Musk launched xAI.com where early experimenters might queue up, if users of twitter.com. That tie-in is a deal killer for me, like putting whipped cream atop a dung pile.

It appears the separate firm, housed in SF as is twitter.com, is using the accumulation of tweets, current and past, to train the LLM. They tout it, and if you use or like twitter.com, it might be worth watching for when it goes mainstream, or getting your queue up position via using twitter.com (see: https://grok.x.ai/)

In any event, most of those Ars links are from last summer, when they were news. 

Does anyone really have much use for all the competing LLM money-chasing stuff hitting the market, especially where Hugging Face, the GitHub of AI, hosted code that backdoored user devices (that Ars item dated March, 2024).

Microsoft pushing CoPilot - as expected after MS dumped a $13 billion investment into OpenAI, MS wants a return on investment, and wants users to buy Azure instead of AWS, on monthly payments.

Google now wants to limit the AI-powered search spam it helped create - also an Ars item dated March, 2024. There seems push afoot. 

An LLM Field of Dreams? Build them, and they will work.
