The Rich Folks Are Force Feeding Us AI

Now it's Elon's Grok.

🕒 Here‘s a TLDR summary:

🦾 Grok’s starting to show up for early release. Grok is Elon Musk’s AI from the initiative xAI that he created.

🤖 Is there such a thing as too many AI bots? The market is becoming very saturated and mostly by heavy pockets like Elon, Microsoft, and Amazon.

💼 AI is affecting our lives. The “rich folks” are controlling the spread of AI. Hence, our everyday life is being swayed by those heavy investors.

Grok, really?

Elon’s answer to the growth of the generative AI wave is creating a new chatbot. I mean, it’s not like we have five good ones so far.

It’s one of those technologies that people believe are going to be the base of everything, similar to the internet.

The truth is you and I can sit and watch. Our behaviour won’t really control what we see when it comes to this technology. It’ll show up in front of your eyes whether you like it or not. It’s decided by a few people who control the market.

Here’s a video about this article from my editor. You’ll enjoy it.

Too Many Bots

It was cool when ChatGPT was released, a bot that actually could do something useful. Then, another came out with the name Google Bard. It wasn’t as good, but it could do some online research.

Then, another was released by a company backed with $4 billion from Amazon, Claude.

Then I’ve heard of Pi, one that can have funny conversations with you.

There will come a moment when it’s just too many. If you go back in time fifteen years, you’ll find me on my windows desktop choosing a browser to use. Google Chrome was not that cool. There were at least ten that are cool in their different ways.

I’d visit a friend, he’d have another web browser. But in time, operating systems and a few smart business deals led to Chrome being dominant. Apple pushes Safari down your throat if you’re one of their users.

In time, generative AI tools will shrink and a few will remain.

• But you didn’t decide on Chrome being the most dominant.

• You didn’t decide that you wanted Amazon AWS to be the most dominant cloud platform.

It’s not you. It’s that investor or VC pouring billions into Amazon.

They’re playing a chess game of our lives.

The reality of the situation is that those VCs or ultra-wealthy individuals decide whether Anthropic exists or not. They decided to give ChatGPT life. They decide whether they want it to grow or not. Believe me when I say that if those investors wants to kill a product, they’d be able to do so.

But it’s not a conspiracy theory of some sort. They don’t meet up and wear suits then decide on our future. They’re just deciding on which company to invest in that’ll increase their ROI. They believed Nvidia was worth investing in.

They added over $830 billion to its valuation in less than a year. That’s close to the entire GDP of Switzerland.

This will lead to you using a certain generative AI tool in the upcoming ten years that they decide on. The more I talk about this the more it sounds like a conspiracy theory. But if you invest in stocks, like me, then you’re a part of this.

The day I freak out and sell all my Google stocks, their end-of-day performance probably won’t flinch. But when the “big guys” decide on a sell of, you’ll notice it.
