Elon Musk: "We should just be concerned about AI being anti-human."

A chill conversation, cigars, beverages, and a double pineapple double anchovy pizza in Austin Texas.

Elon Musk was on his way to an AI safety conference in London.

This 1:52:00 video interview, with requisite commercials streamed on the X platform.

The entire podcast, can be heard, seen, and probably downloaded, on Spotify.

Am not a fan of UFC, so I appreciate the fact that I can 15 second ff through those bits.

There's a Zuck vs Musk “Fight For Humanity” update which I found interesting though.

According to Elon and Joe: The only 2 Social Media platforms which are not “controlled” (censored), at this time, are X and Spotify.

Good to know I can speak my mind somewhere other than Substack if I so choose.

Some other highlights:

Joe bet Elon Musk a dollar that his 90 lb cross bow could penetrate Tesla's new bullet proof vehicle.

Elon 😁: Do you have it? Let's go get it.

Off to Joe's house. They take his bow over to the Tesla factory for a test. 3 different weapons had already been fired at the prototype, which were unable to penetrate it.

Won't spoil it for you.

More streams of consciousness by Joe and Elon.

Downtown San Franscisco for instance, where Twitter's (X) head office is located:

Elon: It’s like a Zombie Apocalypse down there now.

I can corroborate, based upon my personal experience prior to the Plandemonium of 2020, on All Hallow's Eve. Exactly 5 years ago. Wow. Time has flown.

But what really happened to Twitter, according to its new owner?

Elon: It became an actual arm of the U.S. government. Like Pravda.

On AI:

Elon: The biggest danger for AI is, that if AI is implicitly programmed… with values that lead to, and have led to, the destruction of downtown San Franscisco, and a bunch of these AI companies are either in San Francisco or in the Bay Area, then you could implicitly program an AI that the extinction of humanity is what it should try to do.

Me: Chilling memories of sci-fi movies with that theme.

Elon: We should just be concerned about AI being anti-human.

He says more on that, and ChatAI.

Joe riffs about how good pineapple anchovy pizza is.

Elon: Can we order one? I'm really hungry. (*It's 11:30 pm or so.)

Joe: Sure. To his studio employee: "But don't get it from East Austin". Where people still wear masks.

Elon: "Don't tell them it's for us though." Laughs. Implies someone might do something nasty to it... (Legit concern no doubt.)

Oh, and regarding masks? No bueno. Elon gets why.

Ventilators were a pretty terrible idea too. Elon explains, with precision, why that’s a fact. Turns out that the man has a little more knowledge about mechanical breathing devices than your average layperson.

Etc.

For me, it was 2 hours 41 minutes well spent. I like to learn something new every day, and I learned a few things from both Joe Rogan and Elon Musk this evening.

Like:

1: Sardines contain a lot of arsenic. Who knew? (My mum eats a lot of sardines. I should warn her.)

2: Buying expensive art (say, from Hunter Biden) is a common way for criminals to launder money.

3: Austin Texas is currently a boomtown, thanks in no small part to Elon Musk. This could lead to a shortage of workers.

Am betting Austin will also experience a shortage of housing for those workers, as well as the average working family.

The Austin real estate market will eventually price the average Joe right out of Austin City Limits.

Anyway, I'm gonna need to try making a pineapple anchovy pizza pie because unlike Joe Rogan's studio employee: I like trying new things.

Good night.

PS: Elon goes off on Soros too.
