He wants to replace as many humans as possible with AI and machines. Is everybody ready for the rapid rise of technology and technocrats? In chaotic Washington blitz, Elon Musk’s ultimate goal becomes clear
I’d argue that is secondary to stealing America blind. Proprietary tech will just be the instrument to do it.
If it’s a choice between artificial intelligence or what we have now which is no intelligence, I’ll take the AI.
or just access to everyone’s info - financials, etc. It would be quite valuable to different corps or adversarial countries.
You sure about that? It’s too close comfort where in 2035 a megalomaniacal corporate CEO turns a mass produced robot into a horde of jailers and murderers for the human population.
Self driven cars will price out, via insurance, human driven ones sooner than most probably realize. Elmo bought the regulatory go-ahead, and the fan base for just $288 mill.
Musk is certainly sitting pretty right about now. Just months ago, he was a generic, garden variety billionaire. Now he's got the president of the United States backing his self-serving agenda, and he's going to try and re-structure the government to be super friendly to his (coincidentally) products. You can't buy that kind of access. Wait, yes you can. How much did he contribute to Trump's campaign? $288 million if I'm remembering rightly.
Disagree with everyone here. Based on his actions of trying to affect elections across the globe, as well as stuff that has come out in interviews and biographies I think it's pretty clear Musk is trying to leverage being the richest man in the world into being the most powerful man in the world.
He's a man child with delusions of being the hero is his own video game, while the rest of us clearly see him as what he is - a villain with no morals. We are all just NPCs in his world and he is the only person who matters - ask his kids and baby mommas. He is not a mature, secure, serious human being, but rather an insecure, wannabe man, who happens to be a sociopath.
Naw, a robot army would take massive amount of materials, rare minerals, a light year jump in battery storage capacity, and software / chips to encode instructions. That can’t be done in a hollowed out volcano with a fake top that opens up and the robots scurry out to destroy humanity. OT: it occurs to me that at this point in time society has really shoved back on gender matters. Rhetorical question: What will happen when society is confronted with artificial implants that enhance human capabilities?
Cons are morally and ethically bankrupt. I can do this all day, but it's tedious and silly, so I'm out.
Elmo is working on that too with neuralink. As for your first comment, you missed the plot line. You have customers buy the robots and keep a back door to take control of them.
