Two days last week brought a dizzying array of headlines about SpaceXAI’s operations in the Mid-South. So let’s catch up and break down why it all matters and how it fits into the bigger picture.
Elon Musk appeared to acknowledge that the company had built a new data center, known as “Minihard.”
“It just doesn’t make sense for people in a city where our water is being used up by the data center … to contribute to that,” said one of the hosts for Lamplighter Lounge’s first anti-AI show-and-tell.
Generative AI has become widely used. But Celine Lee, co-owner of Hernando’s Hide-A-Way, wants no part of it. Here’s why.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners who bought into Air AI’s programs lost as much as $250,000.
Anthropic, the company behind the widely successful Claude chatbot, would use all of Colossus’ computing capacity.
The universities of Memphis, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee Health Science Center will focus on five areas of research and development.
The president of SpaceX, which just merged with xAI, made a series of pledges about xAI’s plans for Memphis and North Mississippi.
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company continues to pour billions of dollars into Memphis and North Mississippi.
“We cannot miss this opportunity,” investment strategist David Waddell told a Greater Memphis Chamber audience. “I feel highly confident that the work of this chamber will make sure we’ll do all right.”
A Nashville-based investor has spent 18 months looking “relentlessly” for properties to house his modular AI data centers.
“While AI can talk about God, it cannot speak about experiencing him. It can offer no first-person perspective on what God is like in the euphoria of love or in the depths of grief.”
“We must choose a different story. It is impossible to tell the story of Memphis without telling the story of the Jewish people who helped build it.”
On Tuesday afternoon, a company representative, speaking on background, held a call with local reporters and took questions about the project.
Documents show artificial intelligence company xAI considered using dozens of natural-gas turbines to power the second data center. However, the Greater Memphis Chamber said the company is “is demobilizing turbines in Shelby County.”
XAI has operated the turbines currently running without an air-emissions permit — using a temporary-use exemption that allows the machines to run for the first 364 days without a permit. XAI’s second data center could use enough electricity to power 40% of MemphisRelated content:
