He also suggests that Tesla and SpaceX have learned that simplicity and fundamental insights often outperform overcomplication. By simplifying the approach to AI and focusing on understanding, we may accelerate progress toward AGI—which could be achieved within the next five years according to Musk.
The Role of Computation, Self-Generated Content, and Autonomy
Musk foresees a future where AI systems generate their own content, pseudoscience, or even new scientific insights through self-play and self-assessment, similar to AlphaZero in chess or AlphaGo in Go. This self-reinforced learning loop would facilitate rapid advancement, minimizing the need for external labeled data.
