Just going to point out Elon Musk stole “Grok” from Robert Heinlein's “Stranger in a Strange Land” and he in no way owns it so feel free to use it in a way that makes it clear Elon just stole it from an author.

The funny thing is that this wouldn't be *quite* as insane a proposition before Musk broke twitter's ability to function as an independent source of news [embedded post]

A bot that summarizes what the users of a racist social media platform say about stories it hasn't actually read definitely sounds worthy of the $6 billion xAI is reportedly raising at a $18b valuation. [embedded post]

New: @elonmusk emailed me about his plan for AI news on X. The idea is to use AI to blend breaking news and commentary, building real-time summaries of events. Then you can go deeper via chat on Grok. Here's the full story! I'll be talking more about this on Big Technology...

Elon Musk, news publisher. Except instead of paying people to find news he'll take what you're saying about the news, right here on Twitter, and summarize it via his Grok AI. Which, honestly, is an idea* I don't completely hate. [image]

FWIW this sounds a lot like Moments, a product Twitter used to have, but compiled via AI instead of human curators

“Conversation on X will make up the core of Grok's summaries — or, really almost all of it.” That's the news solved with AI then. https://www.bigtechnology.com/ ...
