not even one-third of the valuation openai thinks they're worth (up to 340b). and still below what investors thought in 2022 (157b). src
i think this is old spice admitting that xAI is total bullshit and he's giving up on making his own.
Open-source just turned its value to dog shit, I'd say the offer is far above its value.
With how twitters value has gone since he bought it, I'd say he is pretty bad at this
Yes, specially 600 billion of federal funding
I'd take $5M of government funding and make similar progress. Yo DOGE, call me.
I thought this was because he’s still pissy they cut him out, but I guess his reasons can be multifaceted
Maybe below what investors or OpenAI thinks, but I think I'd take it. Unless they've got more secrets up their sleeve I don't seem them ever being worth that much.
How stupid is this conspiracy theory:
If it were a threat, like “this is what you’re gonna be worth if you don’t accept, anyway” depending on how power drunk he was feeling when hitting Tweet
Lol is that even a thing? xAI? I've never heard of it, and I self host AI's, and explore them often.
It's real. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAI_(company)
