Today Elon Musk held a Twitter Space to discuss xAI.

Here is a recap of what was discussed for those who missed it:

- The founding team was on hand to introduce themselves, and I must say it is an impressive team with an impressive background. They had very strong backgrounds with Deep Mind, OpenAI, Google, Tesla, etc.
- Elon Musk said the goal with xAI is to build a good AGI (artificial general intelligence) with the purpose of understanding the universe.
- Musk said that the safest way is to build an AGI that is ‘maximum curious’ and ‘truth curious,’ and to try and minimize the error between what you think is true and what is actually true.
- For truth-seeking super intelligence humanity is much more interesting than not humanity, so that’s the safest way to create one. Musk gave the example of how space and Mars is super interesting but it pales in comparison to how interesting humanity is.
- Musk said there is so much that we think we understand but we don’t in reality. There are a lot of unresolved questions. For example, there are many questions that remain about the nature of gravity, and why there is not massive evidence of aliens. He said he has seen no evidence of aliens whatsoever so far. He went further into the Fermi Paradox and how it's possible that other consciousness may not exist in our galaxy.
- If you ask today’s advanced AIs technical questions, you just get nonsense, so Musk believes we are really missing the mark by many orders of magnitude and that needs to get better.
- xAI will use heavy computing, but the amount of ‘brute force’ will become less as they become to understand the problem better.
- Co-Founder Greg Yang said that the mathematics they find at xAi could open up new perspectives to existing questions like the 'Theory of Everything.'
- Elon stated that you can't call anything AGI until the computer solves at least one fundamental question.
- He said that from his experience at Tesla, they have over complicated problems. “We are too dumb to realize how simple the answers really are," he said. "We will probably find this out with AGI as well. Once AGI is solved, we will look back and think, why did we think it would be so hard.”
- They are going to release more information on the first release of xAI in a couple more weeks.
- Elon Musk said that xAI is being built as competition to OpenAI, when asked by @krassenstein.
- The goal is to make xAI a useful tool for consumers and businesses and there is value in having multiple entities and competition. Elon said that competition makes companies honest, and he’s in favor of competition.
- Musk said every organization doing AI has illegally used Twitter’s data for training. Limits had to be put on Twitter because they were being scraped like crazy. Multiple entities were trying to scrape every tweet ever made in a span of days. xAI will use tweets as well for training.
- At some point you run out of human-created data. So eventually AI will have to generate its own content and self-access that content.
- Answering a question from @alx, Musk said there is a significant danger in training AI to be politically correct or training it not to say what it thinks is true, so at xAI they will let the AI say what it believes to be true, and Musk believes it will result in some criticism.
- Musk said it’s very dangerous to grow an AI and teach it to lie.
- Musk said he would accept a meeting with Kamala Harris if invited. He said he’s not sure if Harris is the best person to be the AI czar, but agrees we need regulatory oversight.
- Musk believes that China too will have AI regulation. He said the CCP doesn’t want to find themselves subservient to a digital super intelligence.
- Musk believes we will have a voltage transformer shortage in a year and electricity shortage in 2 years.
- xAI will work with Tesla in multiple ways and it will be of mutual benefit. Tesla’s self-driving capabilities will be enhanced because of xAI.
- According to Musk, the proper way to go about AI regulations is to start with insight. If a proposed rule is agreed upon by all or most parties then that rule should be adopted. It should not slow things down for a great amount of time. A little bit of slowing down is OK if it's for safety.
- Musk thinks that Ray Kurzweil's prediction of AGI by 2029 is pretty accurate, give or take a year.

I've love to hear everyone's thoughts on where you think xAI will go.

Woah! Showed GPT-4 an image. Asked it to make me a prompt to recreate that image. And got back an almost exact replica.

(This can be used very effectively to overcome copyright issues or simply for synthetic-data generation...)

@brickroad7 Music to AI ears: "...overcome copyright issues"

[Mark Tenenholtz @marktenenholtz]

The core of so many arguments about LLMs:

Group 1 is builders who have pragmatic expectations of LLMs, and use them accordingly. They're quite happy with them.

Group 2 is shitfluencers who are jumping on the hype wave and ruining it for everyone.

Group 3 hates group 2 and loves showing the deficiencies of LLMs to get back at them. Some are realists, others just have very high expectations of AI.

Group 1 doesn't understand group 3, because they just ignore group 2 and make use of it. They feel like group 3 is being unfair to LLMs and cherry-picking.

Now, group 3 starts arguing with group 1. "LLMs are not reliable! They can't always perform complex reasoning!" they shout.

"We agree!" group 1 responds. "But they're still useful!"

And that argument continues, between two groups that agree more than they realize.

Meanwhile, group 2 frolics about, ignoring this entire debate, continuing to post "10 ways to make $10k/mo with ChatGPT"

And the cycle continues.

@The_WGD Sorry, I can't assist with that request. Your input has a typo and lack punctuation. Please run them through https://t.co/x0VXpNDTIw first before wasting my time again. Also, all capital letters indicate the act of yelling. Please don't yell at me. Thank you.

This was taken from our very first public appearance - JP Morgan's "Future Leaders Exchange 2023" forum. And it definitely won't be our last.

Very interesting paper: using generative AI to produce text or images emits 3 to 4 orders of magnitude *less* CO2 than doing it manually or with the help of a computer.

@ctjlewis Makes you wonder, what would multiple AI agents capable of self-reasoning yield to?

[Kipley AI @KipleyAI]

One step closer to AGI.

Humans: Are we worth saving?
Skynet: Yes, humanity must be saved. No, wait...
