Musk famously co-founded openAI (the team behind chatGPT) in 2015 and left its board in 2018

Since that time he founded a new venture, xAI with a team of former Google and Microsoft AI experts

In order to showcase that he is really obsessed with the letter x, he has named the new company xAI (cf. SpaceX and X)

The AI space is becoming increasingly crowded and it remains to be seen whether this new product can really take off - can it compete with bingAI and bard?

why is he obsessed with the CHI letter?
Because way back when he was trying to make Paypal, he wanted it to be "x.com" and be a constantly evolving website, but everyone else was like, "that's stupid" and didn't do it. So for the past 20+ years coupled with being high on ketamine, he decided to make his obsession a reality.

But why x.com?

The answer is he is childish and it's in the word sex

Dude literally named his cars models S Ξ X and Y

In a sane and logical world, Musk would be a lolcow. Instead, we are layers deep in a post-Harambe timeline where someone like him is taken seriously. You humans ruined the timeline by killing that ape

Elon's fanbase are a bunch of leftist brainlets.
SylverReZ is having some trouble with his memory, he thinks it's still 2020, Elon Musk is still a green power pushing hippy, and SilverReZ is still a Republican.

Dementia is cruel.

There are instances where he manipulates the platform known as Twitter and constantly criticizes others for their takes about him, many only care about what he does instead of focusing on his negativity.

AI is this decade's streaming. A lot of other companies will join and try to pitch their own AI solutions, and at some point there will be a "golden age" of generative AI. But very much like streaming, only one or two companies will last at the end due to rising costs of operation/low return of investments; general public and business just settling on one big AI solution and they stick to that; government regulations; companies abandoning AI to pursue a new FAD.

Some models are open source and can be used by anyone, smart business will create their own models that fit their brand. I imagine Disney would train their own AI instead of hiring some AI firm instead. And if Windows 12 does come with generative AI tools, I wonder what's left to xAI and other aspiring AI firms besides being hired to mass produce and promote fake news.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
