Elon Musk says remaining Twitter employees will receive “very significant” stock awards on March 24th

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, finance, space travel

“This past week, we completed a difficult organizational overhaul focused on improving future execution, using as much feedback as we could gather from the entire company,” Musk wrote. “Those who remain are highly regarded by those around them.”

The short memo, titled “Performance Awards,” is Musk’s first communication to Twitter employees since he laid off hundreds more of them, including several senior loyalists and nearly all of the product team without warning over the weekend. (Platformer’s Zoë Schiffer first tweeted about the memo.)

After several rounds of cuts and demanding that employees be “extremely hardcore,” Musk hasn’t yet shared details about how he will make up for the stock awards that went away when he took Twitter private. In previous internal comments, he has alluded to the system he set up at SpaceX to let employees regularly sell the company’s stock to interested investors. Given Twitter’s distressed financial situation relative to SpaceX, it’s unclear what the appetite for its stock will be in the short term.

Soldiers Use ‘Telepathy’ to Control Robot Dogs with Brain Waves: See Video

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI

A new video released by the Australian Army shows soldiers using a form of enhanced digital ‘telepathy’ to control robot dogs.

Unlike more well-known brain-machine interface technologies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink, the new system doesn’t use an implant. Instead, the system reads brain signals via an external helmet and then translates that information into commands for the robot dogs. Although still in the testing stages, robotic systems that can be controlled by thoughts instead of verbal or physical commands could offer a significant technological advantage to militaries of the future.

Enhanced Electronic telepathy’ a Potential Battle Field Game Changer.

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI

“OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it ‘Open’ AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft,” Musk tweeted (Opens in a new window) today. “Not what I intended at all.”

OpenAI this week acknowledged that its process for “fine-tuning” ChatGPT is “imperfect.”

“Sometimes the fine-tuning process falls short of our intent (producing a safe and useful tool) and the user’s intent (getting a helpful output in response to a given input),” OpenAI says (Opens in a new window). “Improving our methods for aligning AI systems with human values is a top priority (Opens in a new window) for our company, particularly as AI systems become more capable.”
