Inside Elon Musk’s AI party at OpenAI’s old headquarters
Elon Musk threw an xAI recruiting party in OpenAI’s original San Francisco headquarters.
He said he believes we’ll reach artificial general intelligence (AGI) in a couple of years; he hopes to build a “supersonic jet company” next; he plans to open-source xAI’s models roughly nine months after they’re released; and most importantly, he wants to move fast. Meanwhile, Altman is on a global mission, meeting with UAE leaders, Asian chipmakers, and US officials to raise $7 trillion for 36 semiconductor plants and data centers, all aimed at advancing OpenAI’s pursuit of AGI. It may attract those eager to see rapid AI proliferation or who align with Musk’s techno-libertarian leanings — people who reject Silicon Valley’s “wokeness” in favor of a “super hardcore” work environment that prioritizes ambition and agility over corporate safeguards.
