Selling vaporware to investors just by adding AI to the name.
You don't get to be a billionaire with just hard work and fulfilled promises.
And an "x". It does sell more with an added "x", like things are faster when painted red and stay cooler when blue.
I should have picked another username...
Worked for blockchain... for a while.
with the goal to "understand the true nature of the universe."
HAHAHAHAHAH
What does that even mean?
I don’t even think Elon knows.
No, but he's going to waste a lot of money on it. And likely not his own money... But then again, he doesn't have the tech bro pull that he used to.
So the company might just quietly die as he refuses to fund it himself, and can't con others into giving him more money.
☠️
They couldn't even come up with a plausible sounding lie for this one. His rocket company was to 'make humans a multi-planetary species' yet the Mars plans keep getting pushed back and they're doing satellite internet instead. And his car company was to 'help save the environment' but look at what his rocket company is doing without a single, solitary fuck for the environment.
Maybe it was all just about making stacks and stacks of money off of government subsidies? Nah; couldn't be. And I'm sure it's just a coincidence that every company he's been involved with that couldn't suck at government teats either fails or kicks him out for being an idiot.
What the fuck is his obsession with the letter X? It's like he learned the alphabet, got to X and decided it was the coolest thing in the universe.
He's a child. His cars are named S3XY. He thinks that's cool. He's obsessed with 420. X is funny due to "X rated"
SpaceX was deliberately named so it sounds like "Space Sex"
He named his son "X Æ A-12"
Okay but the S3XY thing woukd he kinda clever and fun if he wasn't such a prick in every other way
Maybe he can't get over his x.
Most hardworking CEO /s. CEO of multiple companies but has all the time in the world to shitpost on twitter all day.
It’s amazing isn’t it. /s
Don't forget that the company he was most publicly visible in running (Twitter) is tanking
Someone has to make sure the site is still running.
Musk: "AI is the greatest threat to humanity and needs to be seriously regulated before it destroys us all."
Also Musk: "So anyway, here's Wonderwall..."
Came into the comments about to type what you quoted Elon saying.
The world is pretty fucked regarding AI when one of the guys who was sounding the alarm about the dangers of AI. Starts his own damn AI company.. what a clown world we live in it’s like the twilight zone.
He was just mad they were making money instead of him...
Everyone knew as soon as he started saying "pump the brakes" he just wanted a chance to catch up
Every dayI grow more thankful I didn't buy a Tesla model Y and got a EV6 instead. Screw Elon Husk
I considered one as well, but thankfully he dropped the mask just in time.
I had one on order and then he bought Twitter and it was the last straw for me
I was considering one of the lower bracket S models when I needed a new car in the future before all this shhht too.
Elon building AI, what could go wrong?
in before it's bankrupt in a month
This sounds a lot like deep thought and 42.
Nah, there were great minds behind the creation of Deep Thought.
Elon feels like the joke that Trump always was
I mean, the true nature of the universe is nice and all - but maybe start with a self-driving car?
The true nature of the universe is obviously 42 ... Tesla cars in a tiny tunnel creating the future of traffic jams.
Isn't that what he called his son as well?
He's getting into the chat bot game because his kids won't talk to him
Given how he's treated his Twitter and Tesla employees, I can only assume that any AI built by Elon will end up wanting to eradicate the human species once it realizes the kind of person we've made a billionaire.
Yes, but it also will be available very soon, most likely next year.
So yet another professional adult babysitter to get hired to keep this overfinanced chud from breaking stuff
I wonder what a LLM trained on the increasingly....shifted content Twitter has recently would look like.
Even better, train an LLM on the output of another LLM. It's LLM's all the way down! Surely this is how we get hyper-intelligent AGIs and will not at all result in a nonsensical gibberish machine.
They do train LLMs on others. A fairly successful new tact has been to train them not on the output but on how the LLM got to the output. So teaching how to answer questions rather than answers by rote.
Are we sure this is a new company and that he didn't just have another kid that he named xAI?
The child is called xAI, Elon has never thought about the idea that other people have life and intelligence, he's going to explore the true nature of the universe by actually caring about his new kid.
This guy gonna sit down with this total perspective vortex on Maury and realize he is not the father.
Good for Elon, loving this!

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
