🛸 Elon Musk’s TruthGPT
A truth seeking AI to understand the meaning of the universe? Sounds a little scary to me. But a prompting question: Is this really possible?
This announcement is pretty timing after his call on a 6-month pause of AI. Furthermore, Musk recently had Twitter purchase thousands of GPUs. Is he planning something else at Twitter? Or is this for his grand vision of what is a “maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe”.

👾 Virtual World NeRF
NeRFs stands for Neural Radiance Fields, it is a technique that outputs 3D representations of objects or scenery based on 2D images as input. The core working of NeRFs relies on advanced machine learning techniques.
You might think the video below is from a drone flying throughout the house. Though in reality, it is not. It is a 3D virtual representation of the house, taken from many 2D images. This has potential to transform many industries, two being real estate and the gaming community.
It is possible for real estate agents to use this technology for virtual house tours. They already have this technology available, though it is both expensive and not as detailed as NeRFs. Putting together a virtual tour of a house using 2D images captured from a phone makes the process a lot easier and convenient.
In the gaming community, this could be used to play games within homes, neighborhoods, or even cities. Since NeRFs are digital, a simple process could be created to place them into game engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine. AI has allowed the possiblity for game development to absurdly expand.
Check out the video below👇
No. This is NOT a video filmed by a drone 🎥
It is a NeRF. A 3D virtual scan generated by 2D images
This makes VR and AR a whole lot more interesting👇
