Elon: The actual number of moves that are not utterly stupid in chess is tiny and chess will be fully solved one day
Chess.com: Skill issue
Elon: Chess is hard for humans, but not for computers. One day, it will be fully solved like checkers. Between now and then, or even after, have fun. People enjoy may games/sports where machines are vastly better.
Chess.com: There are more possible chess games, by about 40 order of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you’d have to map them all. Good luck.
Elon: Wrong, all legal chess positions are ~40 ooms less than the estimated atoms in the Universe. And ASI will figure out ways to solve and compress that are far beyond what we could possibly comprehend. (Here I am arguing with some random intern at a chess website)
Chess.com: I’m a full-time employee
Elon: (something-emoji)
Chess.com: Even my friends don’t text me back that fast

“Even my friends don’t text me back that fast” is a wonderful insult.
Our lad just starched the richest man in the world in his own office.
straight up baking soda’d his ass
Laid down the diatomaceous earth around the perimeter.
When I read that line I audibly whispered
”god damn dude”
I verbally oofed
Elon wouldn’t know
So I guess Elon tried to get into chess because it’s a smart people hobby, got demolished, and now is having a sour grapes moment.
Probably also paid others to play for him like with his stupid video games, he’s fucking pathetic.
I would be curious what his highest chess.com raing is. I got to 1650 once, a middling score, more often in the 1500s but don’t play much now.
1650 a middling score?
cries in 800 elo
Are you on chess.com though or the other one, they have a different lower rating system I think, lichess.com I think the latter might even be non profit but I still used chess.com because I was already there when I learned that.
It’s not middling, it’s an early-advanced rating. For perspective, an Elo differential of 400 implies 10:1 win:loss odds.
1650+ is about the top 40% of chess.com players (say 5%, not all humans).
Pluck a random off the street and your 800 will beat 19 out of 20.
It’s okay bro, I’ve been practicing getting better at chess for like 10 years now and I’m still 1100. Chess is fucking hard.
Very much a tommy talerico mentality but somehow musky got the luck
I have been a full ass adult the entire time twitter has existed and I still don’t fucking understand how the thread structure works.
Oh good I thought I was the only one having an aneurysm reading from top to bottom
When you reply to a tweet, the reply is displayed underneath the tweet you’re replying to, so the thread structure normally is from the top down like you would expect. Unfortunately, some people, like the one running the chess account, habitually use retweets/quote tweets instead of replies, which are displayed above the original tweet (with the original tweet indented to the right). This messes up the thread structure.
But for the people doing that it puts their comment first. If there was a better metaphor for shitting all over a commonly agreed upon standard that works well for everyone so you can be at the front then I can’t really think of it.
Its been nearly a decade since I’ve used twitter, but iirc you use a quote retweet so it shows for your followers. If you just reply, and they don’t follow the OP, then it doesn’t show in their feeds
I agree, and don’t get me started on the clusterfuck that is Discord. How the fuck do you navigate that abomination of a GUI?
Want to add a friend? No fucking idea where the button is.
Want to call a friend? No fucking idea how.
And God forbid that you want go create a group call.
Same. And because it sucks I don’t open it often, so wverytime I do have to open it for some stupid reason (somebody sent me something and probably told me to go there to get it) it goes through several minutes of updates and popups bragging about it.
The guy who pays people to play video games for him so he can fail at pretending he played himself in a “Hello, fellow kids” moment is pretending to be smart again? Wild.
wtf is the order one is supposed to read this in?
Something I’ll never understand about twitter. Maybe it was more readable before the nazi took it over?
It was always that unintuitive.
Twitter threads have never made any fucking sense.
Month-day-year social media format
The person who put three screenshot together would have gained so much respect to me if they just took 5 extra seconds to paste it in reading order.
Twitter-brained people think being Twitter-brained is the default.
2, 1, 3, 5, 4, 6, 8, 7, 9, 10, of course, silly! 😝
Hope this actually helps someone read it quicker though
Middle (thing being rexeeted), top (rexeet caption), bottom (reply). Repeat for each screenshot.
uhh, parentheses first i guess
Fibonacci
*Fibonazi
elon musk is literally https://xkcd.com/1112/
Goal is to NOT be checkmated, so you should always move your pieces towards your king.
Found the fortress player.
That’s way too accurate, lol.
He’s so insecure about his own intelligence.
Imagine being the richest man alive and your whole existence is being envious of other people’s abilities.
Entirely self inflicted. He’s been wealthy all his life. He could have learned any skill or hobby.
Or just shut the fuck up and not realized the reality of how stupid he really is.
Elon Musk is the personification of a moron’s hallucination of a genius.
He such and irredeemable dumbass.
thats the ketamine, cocaine and dom perrignon talking.
Even my friends don’t text me back so fast
Lmaooooo love that reply 🤣
What is ASI? Adolescent Sexualised Imagery?
Artificial Super Intelligence.
I’m a ssSUPER! Thanks for asssking!
If it’s made by Elon Musk’s company then these are the same picture.
See, right now we have Not Artificial Super Intelligence. Or NASI.
Artificial sentient intelligence maybe
I feel like the whole point of this stunt (even if it backfired on him) was to introduce ASI as the next goal for investors.
Ass shit iguana
Aging Smarmy Idiot, Elon is the model
Elon Musk doesn’t understand complex systems? Colour me I already knew that.
*color, not col our.
Colour is british english. :)
AKA “English”.
“Color” is Simplified English.
Ah, but since far more people speak “Simplified” English then it should become the new “Just” English 😂 British English can be “Complexified English.”
You sure about that?
Clue: Yankees are FAR from a majority of English speakers.
2nd Clue: India, Pakistan, Nigeria…
*collar, not col or.
For 25% of English speakers that live in the the United States, sure. For the vast majority it is colour.
Literal proof that the rich ARE MORONS.
I don’t think most rich people are like Elon Musk. He is one of the few that wastes his time trying to prove he doesn’t have a small dick.
I don’t think most rich people are like Elon Musk.
No, some of them are like Donald Trump or Peter Theil.
Reminder he was such a loser he couldn’t even get invited to epstein island
I think the opposite. I think Musk is actually one of the smartest rich guys. Not that I think Musk is smart, but most of these fuckers seem even stupider.
Like Musk has actually moved tech forward… not because he has any particularly unique insights, just because all the other rich guys were scared of electric cars.
What tech did he move forward? He bought paypal, he bought tesla and he bought space-x. All his ideas end up badly.
At best he is another Steve Jobs (marketing guy), he was for awhile but I think the mask went off when he began to believe he was the Messiah.
One of the reason’s they are super rich is because they are morons
I wonder how true that actually is? I generally subscribe to the theory that you have to do some horrible shit to a lot of people to hit 1billion. With that comes the automatic assumption that Billionaires are corrupt people. But I wonder how much of it is sheer stupidity blinding them to the damage that they reek on everyone else.
I think reason why ultrarich can be called dumb is their lack of introspection.
They don’t waste time thinking “How does this affect other people?” or “Why do I want to be rich?” or else they wouldn’t have spent decades relentlessly grinding in a rat race.
You also have to be very delusional and take massive gambles to get rich. It worked out for Gates or Musk, yes, but its a survivorship bias. Lots of other psychotic people have lost all by chasing the next big thing like AI-powered startups or NFTs.
Although I would surely not claim all ultrarich people are dumb, because I haven’t seen any, nor have research to back this up.
With that comes the automatic assumption that Billionaires are corrupt people.
It’s impossible to become a billionaire without some severely sociopathic character flaws.
So he just saw “40 orders of magnitude” and decided that just happened to be the same number he needed to make his point (just going the other way).
Lol ok.
Legitimate question; does he know what an order of magnitude is?
No, he clearly does not.
Chess will never be solved because there’s like a gajillion billion moves, probbaly more moves in a chess game than goku has power points when he goes like super duper saiyan
Willing to wager he’s orders of magnitude smarter than you, just sayin’
Ok;
This is the observable universe.
Not the entire universe, which we have no idea how large it is.
So the observable universe has 10^80 atoms or so. The number of possible moves in all possible chess games is supposed to be around 10^120. That number is called the “Shannon Number.”
yeah but how many of those moves are not stupid as hell, like my moves
Whether a move is stupid or not is Irrelevant.
You do need to remove the impossible positions, like pawns on rank 1
Removing stupid moves eliminates a lot of unnecessary to compute gamestates no?
No it doesn’t, you still need to know how to counter a stupid move
A mathematical model to solve chess would still need to recognise the move, calculate the advantage and disadvantage of the move and then discard. An algorithm would still need to do this for every move if it’s to be a compleat model.
Wouldn’t advantage and disadvantage just be a heuristic that’s useful for feasibly making computers that can win games of chess against humans, but by usual definitions of solved games, I’m not sure it would be useful? You’d still need a decision tree for every possible move the opponent makes for any state of the board.
So the chess.com account was right: 120 - 80 = ~40 oom
The man with the Large Paedophilia Model can’t even solve himself.
