    Interesting thread on Project Dojo:
    Project Dojo

    This discusses what I thought could be just the initial version of Dojo. It occurred to me that Elon could be thinking bigger (following the simple task of making Teslas autonomous...). Other possibilities:
    1. Google alternative
    2. Openai competitor (Elon removed himself for a reason?)
    3. Neuralink input / output
    4. Self learning capability
    5. Tesla insurance (see comment below from Fact Checking)
    Could Project Dojo encompass 10,000 FSD computers - a net of neural nets? Could you throw Youtube at it and it learns how to speak 100 languages with little or no training?

    And another interesting comment in another thread:

    FSD Dymaxion: [ FSD cluster computer system with Neural Net Machine Learning ]

    Dymaxion
    is a term that Buckminster Fuller associated with much of his work—prominently his Dymaxion house and Dymaxion car. Dymaxion, a portmanteau of the words dynamic, maximum, and tension; [1] sums up the goal of his study, "maximum gain of advantage from minimal energy input."[2]

    inspired by @Buckminster :confused:

    Elon again confirmed that Dojo will be available to be used by third parties to train their video neural nets.
    Also 10x better than any other training computer.

    Mr. Uujjj worked at a machine learning chip startup which was working on a very large computer for training neural nets. (This company has since emerged from stealth and got quite a lot of hype.) Elon Musk visited us as a prospective customer. Apparently Elon Musk was interested in buying us, but decided against it due to the price, and started an internal project at Tesla to build its own training machine.
