240. Exploring the AI Landscape: Rivals and Generative AI


Listen Later

This week, Logan and Evan dive into the latest developments in the world of artificial intelligence. Our first topic centers around Elon Musk's recent move to start a rival AI company called X.AI, after changing the name of Twitter to X corp. by merging the two companies together. We discuss his plans to build an everything app like WeChat in China and power it with AI likely trained on Twitter data. With his aggressive recruiting of engineers away from Deep Mind and Open AI, we explore the potential for Musk to create a new, powerful AI app that revolutionizes the way we consume information and interact on social media.

Our second topic covers Amazon's recent entry into the generative AI race with Bedrock Launch. We examine Amazon's approach of recruiting third parties to host models on AWS, which enables developers to build with pre-trained models within the AWS ecosystem, the largest cloud development platform in the world. With Amazon competing with Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI, we explore the potential impact of Bedrock Launch on the market and how it could shape the future of AI development.
