Did I say “worthless coward?” That was a weird slip of the tongue. What I meant to say was “incompetent ninny.”
Incompetent ninny, Elon Musk, announced this week that he’s starting “xAI” - a competitor to ChatGPT. Reminder: Elon was actually on the board of OpenAI way back when and left after he lost a power struggle in what can only be described as a brisk and embarrassing fashion.
This new company has a mission to “understand the true nature of the universe,” which is 1- noble, 2- deeply philosophical and doesn’t require computers, and 3- not going to make any money, which is in line with all of Elon’s other ventures that don’t include government funding.
I guess what I’m saying is, I really don’t like Elon Musk, and since he can’t grab cash from the government’s pockets on this thing, I’m certain that this is going to fail. What was the question again?
