Plausibility should, however, not be sufficient to believe that something is true. There's not enough there, there yet.
@eloquence agree, though a) the stuff about #ElizaOS is compelling and b) i've seen other credible poeple prior to this talking about Elon using bots to pump #TSLA on Twitter. i may have even seen the proof.
It's plausible, but nothing that Eliza does is fundamentally novel; character.ai has been in that business since 2022, including with similar "character definitions". I created some myself when the product came out. There have apparently been 20K chats with my "Carl Sagan" bot since I created it. :)
Do I think that Elon did more than what's known, which is already bad enough? Absolutely. But I'd have to see more evidence for the specific claims by Mr. Bird to believe them.
