After a few weeks of silence on the matter, Elon Musk tweeted (or, “Xed”) that the cage match between himself and Mark Zuckerberg would be live-streamed on X.

He added that all proceeds would go to a charity benefiting veterans.

Zuck hasn’t commented yet, or clarified if the fight would also be live-streamed on Instagram or any other Meta platform.

Last month, Zuck posted that he wasn’t sure if the fight would “come together”, but apparently Elon is still game.

We also don’t know the date of the fight yet 🤷, so it’s all up in the air still.

One of the biggest knocks against AI is that it lacks the creativity of humans.

But Google is looking to change that.

The company released TextFX, an AI tool to help aid the creative process of musicians and creators, in collaboration with Lupe Fiasco.

TextFX is a suite of 10 products that can assist writers, musicians, and others craft more creative pieces of writing.

For example, the ‘Acronym’ product can create relevant acronyms using the letters of any given word. The ‘POV’ product can evaluate a given topic from a different point of view. And ‘Fuse’ can find intersections between two given concepts.

Can’t wait to hear the new Drake x TextFX track someday!

After reporting its first-ever quarterly GAAP profit last week, Uber’s CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said the company is working on a generative AI chatbot.

He didn’t give any further details, but there are two important things to note:

1) Uber is working on several AI initiatives through its Uber AI arm. In fact, AI has been an important component of its algorithm for matching riders and drivers for years.

2) One of Uber’s largest expenses is customer support. It doesn’t take a genius to know that Uber would be keen to cut down on the thousands of customer support agents needed to handle complaints and questions from drivers and riders.

In 2018, Forbes reported that Uber used AI to route user questions to the most relevant customer support agent, which cut down on expenses and wait times.
