Odaily Planet Daily News: An internal memo shows that Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, has "borrowed" an executive from SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service division to lead the model training team for the Grok chatbot.
Previously, the team was led by a young engineer, Diego Pasini. The newly appointed head is Jack Garabedian, who has worked as an engineer on the Starlink project at SpaceX since 2021. After joining xAI, he will take over the "Human Data Team," which comprises hundreds of experts responsible for training Grok in fields ranging from finance to science. Pasini and Garabedian did not respond to requests for comment, and representatives of SpaceX and xAI also did not respond. (Jin Shi)
