Some two weeks back, Elon Musk was one of a number of big names who signed an open letter calling for a. As a totally unexpected advancement to the story the man is now rumoured to have purchased 10,000 GPUs. What are these high-powered graphics cards for, you ask?Yep, Elon Musk is now taking up the very sceptre he attempted to block, and may be shipping his newly acquired GPU haul to Twitter's Atlanta data center as we speak.
Estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars, there's no word on the exact hardware Musk's reported purchase consists of. The likelihood is it's going to involve a good few of Nvidia's Hopper H100 GPUs, and/or some A100 and GPUs similar to ChatGPT's own. Having co-founded Open AI back in 2015, and having later left the company in 2018 on bad terms, this certainly feels like something Musk would see as a logical business step.
We've fought through the rumours, and it turns out X.AI itself isn't necessarily going to be directly associated with Twitter. It is likely to utilise Tesla's masses of data, however,
I believe it's his plan to control the AI to limit the potential for Skynet
It's not irony. If it's not gonna stop jump on board.
Yeah, called it.
Musk can't handle competition.
Oh yeah, that's really clever. You can't beat the genius of pausing AI experimentation, and then spending millions on GPUs for a new AI project.
Well not all AI is built the same, not all AI has the same function. This is why I hate how people choosed that name for something that is by far not at all Artificial inteligence nor the same thing in every case but rather different programs trained to do different things.
The Russians right before world war 1 requested the rest of the world to stop advancing technologically because they were behind the times lol
