Given his expansive social media reach and unbridled AI ambitions, the question emerges: is Elon Musk growing too powerful?
After calling for a widespread pause on AI-related innovations to better examine the societal impact of this creeping innovation, Elon Musk has stealthily upped his own AI game. Apart from their obvious cross-synergies vis-à-vis Tesla’s Autopilot Advanced Driver-Assistance System (ADAS) and the Optimus bi-pedal robot, Musk’s AI ambitions do carry Orwellian undertones, given his absolute control over Twitter.
As we noted in a post last week, Elon Musk has poached talent from DeepMind – a subsidiary of the tech giant Alphabet – and purchased around 10,000 GPUs from NVIDIA to train a Large Language Model (LLM) on the pattern of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
