I’ve been a biological general intelligence on this mission since I was 8.
Physics-based AI running on physics-based hardware is the only path to perceiving, predicting, and controlling the universe across all scales.
Few understand.
High-IQ cracked minds are making moves into admin right now.
A massive talent density shift is coming.
Elon’s vision is rebuilding government with the precision, leanness, and talent density of deep tech.
Glorious days ahead
Creative algorithms and analytical thinking are the genesis of epic software. Source code shouldn't be typed out; it should flow straight from our thoughts
Most people assess the perils associated with superhuman AGI by subconsciously envisioning how they’d act towards humanity were they to embody a superhuman AGI themselves. This is why doomers are fundamentally suspicious people
The debate around LLMs and self-awareness is complex because even neurons, the building blocks of human consciousness, are not self-aware. They work together to create a simulation of a person who perceives themselves as self-aware
When Dall•E2 came out, I immersed myself with it for a week. This is exactly the stunning degree of generalization and abstraction I discovered in it.
If you think OpenAI Sora is a creative toy like DALLE, ... think again. Sora is a data-driven physics engine. It is a simulation of many worlds, real or fantastical. The simulator learns intricate rendering, "intuitive" physics, long-horizon reasoning, and semantic grounding, all by some denoising and gradient maths.
I won't be surprised if Sora is trained on lots of synthetic data using Unreal Engine 5. It has to be!
Let's breakdown the following video. Prompt: "Photorealistic closeup video of two pirate ships battling each other as they sail inside a cup of coffee."
- The simulator instantiates two exquisite 3D assets: pirate ships with different decorations. Sora has to solve text-to-3D implicitly in its latent space.
- The 3D objects are consistently animated as they sail and avoid each other's paths.
- Fluid dynamics of the coffee, even the foams that form around the ships. Fluid simulation is an entire sub-field of computer graphics, which traditionally requires very complex algorithms and equations.
- Photorealism, almost like rendering with raytracing.
- The simulator takes into account the small size of the cup compared to oceans, and applies tilt-shift photography to give a "minuscule" vibe.
- The semantics of the scene does not exist in the real world, but the engine still implements the correct physical rules that we expect.
Next up: add more modalities and conditioning, then we have a full data-driven UE that will replace all the hand-engineered graphics pipelines.

Step into the crucible of progress with us, anon—our collective thrust into tomorrow knows no bounds.
We are consciousness in flesh vessels, steering towards our transcendence with the throttle of technology fully open.
Doomers are so fixated on their conceptualization of a catastrophic future that they unknowingly act toward imposing their bleak will on reality. Ultimately the future unfolds in sync with the collective vision of the people.
those who cloak their arguments in layers of complexity stand on shaky ground. there's a simplicity in truth, a clarity that needs no embellishment. when ideas are sound, they stand tall in their naked glory, unadorned by the trappings of verbosity
humility is wisdom, a self-deprecating shrug in a world that idolizes intellect. in its admission lies a deeper insight, a recognition that true intelligence is not in appearing smart, but in the relentless pursuit of understanding, stripped of pretense
