> The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe. Who wants to bet it's going to end up launching a "me too" generative AI product. Maybe Musk should first take these skills to Tesla's self driving division then worry about the rest of the universe.
"Below is a conversation between an intelligent AI assistant which deeply understands the true nature of the universe, and a human."
An AI made to "understand the true nature of the universe"... Not a word about physics, or mention of physicists in the team and this is led by Elon Musk, the man who think he can send persons to Mars by 2029. This looks so promising.
also a man who built monopoly on launches to space
I can’t tell what this company does. Does anyone know?
> The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe. That is.. a bit vague ? What is the purpose, and what does it have to do with AI ? Why launch such a teaser without announcing the (actual) goal ? They cannot really think that they will be able to understand "the true nature of the universe" ?
We're talking about it, right?
Musk has all the money in the world, but it seems to me that what he really wants, if he cannot have your love and respect, is your attention.
"Our team is led by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX." the same Elon Musk who dropped 44bn on Twitter and fought like a child to weasel out of the sale for almost six months? You mean that same sink-dragging guy who fired everyone once he took over at Twitter, locked everyone out of the office, and unbanned Andrew Tate and Kanye West? People still let this guy "lead" anything?
Five years ago, I would have leapt at this. Today, there's no way I'd want to be anywhere near a Musk-based tech company.
Yeah, I'm not going anywhere near this. Musk had the world beating a path to his door, until he outed himself as a petulant man-child and a fascist.
Wasn't X.ai a calendar-scheduling assistant back when non-LLM-based chatbots were, like, a hot thing in the Valley? There's some fucked up irony here that their domain name probably ended up being their most valuable piece of IP, and it gets bought up by Elon Musk to tout his...whatever the fuck this is.
I wonder why Elon didn't use his x.com domain though, it's still sitting there.
Understanding the true nature of intelligence would be a good start, and also a better fit for a company with AI in its name.

8 years ago, wasn't Musk doing this with OpenAI?
