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.

Heard about this earlier… on Mastodon.

I think “working closely” with Twitter might not be such an advantage.

Can’t wait to stop hearing about this clown. He did the worst thing possible; made people switch to facebook again.

I’d like to see evidence that he understands literally any other, smaller component of the universe first.
