Unlimited tolerance is how open societies commit suicide.

Elon Musk just warned that societies holding incompatible values eventually hit a reckoning. Karl Popper made the exact same point in 1945 while watching fascists and communists use open societies’ own tolerance against them.

Popper wrote that unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If a society keeps extending tolerance to people who openly want to destroy it and refuses to defend itself, the intolerant win and tolerance dies with them.

He never demanded censorship first. Argue with intolerant ideas. Suppress them only when they stop arguing and start using force.

80 years later Musk is asking the same question: how much can a tolerant society tolerate before it stops being one?

Geoffrey Hinton says a big language model runs on about 1% of your brain's connections and still ends up knowing more than you:

"So in your brain, you have a hundred trillion connections, roughly speaking. Okay. That's a lot. And you only live for about two billion seconds. That's not much."

"If you compare how many seconds you live for, with how many connections you've got, you have a whole lot more connections than experiences."

"Now with these neural nets, it's sort of the other way round. They only have of the order of a trillion connections. So like 1% of your connections, even in a big language model, many of them fewer, but they get thousands of times more experience than you."

"So the big language models are solving the problem with not many connections, only a trillion. How do I make use of a huge amount of experience?"

"And back propagation is really, really good at packing huge amounts of knowledge into not many connections."

"But that's not the problem we're solving. We've got huge numbers of connections, not much experience. We need to sort of extract the most we can from each experience."

Two to three billion seconds is the whole budget. Everything you know, you learned inside it.

So evolution built you to squeeze a lot out of very little. Hinton's point is that a language model has the opposite problem and the opposite fix, and backprop turned out to be extremely good at that fix.

Worth noticing what this predicts about failure. A system running on 1% of your wiring and thousands of times your experience is not going to fail the way you do.

You fail from having seen too few examples. It fails from compressing too many into too little, and the compression is where the errors get made.

That is a strange thing to be deploying into hospitals and courts with no way to inspect it. We test these systems by asking them questions, which tells you what came out. Nobody can yet look at a trillion connections and say what got packed in.

Elon Musk on early days of SpaceX:

"When I started SpaceX, one of my friends got a compilation of rocket failures & made me watch the whole thing. I knew the probability of SpaceX failing was high"

JUST IN: Grok 4.5 overtakes GPT-5.6 Sol & Fable 5 in OpenRouter token volume, cracking the top 10 closed models.

Driving the chair with my mind was such an exhilarating feeling.

The most hope I have felt since my ALS diagnosis.

I am honored to be developing this technology that will change the world and improve the lives of millions of people.

Let me just reiterate what’s happening in Piddington.

They want to put 1250 illegal migrants next to a village of just 350 people. Outnumbered.

They are free to roam, come and go as they please.

They are also ALL men. No women or children.

No consultation. Disgrace.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Could somebody show this to Lenny Henry

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

What has happened to towns who did nothing to deserve it, like little Piddington village, will happen to all of Britain, unless there is fundamental political change.

It’s not right. Not right at all.

HUGE GROK PERFORMANCE 🚨

Built a full Unity space combat game with Grok Build + Grok 4.5 all in C#.

CLI agents. MCP into the editor. Batchmode builds.

I didn’t know Unity. I wrote zero code.

Full walkthrough 👇
Audio on. I break down the build 🔊

Grok tutorial is huge. Many people don't know where to begin. If we want to democratize coding, we have to show people how to start.

The globalist head of The Economist thinks that it's "far right" to want secure borders and legal immigration.

If that's true, then this 2009 Chuck Schumer speech on immigration is one of the most far right speeches ever made.
