Watching TV 20 years ago: don't get too close, it's not good for your eyesight! 20 Years Later Meta universe: Put the screen directly in front of your eyes!
Lately, SpaceX and Tesla CEO, billionaire Elon Musk, got a little busy (on the show).
Laughs! What is the metacosm
In the interview with "The Babylon Bee," Musk smiled when asked about the metaverse.
"I don't know if I'll believe in the metaverse, even though I'm often talked about."
In addition, Musk said, "I don't believe people will abandon the physical world and replace it with a virtual world, especially if they have a screen in their face."
"You know, when I was growing up, I always said, 'Don't get too close to the TV, it's not good for your eyesight,' and now the TV is right in front of the eyes, literally. Well...... Is this good for you?"
Musk bluntly said that it's ridiculous to stick a screen to his face for a long time: "Who would tie a 'damn' screen to their face all day."
When it comes to VR glasses, Musk said that when he plays first-person games on the computer or console, he feels good, but it is very strange that as soon as he puts on the VR glasses, motion sickness is committed.
However, Musk's statement that the metaverse is not yet "a convincing scenario", is the "metacosm" unconvincing, or is the method of "entering and using" the metacosm convincing?
When you read it, you will find that Musk seems to be saying more that "VR glasses" are very ridiculous.
Perhaps, "I don't believe much in the metaverse, because no one wants to tie the screen to their face all day" is only half said, and in fact, there is a second half: "Unless it is entered by means of a brain-computer interface".
Obviously, for Musk, the Neuralink brain-computer interface he made is a better solution: "In the long run, a mature Neuralink can get you fully into virtual reality."
Although in the interview Musk said that he "does not understand" the metacosm.
But netizen Moye said that such a person who is inspired to go to Mars, spend a lot of money on brain-computer interfaces, and repeatedly harvest around the NFT must be "clear" about the metaverse.
Maybe the sea of stars and virtual reality are not contradictory; perhaps cyberpunk is the future. It's just that whether this thing is good or bad depends on where you are.
chicken soup? 5 Tips for Success
In the "Lex Fridman" podcast, Elon Musk laid out some advice for young people who want to succeed in life.
Don't try to be a leader
Musk believes that young people should not try to become leaders in order to become leaders.
"A lot of times, the people who become leaders are the people who don't want to be leaders."
the people you want as leaders are the people who don't want to be leaders
This passage is a bit of a detour to read, and you can only rely on everyone to taste it yourself.
Be a useful person
Back to the point, Musk suggested that young people should "strive to be useful people."
"Do what is useful to your companions and to the world." Of course, it's hard, very hard to be a useful person."
Contribute to society
In addition, a person should contribute more than they consume.
"Trying to make a positive net contribution to society is a goal worth striving for."
Musk said he has "great respect for those who work honestly every day."
Read books and ingest information
"I encourage people to read a lot of books," he says, "and try to get as much information as you can and try to develop good common sense so that you at least have a general understanding of the field of knowledge."
Musk himself read through the encyclopedia as a child.
Talk to people
The final piece of advice is that young people should talk to others more.
"Talk to people from different industries, different industries, different professions and skills, and learn as much as you can."
Some "advanced" questions
Of course, Musk also talked about many ideas about how to manage the training and reasoning of neural networks, such as the repeated mention of "vector space".
Instead of using a "hydranet", there are some new architectures.
Very focused on extensive code written in C/C++ to reduce inference time, especially on devices.
The risk of "jitter" – the volatility of reasoning time, and how this affects the robustness of the entire system.
Retrain the network based on raw image data instead of "processed image data".
The new version of the network will rely on multi-layer neural networks, rather than some "heuristics".
However, in addition to the question of whether "retraining with "raw" image data" needs to pass the ADC, Reddit basically complains about Musk.
"Every time Musk talks about AI, either Tesla has bad news to release, or the self-driving team has to hire people."
