Elon is merging X (formally known as Twitter) with his AI company:

The two companies have already been closely integrated, with users accessing xAI’s AI tools through X, and the AI company using user data from X in order to train its AI models.
Imagine that ... an "intelligence" grew up by learning the world through the collective lenses that is X/Twitter. How much would you trust this "intelligence"?

History Hit has this series of historians evaluating AI pictures, it's a good series. AI is rubbish.

I understand where you're coming from, and it’s fair to be skeptical about AI, especially with the rapid advancements and the challenges that come with it. However, AI isn't inherently "rubbish." It’s a tool, and like any tool, its effectiveness depends on how it’s used. Sure, it might not always get things perfect, and there are certainly areas where it’s still developing, but AI has made significant strides in improving productivity, creativity, and even solving complex problems in fields like medicine, climate science, and education.
It’s important to remember that AI, in its current state, still relies heavily on human input, and the real potential lies in how we combine it with our skills, knowledge, and creativity. So, rather than dismissing it entirely, it’s worth considering how AI can complement human abilities and enhance our lives in meaningful ways.
