He's a businessman.
Why should I listen to him??
Might as well listen to my dentist about Software development.

If i recall correctly, he's a hardcore opponent to investing in developing human like AI.

huh?
There isn't going to be a world war, because China doesn't give a damn about North Korea. If you count "The world" vs North Korea in a war as a world war then I could understand.

So... stop researching it then?
That doesn't stop everyone else from researching it.

Or he possibly knows more about what's going on in that field and can easily see it's where our future is headed.
Care to elaborate?

AI is a wonderful topic to make stupid predictions about, because we are still light-years away from even understanding the concept of true AIs, or having anywhere near the necessary amount of computation needed. Also lol at his comments to Zuckerberg, Musk should stop talking so much shit, he is just a business man and not a scientist. Maybe he has read to much tabloid articles calling him a "genius", alternatively doing less coke might do the trick. There are enough other areas which have the potential for conflict in the future, for example the rising inequality even in western countries. But I bet guys like him don't want to talk about those very real problems, which already exist, because then he would have to take a critical look at himself.

People just shooting from the hip on their sarcastic responses here about lolol shutup about terminator - do you actually know anything about this topic? Of all the reading I've done from experts in the field it has become clear that there is a clear danger that upcoming AI will be creating gods. It's an incredibly serious topic and there's a reason why nearly everybody close to the topic is alert. In fact, many believe we need to move on AI & digital security in a big way or face outright extinction. Sounds hyperbolic but the more you research the more you realize this is totally feasible.

Putin is the worlds richest man, he's turned entire nations into his playthings.
He just said that AI is the key to the worlds future.
Stop being an idiot and pay ATTENTION.

There are you happy?

It's not all of a sudden a threat, it's near. It's approaching. And it's not something that we can turn back from.
Oh ffs.
This and the previous quoted response are as ignorant as it gets. You both win the "Not My Problem" award.

He's talking about the race to AI, guys. Think the race for nuclear power but scarier. He's also talking about extinction.
Unfortunate that his clear profit motive distracts from a threat which should be taken deadly serious.

About what Great Filter means?
It's basically any possible answer to the Fermi Paradox, why most if not all intelligent beings across the universe don't make it to a monolothic god-like state or form, or even off their planet in the case of some possible great filters.
It's why we see no evidence of any other life in the universe, because most species don't make it past the great filter, any type of biological, physical, or technological hurdle that makes it impossible for them to advance further. A lot of possible great filters involve extinction.

The race to AI isn't scarier than nuclear weapons and it's ridiculous to think so. Nuclear power also shouldn't scare any sane person in the least.

Tell the residents of Fukushima.
Whoever gets a Strong AI first, will be light years ahead of everyone else in the world. Its not crazy to think that other countries would do a preemptive strike to stop a true AI from being developed.
This stood out to me as well.
I agree with Elon insofar as that advancement in AI is inevitable and will also cause upheavals in our society as we're ill equipped to transition into a post-automation world in the time frame it would take to automate the economy. This will lead to armed conflict that can, perhaps, lead to a world war but more possibly multiple civil wars.

Did you even read my post?
Or do you think the people living in Fukushima think AI is scarier than nuclear weapons?

Yes exactly. When we talk about a true, unstoppable AI singularity we are talking about a time in which even 2-3 weeks, perhaps shorter, will be the difference between survival and the Stone Age.
