Musk wants you to trust xAI more than OpenAI and Google
In one of his recent statements, Elon Musk said that his AI company is more trustworthy compared to OpenAI and Google. Musk wants people to trust his new company.
Last week, the CEO of Tesla unveiled xAI, his eagerly awaited AI venture that aims to "understand the true nature of the universe." The billionaire emphasized the company's objective in a Friday Twitter Spaces as being to create a "good AGI" that is "maximally curious" and "truth-seeking."
He asserted that his organization shared the goal of developing effective AI with other big participants in the market, including OpenAI and Google, and that the business was in competition with them, as reported by Business Insider.
Musk added that competition made businesses more sincere and that it was important to have competition in the AI sector to prevent one company from monopolizing progress. Musk stressed throughout the conversation that, in contrast to well-established competitors, his company was just getting started and referred to the endeavor as "really embryonic."
The CEO of Twitter has criticized OpenAI, a business he helped start in 2015. He has alleged that some of the company's AI-powered chatbot's content moderation is biased. He has previously declared his intention to develop his own version of the bot under the name "TruthGPT."
Musk stated during the Spaces conversation that xAI's technology might provide "controversial" answers. Training an AI to be politically correct or "not say what it actually thinks is true," according to Musk, carries a "significant danger." He pledged that his own business will let its AI model express what it genuinely "believes."
Musk entered the industry with xAI
The term "extensible artificial intelligence" (also known as "xAI") refers to an AI system's capacity to scale and adapt to different applications. Musk sees xAI as a solution to pressing global issues like poverty and climate change.
On Friday, July 14, the xAI team will host a lively and dynamic Twitter Spaces conversation session. You are cordially invited to participate. The xAI team will be on hand at this event to engage with you personally and answer any questions you may have. Elon Musk has teamed up with Igor Babuschkin, Tony Wu, Christian Szegedy, and Greg Yang. xAI's objectives are:
- Truth-seeking
- Transparency
- Safety
Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.
He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.
Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?
Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?
Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.
The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.
It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.
> The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…
Sadly, I have to agree.
Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.
If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!
We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.
because nevermore wants to “monetize” on every aspect of human life…
“Threads” is like the Walmart of Social Media.
How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.
Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.
Sorry posted on the wrong page.
such a long article for such a simple matter. Worthless article ! waste of time
I already do this by attaching them via the ‘Document’ option.
I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S
Quoting the article,
“As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”
Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?
I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.
@John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]
This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

Firefox did this long before Safari.
Basically they’ll do anything except fair royalties.
