🔥 This summer, Telegram users will gain access to the best AI technology on the market. Elon Musk and I have agreed to a 1-year partnership to bring xAI’s chatbot Grok to our billion+ users and integrate it across all Telegram apps 🤝

💪 This also strengthens Telegram’s financial position: we will receive $300M in cash and equity from xAI, plus 50% of the revenue from xAI subscriptions sold via Telegram 💰

Telegram + Grok = ❤️📈🏆

oh damn, this will get a lot of downvotes 💀.

I swear I just wanted to inform you guys.

Thanks for letting us know to delete Telegram!

ahaha, no problem!

Maybe it’s the emojiis. It’s hard to tell if they’re sarcastic or the author genuinely thinks ❤️📈🏆

The announcement is from Pavel Durov, the Telegram owner. I’ve been following his telegram channel for a while, and I can confirm that he loves emojis 🏆🏆📈

Ah, Telegram gets paid 300 million dollars for this action. Understandable.

Anything to do with Musk is toxic.

I will up vote, not because I like it, but because more upvotes means it’ll get on the “hot” list which will mean more people will see it and be disgusted by it, like myself.

abobla@lemm.ee on 28 May 17:43 collapse

Yes, this was my main goal. I thought the post was gonna get more upvotes since this might change people’s opinions on telegram.

MyOpinion@lemm.ee on 28 May 18:03 next collapse

I know an app that I will never use now.

resipsaloquitur@lemm.ee on 28 May 19:12 next collapse

I’m glad we found another place to stuff AI into.

Wait, Elon is paying Telegram to use Grok? Probably why I’m not a multi billionaire but paying people to use your service sounds like a weird business model.

Maybe the revenue from xAI subscriptions turns this into a profit. Telegram has a lot of active users.

ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net on 28 May 20:39 collapse

Yeah, but are the subscriptions profitable? OpenAI is losing money on subscriptions: techcrunch.com/…/openai-is-losing-money-on-its-pr…

Good point, didn’t think of that.

Paying to get access to data and eyeballs. Social media is about mass surveillance and influence. The customers pay the service for access to the stupid people. Always have.

It seems I’ll be switching to Signal…I guess

iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com on 29 May 11:06 next collapse

I was about 80% successful switching to Signal from Telegram. So worthwhile.

Konstant@lemmy.world on 29 May 15:40 collapse

Signal has no cool channels, or I don’t know how to find them.

What the fuck is with the emojis? Was this written by a preteen?

laz@pawb.social on 29 May 07:50 collapse

Probably by AI. AI loves random emoji

Haha, that’s a cheap sellout before committing suicide for an app. Show us where your loyalty is.

CosmoNova@lemmy.world on 29 May 07:53 next collapse

Going by the reputation of both user bases this must be a match made in heaven. Or should I say hell?

Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 29 May 09:42 collapse

Not really…I am using it exclusively for notifications because email integration was too annoying.

Russian Spyware now with built in support for fascism. Fucking garbage
