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.” According to this site.

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.

To fully solve chess you wouldn’t necessarily have to model every possible game situation; it might also be possible to discover an algorithm that provably can achieve at least a draw no matter what.

What? Checkers is “solved” ?

Elon Musk doesn’t understand complex systems? Colour me I already knew that.

I don’t know what he has against chess, but this is like the 3rd time I’ve seen him try to convince everyone that it’s pointless because of computers.

Being able to solve checkers doesn’t mean people will stop enjoying playing checkers. It is true that chess could be solved, although you don’t really need to brute force every single possibility ‘by hand’ as that guy implied, but it won’t mean people will stop playing it

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.

I don’t know much about chess and how it works in professional stage, but even i know whatever that musk spout from his mouth are complete arrogance and bs

Elon Musk is the personification of a moron’s hallucination of a genius.

I think some people don’t understand what a pastime is. I don’t care if someone solves chess just like I don’t care if someone uses AI to generate an image. I play chess to play it. I make art to make it. The doing is the point of it.

Your caption is wrong: “text me,” not “text be.” Additionally, it’s not an unknown emoji; 😮💨 is a sighing emoji.

I knew Melon Husk was a moron years ago. Just before the release of the Cyberdumpster, he had made an off-the-cuff statement about the quality of said vehicle as “having a tolerance of plus or minus five microns”. At the time I worked for a company that made power train parts for all kinds of different makes and models of cars. specifically, I made what’s known as a “spider”, a type of gear that allows for flexibility at the joint: the part under the protective “boot” if you’ve ever glanced under a car. My job was running the machine that cuts the splines on the spider that makes it fit on the shaft. Even the smallest of spiders have an I.D. (inner diameter) tolerance of plus or minus fifteen microns. I knew by Melon Head’s comment that he either didn’t know what the fuck a micron was, or just thought it would make him sound smart because nobody else did. This was back when he was at the height of his popularity, before he got involved with the orange Pedo-in-Chief and started throwing Nazi gang signs. L’m glad that the Cyberdumpster was/is such a failure; those things are ugly as fuck. On the other hand, I hate that the rest of us will have to foot the bill for his fuck-ups.

Why does he have no problem just denying the Chess.com interns premise, when it is correct and he can google it??? Why did Mr Musk not google before blatantly lying??

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.

I love how everyone here is like “hur hur, Elon is a moron” (and of course he is). But in the end they’re just talking around each other. And are both right it seems. The number of atoms in the universe is about 10^80. The number of possible games (which the chess.com guy was talking about) was once estimated to be about 10^120 (so 40 magnitudes larger). The number of possible positions is currently estimated at about 10^40 positions (so about 40 magnitudes smaller). In the end i’d say positions is more important in solve a game than ways to get to those positions. For each position you need to know the perfect next move. But Elon not noticing he’s talking about something different than the Chess.com guy is… intriguing XD.

Makes me remember the news a decade ago that went like “Elon Musk the genius billionaire who reads rocket science books to take us all to Mars”. Yeah he probably did read them, without really understanding details, so that he could throw around technical words to impress people. It worked for a short while but he wasn’t clever enough to keep his stupid ideas to him so he exposed himself basically.

“Even my friends don’t text me back that fast” is a wonderful insult.
