Despite recently calling for a six-month pause in the development of powerful AI models, he purchased roughly 10,000 GPUs for a generative AI project within Twitter. ✍🏻 This asserts what I mentioned!

This is good news.

Did he make that purchase after he paid the rent on twitter's office space?

I've got the brand name. It's 'unb[IA]sed'. elonmusk DM me so we can negotiate it

Elon Musk is the consummate liar. Seems he only signed on to that missive about the dangers of AI to pave the way for his own product(s) using this technology. I wouldn't be surprised if this unethical, megalomaniacal robber baron tries to corner the market on it. What a crook.

How unpredictable... time to delete account.
