Facebook's head of AI urged Elon Musk to stop advising Trump
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoIt doesn't make sense to burn the house down and just refuse to cooperate with... you know, the legally elected government. Why should anyone stop providing advice. MORE PEOPLE SHOULD be advising Trump. Clearly, he needs all the help he can get. And while Trump is busy burning our climate change promises to the ground, Elon Musk is making a pro-business case push for green energy becoming cheap, and market competitive. Not because it's "the right thing to do", but because it's "good business". I'd much rather suffer a Trump presidency with intelligent advisors trying to convince him to do the right thing and not do the wrong thing than suffer a Trump presidency of him doing whatever comes to mind. You need to ask yourself which is scarier? A world where Trump gets advice from Elon Musk, or a world where Trump doesn't.
- Neliquat 10y agoI have expounded this viewpoint before to similar comments from friends only to get a 'you're one of them' comment in return. I cannot recall a time in my life where I felt so much division. Please if you disagree with the post above, think about why, and post a thought out response. Because I honestly don't get it and want to. I feel both sides pulling away from reason and open discussion, and it frankly scares the humor out of me. There is no way to solve any of this by attacking each other and refusing meaningful dialog.
