What Elon Musk has said

By topic:Artificial Intelligence (11)

“The other supercompute projects are unable to reach their goals, but SpaceX is already achieving ours”
“My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will: 1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate. 2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority. 3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority. This would result in America becoming a perma…”
“This is a fuller list of the limitations of supercomputer buildout. If anything is missing, however seemingly trivial, the compute doesn’t work.”
“Grok @Bot is an incredible life & business manager. Can help you with almost anything! Like having a genius employee.”
“As crazy as this sounds, $1T in SpaceX revenue in 2028 is no longer impossible”
“So many people are going to get one-shotted by super persuasive super intelligences and I might be one of them”
“Grok @Bot can call restaurants by phone and book you a table”
“This works well. Screenshot of credit card is the easiest way, unless you want to fill out the secure vault data. Seems a bit silly to hand your credit card to people you don’t know at a restaurant, but not to Grok Bot.”
“Old friends are the best friends. Jensen rocks. The Star Mind computer being co-engineered by SpaceX and Nvidia is far better than almost anyone expects and will reach volume production next year. Working with the incredibly talented Nvidia engineering team is pure joy!”
“Starlink will be of great help to areas of India that have bad or no Internet and even no mobile coverage. No country has perfect coverage, including America, but Starlink can fill in the coverage gaps for those who most need it.”
“A sufficiently large quantity is a quality all its own. Big difference between bacteria with one cell and a human with 35 trillion cells, even though both are made of cells.”
“Grokipedia v0.3 just released. Join @SpaceXAI if you want to create Encyclopedia Galactica!”
