Hey, Musk, you know whatās another word for āfuture light coneā? Itās āfutureā. I promise that the extra two words do not make you sound smarter.

I think heās trying to say the same thing Steve Jobs already said, but in a way that makes him feel edgy.
I think one of the things that really separates us from the high primates is that weāre tool builders. I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. And, humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing, about a third of the way down the list. It was not too proud a showing for the crown of creation. So, that didnāt look so good. But, then somebody at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle. And, a man on a bicycle, a human on a bicycle, blew the condor away, completely off the top of the charts.
And thatās what a computer is to me. What a computer is to me is itās the most remarkable tool that weāve ever come up with, and itās the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.

What a boring mind Steve Jobs was really.
What everyday insights he actually had.
And Iāve only read hagiographic accounts of his life.

Kick him out already. Itās very much like retracting a paper when it becomes apparent that data or a methodology was flawed after all, things like that. Scientific progress isnāt possible without acknowledging mistakes and correcting them.

Thatās funny, because I heard that a guy with no previous automotive experience whatsoever is running the entire company.

Thatās not entirely correct. He crashed his McLaren.
(With Peter Thiel in it to boot. Karma, get in here. Youāve got some 'splaining to do.)

Itās an interesting quote, because on the one hand, itās utterly vapid nonsense using words intended to make it look smart and scientific, but on the other hand, if you wrangle it into making some sort of sense, itās still incredibly stupid. AI doesnāt use or increase neurotransmitters. Even if it did, increasing the amount of neurotransmitters doesnāt make anything smarter. As Charles Stross puts it:
In any case, it occurs to me that you could plausibly maximize neurotransmitter tonnage by intensive farming of maggots or earthworms (most species use the same repertoire of neurotransmitters), neither of which are noteworthy for their production of Brain Geniuses colonizing the galaxy.
