Elon Musk’s Twitter Purchase Raises Concerns for MENA Region

Posted by in categories: business, cybercrime/malcode, Elon Musk, government, space, sustainability

“The likelihood of a cyber-attacks on Twitter feel very high right now and their ability to be able to counteract that feels very low,” Radcliffe said. “The amount of information that they have on users is considerable and I think that that’s a potential source of concern, particularly in countries in the Middle East and other places where once the information is on the open market and in the public domain it could potentially be harmful to users.”

Partnering with individuals or groups close to authoritarian regimes raises concerns over how Twitter might react should it be pressured by supply information on dissidents or to quell opposition speech. They also raise questions about Musk’s potential conflict of business interests concerning Tesla and Space X’s availability in certain markets.

Such questions have already been brought up by at least one member of the US Congress. But experts say they’re much more concerned about data security should Twitter go under.

ChatGPT Is A Huge Fan Of Elon Musk, Donald Trump And AI, But Not Google, Amazon And Apple

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, internet, robotics/AI

Silicon Valley has been obsessed with ChatGPT since it launched on Nov. 30. The clever chatbot, created by Elon Musk-founded startup OpenAI, has racked up more than a million users in its first five days and is likely to report strong engagement as people dive deeper into the charms of its impressive AI.

You can chat with it for free at chat.openai.com and ask it anything it deems appropriate. It doesn’t have access to the internet and can only respond based on the data set it was trained on, but its answers can be quite imaginative.


The Tesla and SpaceX founder is always the hero in this chatbot sensation’s stories.

Is ChatGPT a ‘virus that has been released into the wild’?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, Elon Musk, robotics/AI

More than three years ago, this editor sat down with Sam Altman for a small event in San Francisco soon after he’d left his role as the president of Y Combinator to become CEO of the AI company he co-founded in 2015 with Elon Musk and others, OpenAI.

At the time, Altman described OpenAI’s potential in language that sounded outlandish to some. Altman said, for example, that the opportunity with artificial general intelligence — machine intelligence that can solve problems as well as a human — is so great that if OpenAI managed to crack it, the outfit could “maybe capture the light cone of all future value in the universe.” He said that the company was “going to have to not release research” because it was so powerful. Asked if OpenAI was guilty of fear-mongering — Musk has repeatedly called all organizations developing AI to be regulated — Altman talked about the dangers of not thinking about “societal consequences” when “you’re building something on an exponential curve.”

The audience laughed at various points of the conversation, not certain how seriously to take Altman. No one is laughing now, however. While machines are not yet as intelligent as people, the tech that OpenAI has since released is taking many aback (including Musk), with some critics fearful that it could be our undoing, especially with more sophisticated tech reportedly coming soon.

Musk tells Jack Dorsey ‘most important’ Twitter data was hid from him

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, futurism

Elon Musk told Twitter’s founder Jack Dorsey that there was allegedly important data being hidden from the former CEO during his tenure at the helm of the social media company after Mr Dorsey had called for “full transparency” around the so-called “Twitter Files”.

On Wednesday, Mr Dorsey responded to a tweet from Mr Musk and asked him to publish all data from the microblogging platform, uncensored, in a Wikileaks-style dump.

“If the goal is transparency to build trust, why not just release everything without filter and let people judge for themselves? Including all discussions around current and future actions?” tweeted Mr Dorsey. “Make everything public now.”

Twitter’s current turmoil may lead to a rival app from Meta

Posted by in category: Elon Musk

Meta staff has mulled over potentially building a rival app to Twitter. But, would it work?

A recent article in The New York Times claims that Meta is trying to make money off of Elon Musk’s messy attempt to take over Twitter. According to the publisher, their plan is to potentially build a competitor application for Twitter to attempt to muscle in on the platform’s unrivaled dominance.

Schrödinger’s blue check: according to Twitter, I may or may not be notable

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, sustainability, transportation

Twitter is rumored to re-roll-out its flopped Twitter Blue subscription tomorrow, which will once again enable people to pay real cash money to get a blue check next to their name. Hopefully, this time, it won’t lead to mass impersonation and misinformation, but who can say? Yet already, some users are noting that when they click on an existing blue check (not of the $8 variety), they’re served with a pop-up that says, “This is a legacy verified account. It may or may not be notable.”

This is especially funny when it appears on accounts like The White House, or even Elon Musk’s Twitter itself. To be fair, is Elon Musk really notable? He didn’t even found Tesla.

Tesla AI Day 2 will feature “hardware demos” and tons of technical details: Elon Musk

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, supercomputing, sustainability, transportation

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently provided a teaser on what will be happening during the company’s AI Day 2 event this Friday. Considering Musk’s recent comments, it appears that AI Day 2 will be filled to the brim with exciting discussions and demos of next-generation tech.

This is not Tesla’s first AI Day. Last year, the electric vehicle maker held a similar event, outlining the company’s work in artificial intelligence. During the event, Tesla held an extensive discussion on its neural networks, Dojo supercomputer, and humanoid robot, the Tesla Bot (Optimus). Interestingly enough, mainstream coverage of the event later suggested that AI Day was underwhelming or disappointing.
