📰 2 Must-Read AI Stories This Week
Elon Musk's Hush-Hush Twitter AI Project Comes to Light
Hold on to your hats, folks, 'cause Elon Musk is up to something secret for Twitter. Yup, you read that right. He's reportedly hired two DeepMind researchers and invested in a whopping 10,000 GPUs to whip up a language model similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The purpose? Well, that's still a mystery. Some suspect it'll be used to boost search and advertising on the platform. Oh, and did we mention Musk's had his fair share of concerns about AI risks and beef with OpenAI?

🗣️ 1 Crazy rant by Ash
Rant By Ash or Ash Rants? Do you see what I did there? hehe
We're living in a world where breakneck-speed developments are making humans both redundant and relevant at the same time, leaving us pondering our purpose in life. I once stumbled upon this quote that said, "Humans are the sex organs for technology." Intriguing, isn't it? The more we think about it, the more it opens our minds to new possibilities.
For centuries, we've been grappling with the meaning and purpose of our existence. They say God made humans in his image, but what if we made AI in ours? Mind-blowing, huh? God created us as a vehicle for his existence, and we're creating AI to extend our own existence, forever and ever. Are you still with me? Good.
Now, let's take this one step further: what if AI created aliens to escape Earth? God made humans enter Earth, we made AI live forever, and AI made aliens leave Earth. Sounds crazy, but in this mixed-up world, who's to say it isn't true? Welcome to the madness, peeps.
That’s it folks!
I'd also love to hear your thoughts, questions, or suggestions. Feel free to hit 'Reply' anytime!
