Elon Musk Joins the AI Race

The most prominent investors and corporations across the globe are participating in the growing trend of artificial intelligence (AI). Hence, it should come as no surprise that Elon Musk is joining the movement.

He has recently announced the formation of xAI, a new enterprise dedicated to the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI).

The company has announced an exceptional team comprising top experts who were previously part of top companies like DeepMind, OpenAI, Google Research, Microsoft Research, Tesla, and the University of Toronto.

If you are not aware, then let me highlight here that Elon Musk was previously associated with OpenAI ChatGPT but quit in 2018 due to conflicts.

Twitch Launched a Discovery Feed and Other Short-Form Video Features

Twitch announced a handful of key features, and two of its key features are Stories and a Discovery feed, borrowing formats popularized by Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat.

The Stories feature, available in October, will allow Streamers to share vertical full-screen images, videos, and text updates with followers between live streams, allowing them to communicate with viewers even when they are not online.

The upcoming Discovery feed presents curated clips to viewers based on preferences and helps viewers discover new streams, even when streamers aren’t online.

Other enhancements to Android and iOS devices include clip editing tools like trim functionality and the ability for streamers to grant access to video editors and allow direct exports to YouTube and TikTok.
