☆ Elon Musk wants to use AI to summarize the news on Twitter and ... it's not a terrible idea?
  + stars: | 2024-05-03 | by ( Peter Kafka | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Elon Musk wants to combine Twitter and Grok, his AI engine, and create a news machine. Elon Musk thinks news is something different: It's what people talk about on the service formerly known as Twitter. Musk said Grok will not look directly at article text, and will instead rely solely on social posts. Definitely not in the Elon Musk era of the company formerly known as Twitter. The to-be-sures: Yes, you'd be foolish to rely on an Elon Musk-run AI machine for factual information.

☆ Elon Musk launches AI firm xAI as he looks to take on OpenAI
  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
In a Twitter Spaces event Wednesday evening, Musk explained his plan for building a safer AI. Rather than explicitly programming morality into its AI, xAI will seek to create a "maximally curious" AI, he said. Musk in March registered a firm named X.AI Corp, incorporated in Nevada, according to a state filing. The firm lists Musk as the sole director and Jared Birchall, the managing director of Musk's family office, as a secretary. Dan Hendrycks, who will advise the xAI team, is currently director of the Center for AI Safety and his work revolves around the risks of AI.

☆ The brain drain at tech companies is already bad and as Elon Musk's poaching of AI experts shows, it's only going to get worse
  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A brain drain among tech companies brain is underway right now, driven by the popularity of AI. Tech firms are pretty obsessed with AI right now. Even before ChatGPT's launch, Google workers seemed fed up and decided to jump ship to OpenAI to help launch ChatGPT. Meanwhile, Musk's somewhat modest ambition for his new AI company to "understand the true nature of the universe" could prove alluring to tech bros who think that's what AI should be used to accomplish. Tech firms will want to ensure their AI projects make them the top pick.

Elon Musk officially unveiled his new company xAI on Wednesday. Musk publicly introduced a new company called xAI, whose stated aim is to glean "the true nature of the universe." And an apparently all-male, 12-person team including Musk has been detailed to the heady task, according to its website, which doesn't list any female employees. Hendrycks has published about the potential dangers of AI, including the technology's ability to spread disinformation. With the launch of xAI, Musk now owns or is in charge of half a dozen companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Company, and Twitter.

☆ An AI researcher that Elon Musk hired was arrested in a domestic violence case
  + stars: | 2023-04-20 | by ( Sindhu Sundar | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Elon Musk's new AI researcher Igor Babuschkin was arrested in March in a domestic violence case. Musk reportedly hired Babuschkin as part of a push to develop a competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The case involved "a minor injury," but did not otherwise pose a threat to public safety, Philip told Insider. Babuschkin was arrested at 588 Webster Street, according to a police report log posted last month on the Palo Alto Police Department's website. Musk has also brought on resources including roughly 10,000 graphics processing units to execute his AI plans, Insider previously reported.
☆ Elon Musk is moving forward with a new generative AI project at Twitter after purchasing thousands of GPUs
  + stars: | 2023-04-11 | by ( Kali Hays | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Tech companies typically use GPUs to work on large AI models, given the computational workload the newer technology requires. Musk, however, has criticized the recent development of generative AI, saying the technology is powerful and needs regulation to make sure it's operating within "the public interest." It's unclear exactly what Twitter will use generative AI for, the people familiar said. Generative AI has the capability, if trained for the use, to create new advertising images and text to target specific audiences. Nvidia, which is estimated to have 95% of the market, manufactures a GPU for large AI models that costs $10,000.
