SpaceX AI has purchased Dot.com, which now redirects to the Grok bot download page. This acquisition occurred around the time of OpenAI's announcement of its new agent product, 'Dots'. The speakers find this move delightful and indicative of the 'wild west' nature of the current AI ecosystem.
“space x i space x ai uh bought dot dot com and dot dot com now redirects straight to the grok bot download page”
“and i highlight that sequence first because i find it delightful and second just to step back and celebrate the wild west nature of the ecosystem right now”
“100 that was going to be my response to this other rundown this sort of stuff used to happen all the time”
