Elon Musks problems are bigger and more important than yours.

It typically goes something like this: some experts think these technologies may take longer to mature.
Heres why:
AIs mapping problem
When we talk about amapping problemwe dont mean Google Maps.
Were referring to the idea that maps themselves cant possible by one-to-one representations of a given area.
Any map automatically suffers from severe data loss.
On a map, you just see a tiny representation of the immense reality.
When we train a deep learning system to understand something, we have to feed it data.
This is the biggest problem in AI.
We can all pointto the statisticsand shriek Autopilot is safer than unaugmented human driving!
And the exact same problem applies to Neuralink, but at a much larger scale.
Experts believe there are more than100 billion neurons in the human brain.
Despite what Elon Musk may have recently tweeted, we dont even have a basic map of those neurons.
Replacing faulty/missing neurons with circuits is the right way to think about it.
Many problems can be solved just bridging signals between existing neurons.
So how do you train an AI to model brain activity?
So, youd need a button for everything.
Elons money is no good here
Robots dont care how rich you are.
When DeepMind was founded its purpose was not to win chess or Go games.
Its purpose wasto create an AGI.
Itsthe same with GPT-3and just about any other multimodal AI system being developed today.
Whether he candeliver on the goodsor nothas no impact on the amount of worship he receives.
