This quote is true until such time the AI will achieve Super Intelligence in which case it will be able to seek and find the absolute truths. Lets hope we don't destroy ourselves in the meantime.
Elon Musk Decision Algorithm: 1) Make requirements less dumb 2) Try to delete steps (we need to delete more than we need and then put it back in) 3) Try to simplify or optimise it 4) Any given thing can be sped up 5) Automate it
Not a bad way to go about it. Engineers tend to fall in love with the technology itself, not the problem they're solving or the solution. Over-engineering is one of the most common pitfalls.
Lex does a great interview. He is smart, understands technical and philosophic concepts and can challenge and push back on his guest all while being super respectful. Great job 👍
@@user-pt1kj5uw3bso now anyone that chooses to enact upon ambition is a sycophant? You should probably take a look closer to home and wonder why you are not moving up before trying to drag others down to your level.
He is also himself very smart and very talented in a lot of different areas, so its easy for lex to move around different types of expertise categories comfortably and not look like he is a fish out of water.
Especially about a technology that is not yet(maybe never) complettly understood. A statement several AI experts currently are still holding. We have approaches to remedy that, but it takes time for them to come to fruition and having market pressures urge companies to be the first and win, could turn out counterproductiv. Already economists warn about a bubble where 500 billion were invested in a short period of time while maybe 10 billion in revenues are flowing. So many are stepping up their AI game, which in terms of competion may seem a good thing, but are they all going about it in a safe and secure fashion? The military and its equipment has very tough restrictions on how programmes need to be coded and i think AI companies need to have at least such strict regulations for the building of AI systems.

@@arab6745he was asked which he admired Edison or Tesla more? He responded Edison. I was genuinely surprised because I thought of Elon as a dreamer. His reason is because Edison was a better marketer. At first, this I minded, but when I thought of actual achievements, Edison did far more while Tesla was a genius. To humanity, Edison was more helpful. I don't know if Tesla was not stopped. He should have done something to protect himself. IMO. By the above reasoning, I understand why you don't like the I'm, but it made me understand his motivation more. What I find more interesting is that while his short term goals change all the time as technology is always changing, his long term goal never changed. In my opinion, his ability to market is part of him like it or not. I don't think it is a bad thing. I think being able to persuade people to try new is incredibly hard thing to do. I appreciate the skill.
@@arab6745 We all lie, first of all. If you really think about it, who lies more? the media? The government? Even doctors and hospitals. His lies....yes, I guess one would think so. I would like to you to think, are his lies are about things that had never been done? What about the other timelines? Like the ones that have been done and repeated? He is setting unrealistic goals to follow so that he can speed up. He is always late. Perpetual delayer, but always first timer. I forgive him for that reason. I can't call it a lie because he believes that it is not a lie.

If we armed and equipped the estimated 50 million kangaroos in Australia, they would form a massive force. To put this into perspective, the largest active military force in the world is China, with around 2.3 million active personnel. With 50 million kangaroos, this hypothetical army would be significantly larger than any current military force. In terms of sheer numbers, it would be the largest “army” in the world by a considerable margin.
Lex you are a brilliant interviewer and I’m so grateful to be able to soak in your discourse with my all time hero, Elon Musk. In addition to Elon’s extraordinary intelligence he is a “force for good.” To seek the truth is so important as we move into the realization of SuperAI….wow! Thank you, Lex!

Many people that interview Elon struggle to extract a coherent and well formatted output from him, or just fail to get him on topic entirely but this is gold. Perhaps it's just Lex unbreakable calmness but I rarely see Elon stay so on topic for this length of time, it makes for great viewing.
Don't think that most people really understand what Tesla is. Most of the folks who listen to Lex do, but that accounts for the minority of the folks who own Tesla stock. I've tried to explain it to investor friends and they tout headlines rather than evidence, claiming anecdotes like "Company X is closer to getting higher level autonomy clearance", or other non correlated data. They don't realize the immense training data that Tesla's AI ecosystem has been building since 2013ish, and that's even if they comprehend that Tesla is a spatial AI and robotics company and not an automotive company in the first place. Elon has somehow been able to get his hands on and innovate on pretty much every area of the global economy.
Elon, you can eliminate motors from arms by using electric powered magnets versus springs. Springs force fingers to be extended. Increased voltage amplifies magnet to curl the fingers. Entire system connects to wrist via kettle rotator, allowing infinite wrist rotation and delicate finger control simultaneously.
My thoughts on your idea... Magnets could interfere or damage objects the hands need to interact with (ie causing it to get stuck or bent from magnetism, storage mediums getting corrupted by the magnets). Magnets could also be load rating weaker than cables. Magnets could increase the bulk in the hand making it larger and reducing dexterity. Musk did speak about having motors in the hand original but the two last points I mentioned being obstructions they needed to overcome after the first prototype.
Interesting concept, but magnets and springs probably wouldn’t be able to handle something like Super Heavy, which is already 200 metric tons and will only get heavier. They’d likely struggle with the power and precision needed, plus the heat buildup would be a big issue. Motors and hydraulics are just better suited for handling that kind of massive load.
In the movie “terminator 2: judgement day” there were scenes with ample emphasis on the T-800’s robotic arm. Seemingly correlates with Elon’s response in this interview wrt Tesla’s Optimus humanoid engineering focus
12:37 : It is so clear now why elon decided to fire the Supercharger team. The department head resisted laying off any employees, which to Elon, indicated that the team was immediately overstaffed. As a result, he fired everyone to rebuild up.
*"It is clear now why Elon says he decided" Fixed for ya. The Lex / Elon sections get very aholelicking so it's important we keep some feet in the real world.
@@darin4704 Possibly. But if you are looking to do what Tesla is doing with an extremely competitive and really expensive path to get there, one of the management philosophies is to stay lean and constantly reassess the need for personnel in specific areas and who is valuable and who is not. It is harsh, but if a person can even get in 3 to 5 years of experience at Tesla or SpaceX or any company doing huge things and they get laid off, that is a very strong thing to have on a resume. This is aggressive management 101. He as revolutionized several industries so far and has many thousands of applications to his companies all the time so it must be working
In the body modification world some people amputate their little fingers because they think it looks cute. I wonder how many of them regret it? I've got big holes in my earlobes and tattoos but chopping off body parts seems a little unnecessary to me. At least they aren't grooming children into doing it though.
xD in middle aged europe/asia they cut fingers of expected criminals so they couldn't use their weapons. Thats one reason why showing someone the middle finger is still seen as an offence in most countries.
I think the focus should be on deduction rather than "truth". Mathematically speaking there is no absolute truth, all truths are either 1. derived from other truths by implication 2. Tautologies 3. Axiomatic. There only reason there appears to be absolute truths in physics is because there are certain things which are axiomatic to our existence, that is, if they weren't true, you wouldn't exist. So when you ask the questions, there are axioms from which other truths can be derived. But a la Godel, there are also true statements which cannot be proven from the axioms. As Elon says, we can *aspire* for truth and we should but that's the best we can do. And any super intelligence would know that. If we want to avoid long term idiocracy, the general public needs to learn to appreciate the subtleties of logical deduction, and when an AI gives an answer to a question it should list all the assumptions and deductions it used to arrive there. Each individual logical step, just as a mathematician would when presenting a formal proof.
"mathematically speaking"??? Musk points out very specific examples of untruths that are currently being perpetrated in current society that are wrong and harmful to humanity. No need to complicated any further with "mathematics"
@@dcarlisle123 musk plucks out several ideologies that he enjoys fearmongering over in his right wing echo chambers because he doesn't understand the fact that all data has IMPLICIT bias, for which he confuses his own IDEOLOGICAL biases. he literally doesn't understand how data collection and logic work, and it shows.
@ by using Tesla's patents, you can't prevent them from using any patents you register. That essentially means that in return for Tesla's patents, they get all of yours. That's a tradeoff that a LOT of companies are not willing to make.
I think certain technological advancements, such as AGI, should be developed outside of the capitalistic structure and should be a globally collaborative and beneficial effort.
Humanity couldn't even begin to debate exactly who should/could work on such a project. Development of AGI is extremely political and deeply militaristic in nature. We would either go to war over it, or just never get anywhere, while everyone develops in secret. This technology can only bring us closer to the abyss.
A partnership could be formed between the best universities in the world, in regards to computer science, physics, philosophy, etc. I think a conflict such as a war would create a great sense of unity for this project. unfortunately/fortunately there is no outside factions for humans to compete with in this pursuit so the competition has to be between ourselves which will lead to inequality, as the group to figure it out will not willingly share it for free. Ultimately this technology, like the exploitation of the atom, will be developed unless we lose the ability to develop it. I just hope precautions are taken to avoid social and economic disasters.
I don't trust anyone as much as I trust Elon in this space, I don't think you want China to have a hand in how world altering technology is implemented in the US
Wow, you did it again, Lex. You revealed the genius of the greatest engineer of all time, Elon Musk, in a way we can all understand. Thank you, Lex. You are the best.
It's never wasted effort if both sides reinvent and upscale learn adapt then next meeting or cycle is much more understood and appreciated with 10 more time opportunities for both sides.

@armadasinterceptor2955 it does make sense. Some fields of physics already use large nets and target them to only understand, turbulence control, 3-Body-Problem, manufacturing at quantum level, or atom-core-clocks. Those nets are not as big as chat-gpt, as mankind is far more interested in chatting than astro or nuclear physics. There are also applications in math, but i don't understand their problems.
Are you sure about that? What about power, metal, silicon, deleting human so the world stays colder and every electrical systems rus more efficient ... Well last point is a bit extreme, but power and silicon production sure is relevant.
@darkness1130 how can outweigh the benefits? Our skeletal structure is capable of many things. It will intact open the door to many improvements. I mean, we are the blueprints. there is no need to waste time on design. Manufacturing would be not a problem at all.
So one of the most innovative companies the world has ever known is struggling to reengineer the human hand by “intelligent design” yet we teach our kids the actual human hand evolved thru random genetic mutations.
For all the Elon hatters, people who love Elon, do so because its clear he is a hands on engineer who has become a CEO and runs his company's hands on. And there is little more inspiring than having your leaders down in the trenches with you. Sometimes his motivation does not align with being nice. Being nice is not how major human technology succeeds.
I still not able to understand how they're struggling to construct a robot duplicating the functioning of human body yet they discovered a electronic device that can able to merge along with one of the most mysterious, not fully studied organ in human body BRAIN.
Our muscles work a bit different, then the motor devices we have now. weight, power, precision...still hard for a machine, even with a price as big as Tesla for one prototype.
0:34 When Musk says "by the end of this year", it's like those cartoons where the criminal leaves their little notes and clues for the detectives. Facing fraud charges and still uttering the exact same phrase is legendary
Wow Hate much? Dude’s companies have connected a guys brain to a computer. His other company invented the electric car industry. His other company has Rockets that land on barges in the ocean and take astronauts to space. And you’re here casting shade like he’s such a loser. Your panties twisted because he supports free speech and maybe doesn’t agree with your political opinions? He’s allowed his opinion just like you and if you knew anything about him you would understand that he’s simply trying to push humanity into a better future.
"OK that's why you have to put the actuators in the forearm" should have been "OK, understand now why G_d put the actuators in the forearm". G_d is the best engineer in the universe. He is the creator's creator.
Toyota, KUKA, Miso, Philips Medical, Hanson, Shadow Robot. There are at least 2 dozen companies holding very strong know-how about humanoid systems like the hand. And most of them you haven't even heard of even if you are working in the field.
Every model xai has put out has been subpar. Vastly undertrained. Haven’t solved any of the inherent limitations. Pure scale isn’t all you need. This is pure ego and cap.
I wouldn't write them off. The company was hobbled together very, very quickly and the models they've released so far weren't trained with that much compute. I think k we'll have a clearer picture of things when Grok 2 and 3 come out later this year.
I'd say 10 years. Many companies have already unveiled robots that do most household chores with demos. They just need to be trained more extensively before being fully released.
this is not zero sum game. elon sometimes is incredibly out of phase. he wants to win or to prove to everybody, that he is megasuper duper smart, that his solution is the best or his vision is the right one, while this is only showing off nothing more.
public personals tells what people want to hear, he tells things as they are with great understanding of any topic he speaks of. Too much of a meme lord for basic personas, he truly believes being himself is allowing him to win so that's what he does (and it really is working tho lol)
+ 0:07 you'v also said Play to win or don't play at all 4:37 until you came along and started building Optimus it was through to be an extremely difficult problem 9:35 The mantra
We know that unbridled curiosity is destructive, this is why scientists have to abide by ethics. Meanwhile, Elon: "Our AI is aligned to be maximally truth seeking, we have to win."
Hi Lex- can you please ask him how the entire waiting line disappeared on the Cybertruck where we are getting invited to pick up the car in October when we were supposed to be #250,000 and how there’s massive sell off of the Cybertruck on CarGurus at basically the purchase price?! This is starting to sound like some kind of shuffle. Good video though as always.
It's remarkable how passionate he is about high-tech engineering. Elon is truly the one entrepreneur capable of creating a robot like Optimus to become part of people's lives.

@@darin4704 Possibly. But if you are looking to do what Tesla is doing with an extremely competitive and really expensive path to get there, one of the management philosophies is to stay lean and constantly reassess the need for personnel in specific areas and who is valuable and who is not. It is harsh, but if a person can even get in 3 to 5 years of experience at Tesla or SpaceX or any company doing huge things and they get laid off, that is a very strong thing to have on a resume.
This is aggressive management 101. He as revolutionized several industries so far and has many thousands of applications to his companies all the time so it must be working

In the body modification world some people amputate their little fingers because they think it looks cute. I wonder how many of them regret it? I've got big holes in my earlobes and tattoos but chopping off body parts seems a little unnecessary to me. At least they aren't grooming children into doing it though.
your just not rad enof
damn phone keeps slipping from my hands..
They chop off more than there Little pinkies and they do let children do it.
No hate or judgement, but large holes in your earlobes didn't seem a little unnecessary?
xD in middle aged europe/asia they cut fingers of expected criminals so they couldn't use their weapons.
Thats one reason why showing someone the middle finger is still seen as an offence in most countries.

Thank you for your hard work and talent! I will always stand by you.
Elon Musk's laugh reminds me Beavis and Butthead
Grok, a good name. I read Stranger in a Strange Land when I was a teenager. It had a huge influence on me.
I think the focus should be on deduction rather than "truth". Mathematically speaking there is no absolute truth, all truths are either 1. derived from other truths by implication 2. Tautologies 3. Axiomatic. There only reason there appears to be absolute truths in physics is because there are certain things which are axiomatic to our existence, that is, if they weren't true, you wouldn't exist. So when you ask the questions, there are axioms from which other truths can be derived. But a la Godel, there are also true statements which cannot be proven from the axioms. As Elon says, we can *aspire* for truth and we should but that's the best we can do. And any super intelligence would know that. If we want to avoid long term idiocracy, the general public needs to learn to appreciate the subtleties of logical deduction, and when an AI gives an answer to a question it should list all the assumptions and deductions it used to arrive there. Each individual logical step, just as a mathematician would when presenting a formal proof.
"mathematically speaking"???
Musk points out very specific examples of untruths that are currently being perpetrated in current society that are wrong and harmful to humanity. No need to complicated any further with "mathematics"
@@dcarlisle123 musk plucks out several ideologies that he enjoys fearmongering over in his right wing echo chambers because he doesn't understand the fact that all data has IMPLICIT bias, for which he confuses his own IDEOLOGICAL biases. he literally doesn't understand how data collection and logic work, and it shows.
this is a great comment. it's sad that most people, including musk, will never understand it.

Elon wants to win. He sees the world through the lens of competition, not collaboration. He wins, everybody else loses.
Bro, he lets the tesla patent open.
@ by using Tesla's patents, you can't prevent them from using any patents you register. That essentially means that in return for Tesla's patents, they get all of yours. That's a tradeoff that a LOT of companies are not willing to make.
He’s the world’s best engineer. Period.

He definitely “hallucinates” facts far too often the way modern LLMs do.
He’s on the spectrum . You would know this if you were around this type

This pod looked and felt like AI to me off the get go. Very odd
Now you see why AI image generators struggled with hands.
who thought of the terminator hand reveal in the movie when they started talking about the hand...
They had the same design
I think certain technological advancements, such as AGI, should be developed outside of the capitalistic structure and should be a globally collaborative and beneficial effort.
Humanity couldn't even begin to debate exactly who should/could work on such a project.
Development of AGI is extremely political and deeply militaristic in nature.
We would either go to war over it, or just never get anywhere, while everyone develops in secret.
This technology can only bring us closer to the abyss.
A partnership could be formed between the best universities in the world, in regards to computer science, physics, philosophy, etc.
I think a conflict such as a war would create a great sense of unity for this project. unfortunately/fortunately there is no outside factions for humans to compete with in this pursuit so the competition has to be between ourselves which will lead to inequality, as the group to figure it out will not willingly share it for free.
Ultimately this technology, like the exploitation of the atom, will be developed unless we lose the ability to develop it. I just hope precautions are taken to avoid social and economic disasters.

there has to be 2 types of AI:
1. one for our trivia searches
2. one to self-learn so that it gets so smart it can teach us
Your idea doesn't make sense yet.
@@armadasinterceptor2955 Or ever.
@armadasinterceptor2955 it does make sense. Some fields of physics already use large nets and target them to only understand, turbulence control, 3-Body-Problem, manufacturing at quantum level, or atom-core-clocks. Those nets are not as big as chat-gpt, as mankind is far more interested in chatting than astro or nuclear physics.
There are also applications in math, but i don't understand their problems.
I lost my career because of DEI… I invested 36.72 years of my life in my career. Great…
Why is it a competition? AI and humans are not competing for the same resources.
Are you sure about that? What about power, metal, silicon, deleting human so the world stays colder and every electrical systems rus more efficient ...
Well last point is a bit extreme, but power and silicon production sure is relevant.
If Elon says it I believe it. His timelines might be off but he delivers time and time again. I don’t know how anyone can doubt him. 🚀
elon is very humble. he knows his competition is not to be joked with
Unless it comes to politics
You should lookup the meaning of humble in the dictionary
@@paulm3969 I was more speaking to the second sentence in that comment Paul
We don’t deserve him but we are lucky to have him.
@Elon Musk, why not use our skeletal structure on Optimus and then build around that?
No, dude. L take.
Interesting biomimicry concept..but the manufacturing complexity probably might outweigh the benefits..
@darkness1130 how can outweigh the benefits? Our skeletal structure is capable of many things. It will intact open the door to many improvements. I mean, we are the blueprints. there is no need to waste time on design. Manufacturing would be not a problem at all.
Elon: I don't try to optimize something that shouldn't exist
Learn from the greatest teacher of all... Nature.
So one of the most innovative companies the world has ever known is struggling to reengineer the human hand by “intelligent design” yet we teach our kids the actual human hand evolved thru random genetic mutations.
For all the Elon hatters, people who love Elon, do so because its clear he is a hands on engineer who has become a CEO and runs his company's hands on. And there is little more inspiring than having your leaders down in the trenches with you. Sometimes his motivation does not align with being nice. Being nice is not how major human technology succeeds.

I still not able to understand how they're struggling to construct a robot duplicating the functioning of human body yet they discovered a electronic device that can able to merge along with one of the most mysterious, not fully studied organ in human body BRAIN.

But still I feel neurones are highly complicated than muscles and tendons.
You need about halve a brain and the whole nervous system to control your body. Compared to that a interface seems rather simple.
Elon is a unique and an amazing guy. May GOD continue to protect and bless him.
0:34 When Musk says "by the end of this year", it's like those cartoons where the criminal leaves their little notes and clues for the detectives. Facing fraud charges and still uttering the exact same phrase is legendary
Remember when he announced he was building a robot and he brought out a guy in a robot costume on stage dancing to Skrillex? 😂
when elon gives a end date you know its almost always wrong.
He is always late to the party but the party almost never starts without him.
Wow Hate much? Dude’s companies have connected a guys brain to a computer. His other company invented the electric car industry. His other company has Rockets that land on barges in the ocean and take astronauts to space. And you’re here casting shade like he’s such a loser. Your panties twisted because he supports free speech and maybe doesn’t agree with your political opinions? He’s allowed his opinion just like you and if you knew anything about him you would understand that he’s simply trying to push humanity into a better future.
Reminds me of when my brother was renovating his house and he said for the good part of the whole year just two more weeks. Lol.
"OK that's why you have to put the actuators in the forearm" should have been "OK, understand now why G_d put the actuators in the forearm". G_d is the best engineer in the universe. He is the creator's creator.

They probably do. Implementation is a challenge AI cannot solve now

The more I hear engineers describe trying to replicate human form, the more I'm in awe of God and his creation.
The leaders right now are Boston dynamics, openAI and Nvidia.
Toyota, KUKA, Miso, Philips Medical, Hanson, Shadow Robot.
There are at least 2 dozen companies holding very strong know-how about humanoid systems like the hand. And most of them you haven't even heard of even if you are working in the field.
I haven't watched this but all I can say is of course xAI will win! Musk has an excellent record of successful ventures.
Elon: AI training data center lead to high stress on the electric grid and black outs.
Elon: Let’s build more AI training data centers 🎉
Is there a possibility to invest?
Every model xai has put out has been subpar. Vastly undertrained. Haven’t solved any of the inherent limitations. Pure scale isn’t all you need. This is pure ego and cap.
He’s gonna cap for the clout but those who know what’s up, understand that OpenAI have likely already reached some form of AGI.
You all understand the headstart the other companies had, right?
I wouldn't write them off. The company was hobbled together very, very quickly and the models they've released so far weren't trained with that much compute. I think k we'll have a clearer picture of things when Grok 2 and 3 come out later this year.

Hi Lex- can you please ask him how the entire waiting line disappeared on the Cybertruck where we are getting invited to pick up the car in October when we were supposed to be #250,000 and how there’s massive sell off of the Cybertruck on CarGurus at basically the purchase price?!
