AI Developments: From Coding to Autonomous Driving
On the AI front, Paul Graham weighed in on the success of AI-powered coding, noting that the source code for median apps was already mediocre before large language models (LLMs) arrived, making those models even more effective.
Elon also discussed Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, specifically version 14 (FSD14), which he considers more akin to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) than traditional language models. While acknowledging that wider deployment is delayed by issues like phantom braking and hesitant lane changes, Elon showed confidence that these problems will be resolved with future iterations.
