Because they have a brand reputation and all the (recent) words coming out of Elon, his media platform, and his AI are shit and people don't like them and it would conflict with Apple's brand image - they don't even let movie villains use iPhones and you think they'd put the potty mouthed, anti-science pro-fascism LLM he's trying to make onto their phones?
I dunno, why wouldn't you want an LLM trained by a company whose owner keeps inviting child pornographers and neo-Nazis to post? What could possibly go wrong?
Please do show me where he explicitly invited child pornographers. Go ahead, link me to the specific place where he said that. I want to see what he said word for word.
Can't make decision for myself. Article doesn't contain picture in question or a link to a tweet or anything of that nature. Given that current internet narrative is neurotic and even smallest questions are blown out of proportions I tend to think that offence was not that big, otherwise FBI would request IP address of the guy and put him in jail (much better outcome then "ban his twitter account")
