Elon Musk has launched a new AI company called xAI with the goal of understanding the true nature of the universe. The team at xAI includes AI researchers who have worked at companies like OpenAI, Google, Microsoft and DeepMind. Little is known about xAI currently except that Musk seeks funding from SpaceX and Tesla to start it. The xAI team plans to host a Twitter Spaces discussion on July 14th to introduce themselves. xAI is separate from Musk’s X Corp but will work closely with his other companies like Tesla and Twitter.

    The difference is that somehow the nets in our brains are creating emergent behaviour while the nets in code, even with a lot more power aren’t. I feel we are probably missing something pivotal in constructing them.

      I’m not so sure we’re missing that much personally, I think it’s more just sheer scale, as well as the complexity of the input and output connections (I guess unlike machine learning networks, living things tend to have a much more ‘fuzzy’ sense of inputs and outputs). And of course sheer computational speed; our virtual networks are basically at a standstill compared to the paralellism of a real brain.

      Just my thoughts though!
