It was reported that Twitter, led by Elon Mask, has purchased about 10,000 GPUs and is developing its own generative AI learned from a huge number of tweets. Musk has just signed a letter calling for a six-month moratorium on cutting-edge AI projects, arguing that AI will spiral out of control and pose serious risks to society and humanity.

Twitter has reportedly purchased about 10,000 GPUs for use in one of the company's two remaining data centers. Tens of millions of dollars (billions of yen) have been invested in this purchase, and a person familiar with the situation said, ``If you don't use it for AI operation, you can spend this amount on a data center grade. It is inexplicable to buy the GPU of ', he said that this move reflected Mr. Mask's involvement in AI projects.
This project is said to develop generative AI and learn Twitter's huge amount of data. It is unknown how Twitter will use this technology, but it can be used to enhance Twitter's search function with generative AI or to rebuild the advertising business.
In 2023, Mr. Mask has strengthened his criticism of the AI research institute ' OpenAI ', which he launched in 2015 as one of the co-founders. For example, in a tweet posted in March, Mr. Mask said, ``For some reason, the nonprofit organization to which I donated $100 million (about 13.3 billion yen) has become a for-profit organization with a market capitalization of $30 billion (about 4 trillion yen). I still don't really understand how it happened. If this is legal, why isn't everyone doing it?' He accused OpenAI of cutting off commercialization.
I'm still confused as to how a non-profit to which I donated ~$100M somehow became a $30B market cap for-profit. If this is legal, why doesn't everyone do it?

One theory is that Mr. Mask's attitude toward OpenAI is related to personal feelings. According to an article published by the news site Semafor in March, Mr. Mask told OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in 2018 that he was concerned that ``research was lagging behind Google too much.'' He proposed that he should take command of However, Altman and other OpenAI founders rejected Musk's proposal.
After that, Mr. Mask withdrew from OpenAI, but Mr. Mask said, ``Tesla became involved in AI research through autonomous driving technology, and his role as CEO of Tesla and his role in OpenAI competed.'' I'm explaining.
Mr. Mask promised to provide financial support even after he retired from OpenAI, but the funding from Mr. Mask suddenly stopped, and OpenAI was forced to raise funds. It is said that Mr. Mask was furious when he established a for-profit subsidiary with funding from Microsoft and released ChatGPT in November 2022 to monopolize the topic.
Shortly after, Twitter blocked OpenAI from accessing tweet data called “ Firehose .” It is also reported that Mr. Mask has pulled out several AI researchers from DeepMind and others, saying that he will establish a research institute to develop AI to counter ChatGPT.
