AI.com flips from ChatGPT to Elon Musk’s X.ai

Main topic: The ownership and redirection of the domain AI.com Key points: - OpenAI seemingly purchased AI.com to redirect it to the ChatGPT web interface. - Elon Musk, the backer of OpenAI, has taken ownership of AI.com and redirected it to X.ai, his machine learning research outfit. - Two-letter .com domains are rare and expensive, especially those that form words or familiar abbreviations. - The purchase of AI.com by OpenAI likely fetched a high price due to the hype around artificial intelligence. - The reasons behind the domain switch and the details of the transaction are unknown. - X.ai is still a largely notional organization with a goal to understand the true nature of the universe. - The ownership of AI.com seems like a squabble between rich individuals and raises questions about the need for a new brand and the high cost of redirecting an empty site. - The actual ownership of AI.com and the motives behind the redirection remain unconfirmed. - The author suggests redirecting AI.com for profit or not using it at all to send a message.
