"A video by Liron Shapira. "The stunning thing isn't that Elon has this shallow, self-contradictory outlook on the near future of all our lives—it's that every frontier AI company CEO would make equally insane claims about what happens to humanity after a few more years of letting their company operate, if pressed in an interview or debate. It shouldn't be legal for companies to carry out plans to permanently take away humanity's control over the future while clinging to shallow arguments why humanity might still survive, should it? P.S. The only show that cross-examines its guests' existentially-important nonconsensus AI claims more than two questions deep is @Doomdebates." (From Shapira's Twitter feed: https://x.com/liron/status/2020906862397489492) I agree on all points. "

Elon Musk just made a stunning admission about the insane future he’s steering us toward.

In last week’s interview with Dwarkesh Patel and John Collison on the Cheeky Pint podcast, Elon said that humanity can’t expect to be “in charge” of AI for long, because humans will soon only have 1% of the combined total human+AI intelligence.

Then, he claimed to have a plan to build AI overlords that will naturally support humanity's flourishing.

In this mini episode, I react to Elon's remarks and expose why his plan for humanity's survival in the age of AI is dangerously flimsy.
