Ooooooh so that's why he wanted everyone else to stop any further research and experiments on AI for at least 6 months, to give him time to catch up with his new company!!!

To be fair, he announced that he was going to launch an “anti-woke” AI effort after having a falling-out with OpenAI well before signing the letter, so his commercial interest in “everybody stop so I can catch up” was clear from the outset, not a hidden thing revealed only in retrospect.

By "falling-out" you mean he tried to take over OpenAI but failed. Musk even tried to claim OpenAI "had fallen fatally behind Google" to validate his takeover.

If the article was written by an AI, I would mark it down for "GPUs are the high-end chips required for..."

GPU makers must be doing something to influence the direction of tech. First cryptocurrencies, and now AI. As the article says "Twitter had bought as many as 10,000 Nvidia GPUs, “It seems like everyone and their dog is buying GPUs at this point,” Musk said. “Twitter and Tesla are certainly buying GPUs.”"

Didn't he just tell everyone to stop or did I misinterpret o_O
