Elon Musk on Wednesday announced the formation of a new company focused on artificial intelligence, after months of teasing plans to build a rival to ChatGPT.

The company, called x.AI, unveiled a website and a team of a dozen staffers. The new company will be led by Musk, according to the website, and “will work closely with X (Twitter), Tesla, and other companies to make progress towards our mission.”

    In an interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson in April, Musk said teased plans for his new AI venture. “We’re going to start something which I call TruthGPT,” he said, describing it as a “maximum truth-seeking AI” that “cares about understanding the universe.”

    Sigh. When did this guy turn into a clown?

    How many companies can one person effectively run at a time? Doesn’t Musk also have smaller companies like Boring and Solar City to manage, on top of giants like Tesla and SpaceX?

    Given the fuss he made about OpenAI being closed source (a case of broken clocks), it will be interesting to see if this is open source (doubt)

    If he was funding it and putting someone that knows what they are doing in charge, that would be one thing.
