AI ‘mind uploads’ could allow the dead to trade forever

Becoming a ghost in the machine could have financial benefits, but for who?

The savviest traders in the world could one day allow their expertise and financial portfolios to live on long after they’ve died through the magic of artificial intelligence. 

At least that’s the premise increasingly being pitched by AI enthusiasts and futurists such as Ray Kurzweil and Elon Musk. Other insiders, such as Anthropic AI’s Dario Amodei, believe that the technology necessary to make this possible — called “mind uploading” — will eventually be created, but not within the next decade.

On the other hand, a potential collaboration between OpenAI and the late Eddie Van Halen could serve as an accelerator for that timeline.

OpenAI accuses Elon Musk of harassment in legal filing

The artificial intelligence firm is seeking a dismissal of Musk’s lawsuit.

On Oct. 8, OpenAI filed a motion to dismiss Elon Musk’s lawsuit against it. The artificial intelligence firm says Musk is using the court system to “harass” it amid a bid to bolster the fortunes of his own competing company, xAI.

Musk filed suit against OpenAI in February, alleging that the company had strayed from its “not-for-profit” roots. At the time, questions surrounding OpenAI’s potential pivot to a “for profit” model, as described in the lawsuit, spurred conversations throughout the AI community about the legality of OpenAI’s business model.

OpenAI’s move to for-profit: Is it indeed ‘illegal’?

OpenAI’s potential transformation into a for-profit corporation is not impossible, but it will likely not be an easy process.

The move has received controversial feedback from the community, with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk questioning the legality of such a business transformation.

Musk took to X on Sept. 26 to argue that one “can’t just convert a nonprofit into a for-profit,” adding that such a conversion is “illegal.” However, that’s not the case, according to several sources.

Three-Mile Island nuclear site reopening to power AI

The site was ground zero for a partial nuclear meltdown in 1979, which affected a separate unit and caused nearby areas to evacuate.

Microsoft has signed a deal with the Constellation Energy Corporation — the owner of the Three-Mile Island nuclear site — to reopen the Pennsylvania facility and provide the tech company with clean energy for its artificial intelligence operations.

The 20-year deal between Microsoft and Constellation will see the restoration of the Three-Mile Island Unit 1 reactor to host the "Crane Clean Energy Center" as part of the tech giant's commitment to powering its artificial intelligence business through carbon-free power.

As part of the agreement, Constellation Energy will supply 835 megawatts of power to Microsoft and spend approximately $1.6 billion to bring the facility online — a goal the energy provider hopes to accomplish by 2028.
