account for an Oedipus Gambit
chess will be fully solved one day
Damn, check out mister
over here, wowEveryone knows that Chess can be solved, humanity could very likely do it already - if we organized for it, but who cares?
What an unbelievably sad man.
People still play checkers. A game being solved barely means anything unless you’re playing against a machine (or you’re playing tic tac toe)
