Gotta pump that Grok IPO /s Seriously though, the whole SpaceXAI makes zero sense to me. SpaceX was a wonderful company and there was zero need to pollute it with Twitter and a service that creates sexual images of people without their consent.

Not great if you have dogs in the office unfortunately.
To add to this: and they may have hired a FSB agent without knowing it.
And there is no refund button for the deposit. I would have pressed it long ago.
Its quite the shakeup... How will you design your software now that computers can understand you?
The market is being flooded by Chinese brands... all with deep pockets thanks to subsidies from the state. So many brands in Europe right now: xpeng, honqchi, MG, nio, byd, maximus,... the list goes on and on.

Having been in Eric reviews, let me tell you he was very involved in what I was working on... And I learned a ton.
This is a sample of one. Not many of these things out there.
Remember Ping?
His mother was Cayuga and Mohawk. I fail to understand why he would be accused of cultural appropriation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Robertson

How on par to AlphaGo is it? I feel it is like saying Nascar racecar beat an Indycar, which is on par with a Formula One car.
Funny how customers disliked this person.
This is data sovereignty at work.

It would likely run on vapor and drama. Seriously, the overpromise and under-deliver from most Elon endeavours is getting out of control.
Re:EU Passes Law to Switch iPhone to USB-C by End of 2024 on Tuesday October 04, 2022 @11:14AM (#33081549)
