Am I the only one who thinks it is ironic that Elon Musk gives so much money to research regarding the existential threat of AI to humanity, while also basing a business on putting AI in devices that can so easily kill humans?
- daveguy 9y agoPretty sure he has a guilty conscience. He wants to build an autonomous self driving car, which will have to get pretty close to general AI and he wants to put it in multi-ton robots. He knows this could be dangerous and scary. At least he is giving money to research the problem rather than just forging ahead with the potentially dangerous part. Personally I think the robot uprising concern is at least 50 years premature. But the "what if someone could take the controls" concern is a concern we should have been already been considering yesterday.
- Veedrac 9y agoThe fact you said "50" and not "5000" is enough reason to not consider it premature.
