- demarq 3y agoThat’s when you know a break up is final lol
- thomasfromcdnjs 3y agoAha
- dbish 3y agoNow let’s see how much that cost
- cjbprime 3y agoMaybe Elon owned it going back to Paypal Mafia days, pointed it at OpenAI while they were friends, and then remembered recently about owning the domain (I assume being the wealthiest person in the world involves constantly forgetting about all the things that you own) and changed the CNAME or whatever.
- dbish 3y agoI’d bet someone else owned it, had it pointed at chatgpt hoping they’d buy it, and just made a ton selling to Elon and crew for the vanity domain (which is pretty funny since x.ai is actually shorter).
- victorbjorklund 3y agoAi.com is such a better domain than x.ai. Still probably a waste of money to just redirect it.
- nicce 3y ago.com matters now as many people know that is a very common ending of the url. Once years pass as people know about other possibilities, it matters less and less.
- acters 3y agoPlenty of people think that a url needs to have a .com to be correct, and the only time a different higher domain is used is when they go from a .com website(like google) or a bookmark/automatically opens. They just think of them like doors in a building. They have to go through a door to access the "other internet." (Go from a .com site to crossover to the other levels of the internet) while bookmarks and other methods are essentially literal shortcuts in a physical sense(even though they can type it into the address bar) equating a shortcut to a button on an elevator, etc.

- piva00 3y ago> The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe. The messaging is getting to a comical level at this point. It's like a bad version of a character from "Silicon Valley"...

- machdiamonds 3y agoIt makes sense to me, he's trying to make something that can answer this question: https://youtu.be/dEv99vxKjVI?t=1909 https://youtu.be/dEv99vxKjVI?t=1909
- q87b 3y agoTo save everyone the view: Interviewer: "What would you ask the AGI" Musk nervously stares around in his view, not focusing but like a person pretending to think hard to prepare a lie. Licks his lips. Seemingly distressed by the question or his immediate answer. Says "WhaT's OutSiDe thE SimUlATiOn"
- pedrogpimenta 3y agoI love how they mention X (Twitter): > We are a separate company from X Corp, but will work closely with X (Twitter),
- agubelu 3y agoSo X AI is a different company from X Corporation but works with X (which is different from the previous two). I see no clarity issues here.
- tomschwiha 3y agoWe can just add more Xs to avoid confusion. X, XX, XXX.
- Simorgh 3y agoCould simplify further by just referencing the count of the number of Xs: E.g. 1, 2 and 3. Or for further clarity, each entity could in fact be denoted by a key feature, e.g. Messenger, AI Shop, etc. Any particularly memorable phrase may do well to differentiate the specific entity from others in the market. All kinds of analogies can be used here creatively!
- Rebelgecko 3y agoI think the .xxx TLD was made for solving this problem.
- ethanbond 3y ago
- ushakov 3y agoDid the domain change ownership/registry?
- blitzar 3y agoUpdated Date: 2022-04-08T15:19:12Z Creation Date: 1993-05-04T04:00:00Z Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2031-05-05T04:00:00Z
- dutchbrit 3y agoDidn't OpenAI buy AI.com for 11 million (amount is disputable)? https://mashable.com/article/chatgpt-ai-dot-com-domain-name-openai https://mashable.com/article/chatgpt-ai-dot-com-domain-name-...
- DeathArrow 3y agoSo you buy two letters for $10 and sell them for $11m? That's a ROI...
- CamelCaseName 3y agoYes, but you would have had to get it in 1993 and hold it until now. The best time to buy a domain was 30 years ago
- acters 3y agoThe best time to buy anything was before and during the internet's creation.
- dougSF70 3y agoThe second best time to buy a domain is today.
- silisili 3y agoI dunno 29 years ago seems better...
- askiiart 3y agoNitpick warning: .ai was actually introduced in 1995, according to Wikipedia[1]. But yeah. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ai https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ai
- solumunus 3y agoThey’re talking about ai.com
- amne 3y agoI know this will age very fast but for the moment their X handle at the bottom of x.ai landing page still shows the old bird logo.
- 0x008 3y agowonder how many applications they get through the application form.
- RaiyanYahya 3y agoi wonder the cost of buying it ?
- andrewstuart 3y agoThat's the new company TwatOpenXiA
