The Domain Parking Lot: An AI Rivalry with a Twist
10 October 2026
With so many serious topics being discussed in the world of AI, we shouldn’t lose sight of its lighter side. And here’s one such amusing story.
On September 29, OpenAI launched Dots, its new always-on AI agents.
But there was a twist. dots.com doesn’t lead to OpenAI. It redirects to Grok, from Elon Musk’s xAI.
What’s even more interesting is that the domain’s registration records show a change back in July 2026, nearly two months before OpenAI announced Dots.
Whether this was clever planning or pure coincidence remains unknown.
Meanwhile, here’s a light-hearted take on the situation. 😊
