Elon’s Vision of AGI: A CTO’s Translation of TruthGPT

“I’m going to start something called TruthGPT – a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe.” — Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson Interview, 2023 Elon Musk says he's building a truth-seeking AI. Not just another chatbot. Not a hype product. But an agent that seeks truth. That might sound like sci-fi. But for those of us building AI systems, this isn't just philosophy — it's a question of architecture. In this video, we decode Elon’s vision through a CTO lens: ✅ What does it mean for an AI to be curious? ✅ Can you really "align" an agent with truth? ✅ And how do you encode a reward function that doesn't hallucinate?
