  Elon Musk isn’t just building another chatbot—he’s aiming for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that’s smarter than us (but ideally not homicidal... maybe). In this episode, host Emily Laird breaks down xAI’s big ambitions, its “maximally truth-seeking” AI Grok, and Musk’s ongoing beef with OpenAI. Is xAI the future of AI freedom, or just another tech billionaire’s grudge-fueled science project? We get into the details, the drama, and whether AI will one day be running your Tesla, writing your tweets, or just arguing with you online.
