Elon Musk has launched a new AI company called xAI with the goal of understanding the true nature of the universe. The team at xAI includes AI researchers who have worked at companies like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and DeepMind. Little is known about xAI currently except that Musk seeks funding from SpaceX and Tesla to start it. The xAI team plans to host a Twitter Spaces discussion on July 14th to introduce themselves. xAI is separate from Musk’s X Corp but will work closely with his other companies like Tesla and Twitter.

Can’t wait to stop hearing about this clown. He did the worst thing possible; made people switch to facebook again.
“TruthGPT”, lol. Is that what you get when your training data set is 4chan and Gab posts?

so what really happened is that he did everything they asked, censored Erdogan’s opponents until after the election, and any “fighting for free speech” he’s doing now is secondary to the tremendous damage he’s already done.
There’s a very specific type of “free speech” that he’s fighting for.
conservatives only ever fight for themselves. the last time an ethical principle and a conservative were in the same room the conservative was eisenhower.
Given that all of the existing “AI” models are in fact not intelligent at all, and are basically glorified predictive text… any insights an AI could come up with about the true nature of the universe would likely be like one of those sayings that initially sounds deep and meaningful, but is in fact completely inane and meaningless. Calling it now: it’ll come out with “if you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago”.

There’s a term for that:
Thank you! I love that there’s a actually a term for it!
AI coming up with sayings of that type is something already being done ( https://inspirobot.me/ ). Youtube reaction videos exist referring to that site (like “Ai Generates Hilarious Motivational Posters” by jacksepticeye).
Somebody should tell Musk there’s already an AI that can determine the “true nature of the universe”, so he doesn’t need to waste his money. Inspirobot seems to have done it already. 😀
Tried it, the quote was “A hermaphrodite can also be a cop”. I’m truly inspired
I’d like to see evidence that he understands literally any other, smaller component of the universe first.

How many roads must a man walk down?
What is 6 times 7?
Sorry for the inconvenience.
From the look of the team, it looks like they’re struggling to understand women nevermind the universe…
How has he not been forced out of Tesla yet? Does he spend any time with them at all?
According to a friend of mine that is an employee, he shows up every now and then to throw a fit and go on firing-sprees.
A true seagull manager.
Your second question answers your first. The more he leaves Tesla alone, the better for them. It’s probably pretty hard to determine how much having his name associated with Tesla is hurting the company vs how much it would help/hurt to get rid of him, but if he’s attached but absent, it’s very much a “devil you know” situation.
understand the true nature of the universe
This sounds like a line from some kind of cult
What an absolute moron
Hired a bunch of dudes that he pays to hang around with and feel smart.
His ego must be smarting after the Twitter debacle
Who did he buy this one from?
Heard about this earlier… on Mastodon.
I think “working closely” with Twitter might not be such an advantage.
If the AI doesn’t determine Musk is super smart and the most important person in the observable univserse, he’s gonna throw such a tantrum.
Musk starts AI company, names it after his child
What an idiot
