Part 8/14:
Elon commented on Jeffrey Hinton’s views, which suggest that digital intelligences can “die” faster due to continuous upgrades, unlike biological brains which carry unique, non-replicable neurons. He also noted concerns that AI progress might be slowing despite increased compute resources, challenging the narrative that “bigger models” lead to rapid breakthroughs. Elon countered that intelligence scales logarithmically with compute, advocating for more integrated, multimodal models.
