Latest / Elon Musk Thinking / Conversation with Elon Musk and Satya Nadella at Microsoft Build 2025.
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Lon for being here at build.
- 0:03Speaker 1: I know you started off as an intern at Microsoft,
- 0:06Speaker 1: you were a Windows developer, and of course you're a
- 0:08Speaker 1: big PC gamer. Still, you want to just talk about
- 0:11Speaker 1: you in your early days with Windows and the kinds
- 0:15Speaker 1: of things you build.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Yeah, well, actually started before Windows with us. I had
- 0:20Speaker 2: one of the early IBM PCs with MS DOS and
- 0:26Speaker 2: I think I had like a one hundred and twenty eight
- 0:28Speaker 2: K in the beginning, and then at double T two
- 0:30Speaker 2: fifty six K, which felt like a liar, so I yeah,
- 0:34Speaker 2: pro programmed video games indus and then in Windows remember
- 0:41Speaker 2: Windows three point one.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's wonderful. I mean even at the last
- 0:46Speaker 1: time I chatted with you, you were talking all about everything,
- 0:49Speaker 1: the intricacies of active directory, and so it's fantastic to
- 0:53Speaker 1: have you at our developer conference. Obviously, the exciting thing
- 0:56Speaker 1: for us is to be able to launch grock on Azure.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I know you have a deep vision for what AI
- 1:03Speaker 1: needs to be, and that's what got you to get
- 1:05Speaker 1: this billed. It's a family of models that are both
- 1:08Speaker 1: response and reasoning models, and you have a very exciting roadmap.
- 1:11Speaker 1: You want to just tell us a little bit about
- 1:13Speaker 1: sort of your vision the capability you're pushing on both
- 1:16Speaker 1: capability and efficiency, So maybe you can just talk about
- 1:19Speaker 1: a little bit of that.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Sure. So yeah, with with GROC, especially with Rock three
- 1:23Speaker 2: point five that is about to be released, it's it's
- 1:27Speaker 2: trying to reason from first principles, so apply kind of
- 1:30Speaker 2: the the tools of physics to thinking. So if you're
- 1:35Speaker 2: trying to get to fundamental truths, you you try you
- 1:39Speaker 2: boil things down to the axiomatic elements that are most
- 1:41Speaker 2: likely to be correct, and then you reason up from there,
- 1:44Speaker 2: and then you can test your conclusions against those axiomatic elements.
- 1:47Speaker 2: And you know, in physics, if if you violate conservation
- 1:50Speaker 2: of energy or momentum, then you're either going to get
- 1:53Speaker 2: a Nobel price or you're you're wrong, and you're certainly
- 1:56Speaker 2: wrong basically. So so the the that's really the focus
- 2:01Speaker 2: of Rock three point five is uh, sort of I
- 2:05Speaker 2: find a fundamental physics and applying physics tools across all
- 2:10Speaker 2: lines of reasoning and to aspire to truth with minimal error.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Like there's always gonna be some mistakes that are made,
- 2:19Speaker 2: but we aim to get to truth with acknowledged error,
- 2:25Speaker 2: but minimize that error over time, and I think that's
- 2:29Speaker 2: actually extremely important for AI safety. So I've put a
- 2:33Speaker 2: lot for a long time about AI safety and wealth.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Book conclusion is the old maximum that honesty is the
- 2:39Speaker 2: best policy. It really really is for safety. But any
- 2:45Speaker 2: want to have size. You know, we we haven't will
- 2:48Speaker 2: make mistakes, but we aspire to correct them very quickly,
- 2:51Speaker 2: and we are very much looking forward to feedback from
- 2:53Speaker 2: the developer community to say like, what do you need?
- 2:56Speaker 2: Where are we wrong? Cocker, we make it better, and
- 2:59Speaker 2: to have Rock be something that the developer community community
- 3:04Speaker 2: is very excited to use and where they can feel
- 3:06Speaker 2: that their feedback is being heard and GROCK is improving
- 3:12Speaker 2: and serving their need.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's in some sense, you know, cracking
- 3:16Speaker 1: the physics of intelligence is perhaps the real goal for
- 3:21Speaker 1: us to be able to use AI at scale, and
- 3:24Speaker 1: so it's so good to you know, take that first
- 3:26Speaker 1: principle's approach that you and your team are taking. And
- 3:29Speaker 1: also you're deploying this. I mean one of the things
- 3:31Speaker 1: about sort of what you do is you're doing you know,
- 3:34Speaker 1: unsupervised FSD on one side, you're doing robotics. Of course
- 3:38Speaker 1: there's Rock. You're deploying Rock across all of your businesses,
- 3:41Speaker 1: from SpaceX to Tesla. Obviously at X, I would love
- 3:45Speaker 1: to even you know, one of the themes for this
- 3:47Speaker 1: developer conference, Elan is we're building pretty sophisticated AI apps. Right,
- 3:52Speaker 1: It's not even about any one model. It's about orchestrating
- 3:55Speaker 1: multiple models, multiple agents, just anything that you're seeing in
- 4:00Speaker 1: the real world application side, even inside of your own companies.
- 4:04Speaker 1: When you think about even a Tesla or a space
- 4:06Speaker 1: X where you put grock and needs the other AI
- 4:09Speaker 1: models you're building.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Yeah, it's incredibly important for a model to be grounded
- 4:14Speaker 2: in reality reality. You know, I was saying, which is
- 4:19Speaker 2: like like physics is the low and everything else is
- 4:20Speaker 2: the recommendation. Which is I'm not suggesting people break but
- 4:23Speaker 2: the laws made by you know, humans. Uh, you know,
- 4:27Speaker 2: we should generally avail laws of humans. But but I've
- 4:31Speaker 2: seen many people break human made laws, but I have
- 4:34Speaker 2: not seen anyone break the loads of physics. So for
- 4:38Speaker 2: for any given AI grounding it against reality and reality.
- 4:43Speaker 2: For example, as you mentioned with with the car, it
- 4:45Speaker 2: needs to drive safely and correctly. Uh, the human raid
- 4:49Speaker 2: robot optimist needs to perform the task that that that
- 4:53Speaker 2: it's being asked to perform these These are things that
- 4:57Speaker 2: are very very helpful for issuing that the model is
- 5:01Speaker 2: crucial and accurate because it has to adhere to the
- 5:04Speaker 2: loads of physics. So so I think that's actually maybe
- 5:08Speaker 2: so some somewhat overlooked or at least not talked about
- 5:11Speaker 2: it enough. Is that to really be intelligent, it's it's
- 5:15Speaker 2: got to make predictions that are in line with reality.
- 5:18Speaker 2: In other words, physics. That's that's it's a really fund
- 5:21Speaker 2: metal thing and and being able to ground that with
- 5:25Speaker 2: the cars and robots is very important. We are seeing
- 5:29Speaker 2: Grock be very helpful in things like customer service, and
- 5:34Speaker 2: you know that the AI is infinitely patient and apparently
- 5:37Speaker 2: and you can yell at it and it's still going
- 5:38Speaker 2: to be very nice. Uh So that's good. Yeah, And
- 5:43Speaker 2: so so I think in terms of improving the quality
- 5:47Speaker 2: of customer service and sort of issue resolution, AI's were
- 5:52Speaker 2: already uh Grock is already doing quite a good job
- 5:55Speaker 2: that at SpaceX and Tesla, and and we look forward
- 5:59Speaker 2: to like offering that to other companies.
- 6:02Speaker 1: No, that's fantastic, Really thrilled to get this journey started,
- 6:06Speaker 1: getting that developer feedback and then looking forward to even
- 6:09Speaker 1: how they deployed. There is these language models, there's you know,
- 6:13Speaker 1: I think over time we will have this coming together
- 6:15Speaker 1: of language models with vision with action, but to your point,
- 6:19Speaker 1: being really grounded on a real world model, and that
- 6:22Speaker 1: I think is ultimately the goal here. And so thank
- 6:25Speaker 1: you so much Eland for briefly joining us today. And
- 6:27Speaker 1: we're really excited about working with you and getting this
- 6:30Speaker 1: into the developers' hands.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you very much. And I can't empsize
- 6:33Speaker 2: enough that we're looking for feedback from you that develop
- 6:36Speaker 2: an audience. Tell us what you want and we'll make
- 6:39Speaker 2: it happen. Thank you,
