It makes sense to me, he's trying to make something that can answer this question: https://youtu.be/dEv99vxKjVI?t=1909 https://youtu.be/dEv99vxKjVI?t=1909

  To save everyone the view: Interviewer: "What would you ask the AGI" Musk nervously stares around in his view, not focusing but like a person pretending to think hard to prepare a lie. Licks his lips. Seemingly distressed by the question or his immediate answer. Says "WhaT's OutSiDe thE SimUlATiOn"

Considering the current amount of craziness in tech, there’s enough for at least 2 more seasons of Silicon Valley..

We need to get to a point where tech companies are more honest about their missions. E.g. Google's mission is not really "Organize the world's information", but rather, something like "Connect advertisers with the most relevant audiences through search".

      Literally everything in your comment is false. Bravo! This kind of low-quality flamebait belongs on reddit.

        Bold of you to assume HN is smarter than Reddit on anything non-technical.

        I don't even assume HN is smarter than Reddit on average, including anything technical.

Elon really obliterated by himself for many people the myth of the superior intelligence of the wealthy, specially of billion dollars company owners.

  Yeah mostly for Americans who have a puritan belief that everyone should be perfect in every way. Meanwhile most people know a lot of successful celebs, artists, entrepreneurs are pretty insane, but that’s why they got where they are. You don’t get innovation and development without crazy people.

    Not crazy as in wacky and creative, more crazy as in NPD or sociopathy. You can be creative and driven and wacky without believing falsehoods 5 minutes of reading or even just observation plus a modicum of intellectual honesty could correct, such as that nonsense about billionaires. And surely without trying to swat whistleblowers [0] or firing engineers for correcting things you made up [1]. That's not at all how so many well known and very successful people behave, actually. That's not what leaders do, either. That's what sick people can't help but do. History in the long run doesn't care about how successful "celebrities" were for themselves, but whether they gave more than they took.

        I'm sorry you don't understand that Musk without stunted personality growth could have achieved even more.
