Seems like xAI is having a Fairchild semiconductor moment, saw at least half a dozen people posting they are leaving xAI, and seems like all of them are starting something new, together.
Is that surprising ? The merger doesn't make any sense at all. Everybody knows it's a bailout and Musk's empire is running out of money - it's almost the last attempt to save it. He still has 2 more jokers left - SpaceX IPO or merge SpaceX with Tesla. But the writing is already on the wall.
If I thought that AI was going to change the world, and I found out that my AI company was instead going to be used to raise money to cross-fund something else that was failing, I might well leave too.
Valid point. I am often amazed the reports (all sides of the political aisle) will list a number without context. Twice as many as last year. Went from 1 to 2, and we want you to be upset. It forces me to check multiple sites to understand the real numbers.
In the past I have attributed this to people being bad with numbers, but it is more and more apparent it is to hid the real meaning and push an agenda.
