Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.

In case anybody is wondering why he's making a big deal out of it.

As to why emoji feels the need to make his own "anti-woke" AI, it's because he thinks that, at some point in the future, our AI overlords will decide to cull white people to meet "forced diversity quotas." I'm not kidding.

Ah yes, his legendary anti-woke ai

I love how he can't even bigot right.

It's cause he's not the one who's actually making these things. He's just the guy who provides money to make these things.

P.S. if someone could invent a predictive text algo that can distinguish between cause and cuz, that would actually be an amazing innovation. /rant

It must drive him nuts that he's actually incapable of doing all this. He can't actually create anything. Certainly not shareholder value lmao

"Grok" really says everything that needs to be said about this farce, isn't it?
