Self-proclaimed AI savior Elon Musk will launch his own artificial intelligence TOMORROW - as he tries to avoid tech destroying humanity
Elon Musk is set to roll out the first model of his AI-powered system, xAI, on Saturday, one day after he proclaimed the tech is the biggest risk to humanity.
The billionaire said Friday that he is opening up early access to a select group, but details of who has not been shared.
'In some important respects, it (xAI's new model) is the best that currently exists,' the Tesla CEO said on Friday.
Musk, who has been critical of Big Tech's AI efforts and censorship, said earlier this year that he would launch a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe to rival Google's Bard and Microsoft's Bing AI.
Musk revealed his startup on July 12, 2023 by launching a dedicated X account for the AI company and spares website.
The official website only shows an ambitious vision of xAI - that it was developed 'to understand the true nature of the universe.'
Many of the founding members are skilled with large language models.
The xAI team includes Igor Babuschkin, a DeepMind researcher, Zihang Dai, a research scientist at Google Brain and Toby Pohlen, also from DeepMind.
'Announcing formation of @xAI to understand reality,' Musk posted on what was Twitter last year.
He then shared another post highlighting how the date of xAI's release is to honor Douglas Adams' 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.'
When adding up the month, day and year, you get 42.
The number is the answer a supercomputer gives to 'the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.'
Maybe the White Hats are fast-tracking this technology along with everything else to show us how bad things could get, so we can put it down before it's too late.
It's already out of the genie bottle. I don't think you can put it back in. Similar to the war on drugs, you'll never be able to stop it completely. With AI being code (digital) it's even harder to stop.
I believe the machines weaken us and suppress our intelligence. Also, the dangerous radiation from these devices, especially wifi. The fact that the computers are used to control everything we do, and all of the information about a person is stored on them. They think this makes a person; well I don't think it's the whole story of a person's life, not even close. I was thinking we would come to the same conclusion that humans in the book 'Dune' realized, which is 'destroy all thinking machines'. I really do not think computers have helped us much, it seems to reduce some kinds of work, but make more of a different kind of work.
