“@WholeMarsBlog Vision became so good that radar actually reduced SNR, so radar was turned off. Humans drive with eyes & biological neural nets, so makes sense that cameras & silicon neural nets are only way to achieve generalized solution to self-driving.”

“@TeslaClubWI Note, quality of experience can vary dramatically, as our neural nets have far more training data in some parts of the country than others, but this should improve rapidly with more driving in those regions.”
“@SP_LimitReviews @Tesla @CodingMark @Manic_Marge @teslainventory @WholeMarsBlog Lot of good work happening on Tesla sound codec & audio software in general. Aiming for maximum music dopamine in your brain!”
“@Model3Owners It’s a quintillion (10^18) floating point operations per second – enough to simulate a human brain”
“Neuralink company bar https://t.co/E9XICS5snk”
“@SamTwits @engineers_feed I’m so dying to do a supersonic vtol electric jet! But I already have way too much on my plate. Any more work and my brain will explode.”
“@ValaAfshar Even smaller to a @neuralink chip”
“@vincent13031925 Mind of car visualization will improve a lot in coming releases. Brightness/translucency indicate confidence of neural net in predicting any given object. Acid test is being able to assess with quick glance at screen if car fully understands environment.”
“@michilumin Sorry for any confusion. Dojo is a neural network training computer optimized for video (for self-driving). Unless there is a predictable pattern to hashing Scrypt (which we will not attempt to find), it will not be competitive with ASIC-based hashing. Potatoes are delicious!”
“@leastImAlive @PPathole Yeah, sold my houses, except for 1 in Bay Area that’s rented out for events. Working on sustainable energy for Earth with Tesla & protecting future of consciousness by making life multiplanetary with SpaceX. Also, AI risk mitigation with Neuralink & fixing traffic with Boring.”
“A major part of real-world AI has to be solved to make unsupervised, generalized full self-driving work, as the entire road system is designed for biological neural nets with optical imagers”
“@teslaownersSV FSD display V9.0 will show actual probability distribution of objects – true mind’s eye of the neural net. This is so cool!”
“@OwenSparks_ @AstroJordy @neuralink 🤣”
“@neuralink @shivon Great review! Neuralink is open to working with neuroscientists to advance the field. Short-term goal is addressing brain & spine problems. Ultimate goal is symbiosis of human & machine intelligence.”
“@teslaownersSV @neuralink Turns out 🐒 love video games & snacks just like us!”
“@mikevanbus @TrungTPhan @neuralink Pretty much”
“@Kyler_Knoll @neuralink Comes with wireless charging baseball cap”
“A monkey is literally playing a video game telepathically using a brain chip!!”
“@lexfridman @neuralink Yes”
“@IheartTesla Absolutely doable. Possibly as soon as Neuralink device version 2, highly likely by version 3.”
“Later versions will be able to shunt signals from Neuralinks in brain to Neuralinks in body motor/sensory neuron clusters, thus enabling, for example, paraplegics to walk again”
“First @Neuralink product will enable someone with paralysis to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone using thumbs”
“@IheartTesla @neuralink Hopefully, later this year”
“@jgrano305 Probably J&J, but BioNtech & Moderna are good too. Some debate imo as to whether a second synthetic mRNA shot is really needed, but the first is a no-brainer.”
“@summerlinARK It’s not really possible to match the human brain in 2021 for any amount of money imo, but it will be possible probably in a few years”
“Aspirationally acerbic alliteration -> Bullshit baffles brains”
“@hamoon__ @neuralink Neuralink is working super hard to ensure implant safety & is in close communication with the FDA. If things go well, we might be able to do initial human trials later this year.”
“If you’ve worked on advanced wearables, phones or robots, those skills are needed @neuralink”
“Please consider working at Neuralink! Short-term: solve brain/spine injuries Long-term: human/AI symbiosis Latter will be species-level important Work at either at our Bay Area or Austin locations”
“@Kristennetten @SpaceX @EliBurton_ @EvaFoxU @JaneidyEve @austinbarnard45 @ElonsBrain @JasoN7Patterson @AstroJordy @RenataKonkoly Pretty much”
“@ElonsWorld @Tesla @SpaceX @neuralink @boringcompany @EashanMisra That would probably mean civilization is doing great, although depends on assumptions for inflation haha”
“@Tesmanian_com Award accepted on behalf of the great people at Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink & Boring Co”
“@shifthappends @Tesla A lot of my brain space is spent dealing with both units!”
“@amyceskridge Neuralink won’t overclock the brain, it will transfer processing to the supercomputer extension of your brain. This is basically what you do when you use a smartphone or computer, but a Neuralink will have orders of magnitude faster input & output, especially latter.”
“@TesLatino Thanks to a great Autopilot/AI team working super hard! Doing “neural nets” without testing them against reality has led some groups to overestimate what they’re doing. Reality is the hardest sim.”
“@jwangARK Tesla FSD computer’s dual SoCs function like twin engines on planes — they each run different neural nets, so we do get full use of 144 TOPS, but there are enough nets running on each to allow the car to drive to safety if one SoC (or engine in this analogy) fails.”
“@samiralyateem @ID_AA_Carmack There are a lot of pointless zeroes in FP32 neural nets. You can chop off 16 of the 32 bits without losing meaningful precision. This works well with neural nets, but not with regular computing, which expects extreme precision.”
“@soumiksf @ID_AA_Carmack Dojo uses our own chips & a computer architecture optimized for neural net training, not a GPU cluster. Could be wrong, but I think it will be best in world.”
“A prior track record of exceptional achievement in engineering *is* required, but *no* prior experience working on the brain or human physiology is required. We will teach you what’s known about the brain, which is not much tbh.”
“If you feel Neuralink might have incorrectly overlooked your resume or declined to make an offer, please lmk in comment below”
“@cleantechnica Definitely not. Smartwatches & phones are yesterday’s technology, Neuralinks are the future.”
“@PPathole @IEEESpectrum @neuralink A nightcap would probably work best”
“@IEEESpectrum @neuralink Pretty much”
“Neuralink product demo in 3 hours. Webcast at https://t.co/Y9wREd78oj. http://neuralink.com”
“@flcnhvy @DJSnM Neuralink this month & Tesla next month, SpaceX probably October. We will have made a lot of progress by then. Might have a prototype booster hop done by then.”
“@flcnhvy @neuralink Yes, will show V2. Still far from LASIK, but could get pretty close in a few years.”
“Lengthy background on Neuralink by @waitbutwhy https://t.co/z2YfAupDRD https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html”
“Live webcast of working @Neuralink device Friday 3pm Pacific”
“@tomdestella I want to do electric vtol supersonic sooo bad, but my brain will overload”
“@flcnhvy @shravantr @Neuro_Skeptic Neuralinks are currently meant for mature brains & functionality is lost if removed. Rewiring of neurons is certainly possible, but won’t make up for loss of the Link.”
