Elon starts new AI research outfit, xAI, to "understand reality"

On the topic of AI, Elon Musk has started yet another company to dick around with it. This one is called xAI, which Musk wants to use to "understand reality" according to a tweet. They do say that necessity is the mother of invention. On the xAI website there's a list of former employees and researchers (all blokes, no women, hmm) from joints like DeepMind, OpenAI, Google, Tesla, Microsoft and the University of Toronto. They also say xAI is a "separate company from X Corp, but will work closely with X (Twitter), Tesla, and other companies to make progress towards our mission". What that mission is, well besides from making Elon Musk even wealthier, who the fuck knows as all the website says is "understand the true nature of the universe".
