Elon Musk has just taken a huge step in realizing his vision of a “maximum truth-seeking AI,” to eventually replace ChatGPT with xAI as the pinnacle of generative artificial intelligence.
Elon Musk merged Twitter with a shell firm, X Corp, in April. Tesla and Twitter CEOs developed a dedicated xAI website.
Remember that Elon Musk has been utilizing the X branding for his goal of an “everything app” modeled after Tencent’s WeChat. Musk explained his AI vision in an exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson in April 2023, when he stated that he was working on a generative artificial intelligence model that would attempt to understand the nature of the universe and, thus, would be unlikely to “annihilate humans.”
When it comes to specifics, the xAI team is fairly diverse, with members hailing from DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Research, Microsoft Research, Tesla, and the University of Toronto. Furthermore, the CEOs of Tesla and Twitter have already purchased around 10,000 GPUs from NVIDIA to train a Large Language Model (LLM) following the pattern of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Of course, even as Elon Musk takes on the might of ChatGPT with his xAI venture, he is threatening Meta’s recent Twitter-like service, Threads, with a lawsuit. Musk believes Meta utilized former Twitter employees to develop a clone.
To prove this claim in court, Elon Musk’s legal team must show two things: that Meta informed former Twitter employees that they were employed to construct a clone and that Meta purposefully acquired control of Twitter’s trade secrets.
