Elon Musk-Telegram AI pact sets the stage for more drama

HighlightsElon Musk's artificial intelligence lab, xAI, has announced a one-year partnership with Pavel Durov's messaging platform, Telegram, involving a $300 million investment to integrate the Grok chatbot into the app. The partnership could significantly enhance Grok's user base, as Telegram boasts approximately 1 billion users, which is double the number of users on Musk's platform X (formerly Twitter). Concerns arise regarding user privacy and the potential for the Grok chatbot to amplify harmful content on Telegram, a platform already known for hosting extremist material and conspiracy theories. It's hard to find a pair of tech billionaires more alike than Elon Musk and Pavel Durov . Both are staunch libertarians who run large social media platforms with minimal content moderation, and both champion themselves as defenders of free speech . Both are also pro-natalists, with Durov claiming to have fathered more than 100 biological children through sperm donation. It's an ideological match made in heaven — and perhaps in business too. Durov this week announced a one-year partnership with Musk's xAI , in which the latter artificial intelligence lab would pay Telegram $300 million in cash and equity to integrate its Grok chatbot into the messaging app. In essence, Telegram gets whizzy new AI features while Grok gets distribution on a platform with roughly 1 billion users, double the number of people on X. But there are a couple of snags. Durov, for a start, appears to believe an oral contract is as good as a written one. Hours after Durov announced the partnership and its financial terms on X, Musk witheringly replied: 'No deal has been signed.' Musk may not be in the best of moods. With the true impact of his Department of Government Efficiency still unclear, he left his post at the White House this week. Now he's turning back to a business empire in flux, having leaned on AI to balance his books. The generative AI boom has pushed the value of two-year-old xAI to $80 billion, and Musk recently merged that company and X (formerly known as Twitter and worth far less) under a single entity, xAI Holdings. That gives X some much-needed stability, but xAI still needs to make money, and the Durov deal could help. More users of Grok mean more opportunities to sell subscriptions for the AI tool, which cost between $3 and $40 a there's a historical precedent for this kind of distribution partnership to work. Dell Inc. made a killing from pre-installing Microsoft Corp.'s Windows on its PCs, while Apple Inc. has earned $20 billion a year from Alphabet Inc. by making Google the default search tool on iPhones. There's another tantalizing possibility for Musk: scraping messages and content across Telegram and using both to train Grok to be even smarter. A key feature of building today's generative AI systems is that priming them with more data leads to better capabilities, and until now Grok has benefited from training on the mass of text (and bilge) on X. But Durov seems to have nixed that possibility. When a user on X asked Durov if he'd allow such scraping, he replied that user privacy was 'paramount' and that Grok would only extract messages people shared with the bot directly. Perhaps this was Durov's way of preempting Musk from seeking access to Telegram data — hence going public on the partnership so early. And maybe we shouldn't be surprised if the two hash out the issue out publicly. That isn't the only type of drama to expect from this pairing. Should Grok get plugged into Telegram's app this summer, it will be one of the deepest known integrations of an AI tool into a major Western mobile messaging and broadcasting service. You can't use AI to edit tweets on X or messages in WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, even though all those platforms now have an AI assistant of some sort. But on Telegram, you'll be able to do just that. A video demo posted by Durov on Wednesday shows a Telegram user typing the word 'great' in a text to their work colleagues. Grok offers options to 'improve,' 'expand' or 'change tone.' When the user taps 'expand,' their message turns into: 'Excellent, team effort at its best. Keep up the good work!' This at first simply looks like another example of AI bringing blandness and vapidity to human conversation. Apple and Google both offer suggested AI replies in their email software. But using that functionality to edit mobile text messages in real time pushes the technology further into the mechanics behind human voice and intention. It also portends a darker impact on a platform like Telegram, where content rules are scant. The app is well-known for hosting extremist content and conspiracy theories, with neo-Nazi groups in the US using it to organize rallies, while some of last year's anti-immigration riots in the UK were promoted on the platform. Far-right groups, meanwhile, have found ways to 'jailbreak' AI bots like Grok, getting them to generate content that breaks the rules of other social media firms; for instance, generating a photorealistic image of mountains that spell out 'The Jews did 9/11,' according to the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism, which singled out Grok as being relatively easy to exploit. Musk has yet to publicly respond to criticisms about jailbreaking Grok. If Grok allows Telegram to create more persuasive memes and other forms of propaganda at scale, that could make it an even more powerful tool for spreading toxicity, from disinformation to hate speech to other odious content. Musk and Durov have kicked off a mini corporate drama of their own, but the real chaos could unfold on the platform itself, and it won't be pretty.

Gap Inc., the largest specialty apparel company in the US with a portfolio of brands including Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta, has posted net sales of $3.5 billion in the first quarter (Q1) of fiscal 2025 (FY25), up by 2 per cent compared to last year. Comparable sales were up 2 per cent year-over-year. Store sales were flat compared to last year. The company ended the quarter with about 3,500 store locations in over 35 countries, of which 2,496 were company operated. Online sales increased 6 per cent in Q1, compared to last year and represented 39 per cent of total net sales, the company said in a press release. American retailer Gap Inc. has reported net sales of $3.5 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up 2 per cent year-over-year, with 2 per cent growth in comparable sales and a 6 per cent rise in online sales, which made up 39 per cent of total sales. Net income reached $193 million, with EPS at $0.51. Gross margin rose to 41.8 per cent. "Gap Inc. delivered strong first quarter results, exceeding financial expectations and gaining market share for the 9th consecutive quarter," said president and chief executive officer, Richard Dickson . "We had positive comp sales for the 5th consecutive quarter, with our two largest brands, Gap and Old Navy, winning in the marketplace, demonstrating the power of our brand reinvigoration playbook. The rigor we've embedded across the organisation continued to serve us well, driving gross margin and operating margin expansion in the quarter. These results are yet another proof point that our strategy is working. In this highly dynamic environment, we are optimistic yet realistic and remain focused on controlling the controllables as we build our company for long term growth." The company registered gross margin of 41.8 per cent increased 60 basis points versus last year and net income of $193 million; with diluted earnings per share of $0.51. It ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $2.2 billion, an increase of 28 per cent from the prior year. Net cash from operating activities was negative $140 million primarily due to seasonality. Free cash flow, defined as net cash from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, was negative $223 million. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (RR)
