Elon Musk is known for making bold moves, but this one shocked everyone. Musk, one of the founders of OpenAI, wanted to take complete control of the organization. His reason? He believed that artificial general intelligence (AGI) was coming faster than anyone realized, and he wanted to be in charge to make sure it was developed safely. This revelation comes from leaked communications between Musk and OpenAI leadership, as detailed in OpenAI’s public documentation (source). The emails reveal Musk’s early doubts about OpenAI’s nonprofit model and his push for total control. When OpenAI refused to give Musk the power he demanded, it created a feud that would reshape the future […]

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into programming and software development is transforming the technology landscape. The global AI market was valued at approximately $196 billion in 2024 and is projected to exceed $305 billion by year-end, and the momentum is undeniable.  A staggering 92% of U.S.-based developers in large companies now utilize AI coding tools. Furthermore, 70% of developers report significant advantages from using AI tools, which facilitate writing code 55% faster.  As businesses increasingly adopt AI, 72% reported using it in at least one function, and tools like Phind are among them.  Phind emerges as a specialized answer engine designed to cater to developers’ needs, offering quick and […]
