I watched this like 3 times because it is so mind blowing “This is a microprocessor, how did humans make this. How as human beings did we even come close to making something like this” He takes a microscope and keeps zooming:

@elonmusk This is not "under a microscope". There's no microscope that seamlessly magnifies in this manner.

Wondering what happens when AI is used? Here’s the answer 🙂

The answer is that we didn't. This Video is fake. It looks like somebody stitched three or four chip images together to make them seem orders of magnitude more complex and detailed than they really are. If you measure how much the camera zooms in, the smallest component depicted appears to be about 2 picometers wide, which is about 1,000 times smaller than the most sophisticated chips manufactured to date. In fact it's about 50 times smaller than anything could possibly be because atoms themselves are about 100 picometers wide.

Easy, we took it from little aliens in a broken spaceship that crash landed in Roswell, NM.

This is fake. I'm gonna unfollow. You do way too much clickbait & it's not even good clickbait.

@elonmusk Built by geniuses. Used by people who need autocorrect to spell ‘definitely

Extraterrestrials gave us the technology 🤣

@grok Can you see 3nm chip details with a optical microscope?

Optical microscopes cannot resolve 3nm chip details due to a resolution limit of about 200-250 nm, set by light diffraction. The video likely shows larger chip structures, not 3nm features, as these are far below what optical microscopes can distinguish. For 3nm visualization, electron microscopy is needed. The comparison to a human hair in the video suggests it captures broader layouts, not nanoscale transistors.

big deal...we make smaller and smaller of the same thing starting with the first circuit the size of a room in the 50's. Not impressed. I'd be more impressed if we finally made a quantum computer that worked, or a nuclear fusion reactor that can sustain a burn or a different type of engine than the same variation of the original internal combustion engine that has been around for over 100 years. Miniturization of the same thing we've been doing for decades is not that impressive.

From Grok Digitally Altered Video: The video you referenced is noted to be digitally altered, with 3D models stitched together to enhance the visual impact. This doesn't diminish the actual complexity of the chip but rather amplifies it for illustrative purposes. The community note and Norman's comment clarify that the seamless zooming and some features shown are not typical of real microscope imagery but are artistic representations. However, the underlying truth is that the chip's structure is extraordinarily detailed. Under a real microscope, you would see layers of circuitry, transistors, and interconnects, though perhaps not with the same seamless transition or exaggerated detail as in the video.

There is no proof of this, the video link used to fact check it is just some random YouTube video of someone else using a different microscope on a different chip
