X platform users discovered on Friday that their posts and interactions with its Grok chatbot had been "automatically selected" for use in a system to "train and fine-tune" xAI. The decision was made without first obtaining explicit consent from users. The setting can only be changed on the desktop version of X platform, so users cannot currently opt out through the mobile app. Source note:…

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he would seek board approval to invest $5 billion in his artificial intelligence startup xAI, potentially further entangled his network of tech companies.

Tesla is seeking to transform itself from an electric car maker to a robotics and artificial intelligence company. Musk has pledged to build a team driven by the technology...

Elon Musk's Memphis Supercluster has been launched. According to Musk, the cluster uses 100,000 liquid-cooled H100s on a single RDMA fabric and is "the most powerful AI training cluster in the world." Such a huge computing power naturally requires an amazing power supply. Each H100 GPU consumes at least 700 watts of electricity, which means that the entire data center needs more than 70 megawatts of electricity to run at the same time, not including the power consumption of other servers, networks and cooling equipment...
