It is so weird that the article repeatedly acknowledges that this isn’t really unique and other companies and researchers are doing the same, but they’re only covering this one because it relates to Musk. What is it about Musk that makes every little thing he does “newsworthy”?

Most of his other companies are not publicly traded, so there isn’t much direct comparison. But Tesla has widely been known to be hugely over-inflated for years and years now, the bubble had to burst sooner or later. It is definitely being hit harder than the rest.

And before AI we had “Thinking Machines”.

Perhaps we should go back to that. OpenAI et al can brand themselves “Think-Tech”
