Another challenger to OpenAI? OK, we'll allow it With so much uncertainty and hype surrounding artificial intelligence today, it's about time someone reliable, credible, and brilliant stepped forward. Thus imagine our delight when that person turned out to be Elon Musk. On Wednesday the SpaceX multibillionaire, who helped found OpenAI in 2015, launched machine-learning …
Musk is going to find out just how expensive recruiting top flight, highly sought after talent can get when you’ve very publicly screwed your employees.
I doubt very much that many will be interested without a good slug of equity. Options aren’t attractive if you are likely to be fired on a whim.
VC spending in two areas is up, in AI and Defence .... Brandon Vigliarolo
And whenever Elon kickstarts the/an AIDefence Industrial Complex, and Internetworking Conglomerate Bodies to be remotely invisibly led by Relatively Anonymous, Practically Autonomous Virtualised IDEntities .... IntelAIgently Designed Entities?
Would that be a veritable diamond mine of a novel operation with a license to endlessly generate/print and spend money?
The posit here is that it most definitely is. However, YMMV, and render you at a significant debilitating disadvantage and subject to suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous missed fortunes rather than being armed by them for almighty remote protections against a vast sea of troubles and by effectively opposing, end them?
And can you imagine the new where and practical what happens whenever AIDefence Industrial Complexes and Internetworking Conglomerate Bodies to be remotely invisibly led by Relatively Anonymous, Practically Autonomous Virtualised IDEntities .... IntelAIgently Designed Entities .... are not a Wacky Wild Western Alliance Treat and Existential Threat?
Methinks then does a quite natural program migration for foreign and alien engagement to deliver an Almighty Erotic and Exotic and Esoteric Confection as a Prime Premium Eastern Delight for Western consumption and financing result.
And what do you think? Where is IT and AI presently at with particular regard to that very peculiarly fundamental matter?
Where be mainly responsible for such leading works in progress producing traction and attracting investment/monied markets support/ponzi and unicorn interest?
* ... Or vice versa, of course.
@MrAptronym: “One aspect of Musk's activities that has been overlooked is how dumb the name "X Corp" is. This is some YA cyberpunk company naming. He clearly thinks it sounds cool and keeps coming back to the name.”
Was cool enough for ‘Y Combinator’ and Z is already taken, Zoho, Zoom, ZS, Zimmer Biomet, Zé Delivery
.
The name was picked by an AI that was hallucinating after six martinis and some California pot. Its first choice had been 'Zembledorsky's Automatic Computing Machine Corporation International' but the name wouldn't fit on the side of a truck so they nixed that and demanded a name that was sexy in an AI-generated porn sort of way.
