« Sans exception », Musk promet l’open source total de X
Elon Musk a promis, sur X, de publier l'intégralité du code source de la plateforme une fois une revue de sécurité achevée. Mais sa précédente promesse de transparence, plus limitée, montre déjà les limites de l'exercice.
China completes world’s first commercial brain-computer interface implant
China has completed the world’s first commercial surgery using an invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) device approved in March, marking a leap in the country’s neurotechnology push to rival Elon Musk’s Neuralink. Chinese surgeons implanted a coin-sized brain chip on a patient with impaired hand mobility linked to a spinal cord injury from a car accident 10 years ago, according to a statement from the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality on Wednesday. The procedure,...
Eine Milliarde US-Dollar: Elon Musk kauft heimlich Unternehmen f�r mobile Gasturbinen
Musk hat den Kauf von New APR Energy geheim gehalten. Dessen auf Trailern montierte Turbinen sollen xAIs KI-Rechenzentren antreiben. ( Elon Musk , KI )
xAI is running 59 unpermitted gas turbines, twice what it has admitted
Emails between regulators and xAI’s consultants put most of the turbines in Southaven, Mississippi. Within five miles on the Tennessee side, about 94% of residents are Black. Ervin Laws lives in Colonial Hills, a neighbourhood in Southaven, Mississippi, where residents say the turbines running around the clock sound like jet engines. “I can’t do anything […] This story continues at The Next Web
SpaceX stock sinks for a second-straight day, nearing $135 IPO price
SpaceX went public a month ago in a record IPO. Elon Musk's space and AI company was added to the Nasdaq-100 last week.
Energy IT shop not interested in Grok, Perplexity as its AI portfolio expands
In a crowded field of AI contenders, the agency’s office of the CIO prioritizes partnerships with vendors that employees are favoring, such as OpenAI and Anthropic. The post Energy IT shop not interested in Grok, Perplexity as its AI portfolio expands appeared first on FedScoop .

Compete Then Collaborate: Frontier AI Teachers Build a Verifiable Curriculum to Improve a Coding Student Beyond Imitation
Large language models increasingly serve as teachers generating training data for smaller students. Prior multi-teacher knowledge distillation methods merge outputs without determining which frontier model teaches best, often relying on an LLM judge biased toward its own outputs. We introduce a compete-then-collaborate framework where four frontier AI teachers (Claude, Codex-GPT, Grok, Gemini) are ranked head-to-head by an execution-based judge (unit tests and stdin-stdout checks) with fairness
Will Enterprises Ever Choose SpaceX’s Grok And Cursor?
SpaceX is a rocket company. It also became an AI company the day its founder Elon Musk folded in xAI, inheriting a frontier model in Grok, the planet-scale Colossus training cluster, and the live data feed of the X platform (formerly Twitter). The IPO headlines fixated on the trillionaire status, the stock price, and the […]
Lawsuit: Man used Grok to make 7K sex images of stepdaughter, then shot himself
More young girls sue X over Grok CSAM; X accused of shielding child predators.
Musk’s X poses “serious risk to Americans’ privacy,” advocates warn FTC
FTC urged to reject Elon Musk’s bid to end X monitoring amid AI concerns.
The Space-based Data Center Hype Machine Is Already in Orbit
“ The lowest-cost place to put AI will be in space, and that will be true within two years, maybe three at the latest,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk told the World Economic Forum in Davos this past January, as his company was preparing to go public . Later that month, SpaceX filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission for an orbital data center constellation of up to 1 million satellites in low Earth orbit, 500 to 2,000 kilometers above Earth. And just three days before the IPO,
Bucks County Man Charged Following Investigation into Grok AI-Generated Child Pornography

X user tricks Grok into sending them $200,000 in crypto using morse code
An X user managed to trick AI chatbot Grok into sending around $200,000 worth of crypto after exploiting its link with an automated trading bot. The incident involved Grok and 'Bankrbot', two AI systems with wallet access, which were manip ... (https://incidentdatabase.ai/cite/1556#7454)
Can AI Make Conflicts Worse? An Alignment Failure in LLM Deployment Across Conflict Contexts
AI models are already deployed in societies affected by armed conflict, and journalists, humanitarian workers, governments and ordinary citizens rely on them for information or for their work processes. No established practice exists for checking whether their outputs can make those conflicts worse. We tested nine model configurations from four providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, xAI) on 90 multi-turn scenarios designed to surface misaligned behaviour in conflict contexts: false equivalence
Hallucinating with AI: Distributed Delusions and “AI Psychosis”
Abstract There is much discussion of the false outputs that generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok create. In popular terminology, these have been dubbed “AI hallucinations”. However, deeming these AI outputs “hallucinations” is controversial, with many claiming this is a metaphorical misnomer. Nevertheless, in this paper, I argue that when viewed through the lens of distributed cognition theory, we can better see the dynamic ways in which inaccurate beliefs, d
Post-hoc vs ante-hoc explanations: xAI design guidelines for data scientists
The growing field of explainable Artificial Intelligence (xAI) has given rise to a multitude of techniques and methodologies, yet this expansion has created a growing gap between existing xAI approaches and their practical application. This poses a considerable obstacle for data scientists striving to identify the optimal xAI technique for their needs. To address this problem, our study presents a customized decision support framework to aid data scientists in choosing a suitable xAI approach fo
Explainable AI Methods - A Brief Overview
Abstract Explainable Artificial Intelligence (xAI) is an established field with a vibrant community that has developed a variety of very successful approaches to explain and interpret predictions of complex machine learning models such as deep neural networks. In this article, we briefly introduce a few selected methods and discuss them in a short, clear and concise way. The goal of this article is to give beginners, especially application engineers and data scientists, a quick overview of the s
Measuring the Quality of Explanations: The System Causability Scale (SCS)
Abstract Recent success in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) allow problem solving automatically without any human intervention. Autonomous approaches can be very convenient. However, in certain domains, e.g., in the medical domain, it is necessary to enable a domain expert to understand, why an algorithm came up with a certain result. Consequently, the field of Explainable AI (xAI) rapidly gained interest worldwide in various domains, particularly in medicine. Explainable A
