These people are really too confident. They can't even make a good language model, but they still want to transform their brains. Are they crazy? ^~^ No matter how you modify or iterate the language model, it doesn't matter. But the human brain has only one thing, and once it is damaged, it is irreversible.

No Elon understands this deeply in my opinion. You should listen to lex freidmans latest interview with him on neuralink, you would think elon has a phd in the subject.

Do you have a PhD on the subject? And if not, what’s your opinion based on? It’s well-known that Musk consistently and confidently spews bullshit on subjects he doesn’t understand. It really became obvious to a lot of people when he took over Twitter and talked nonsense about its architecture and the reasons for the failures. Oh, and let’s not forget the genius idea of asking coders to print their code, and then telling them to shred what they had printed.

Ok your right my judgment could be flawed sure. But to say elon doesn't understand his companies deeply is pure stupidity. You do not take Tesla and SpaceX to the hights you have withouth understanding the underlying concepts deeply. Go spew your bullshit somewhere else.

And it wasn’t my argument. You can understand your company without understanding every intricacy of your products. A good example is Tim Cook, who understands operations but not design or programming (and doesn’t pretend to) and yet helms Apple. A company is not a single person, that’s why you hire.

Furthermore, I wasn’t rude or aggressive towards you, and would thus appreciate the same courtesy. Especially when you’re doing so from a place of misunderstanding. HN isn’t a community to lunge insults at each other.
