it's so hilarious that elon was the most hysterical AI doomer alarmist until he had the cash to start a chatbot company, upon which he immediately fell in love with a probabilistic waifu www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

So I joke about how being a billionaire is a form of brain damage — being surrounded by sycophants and exempted from all the constraints that cause folks to reflect and be less stupid… among all the people of earth, if you imagine their billionaire brain damaged form, Elon’s is the biggest loser

Right now Elon Musk is paying a room full of tech bros and engineers a gillion dollars to figure out how to inseminate his harem of waifu with his demon seed.

people forget because he said so much other absurd bullshit at the time too, but basically from the moment Google bought DeepMind (2012) he was like "I dunno, we gotta regulate this AI stuff, it's just all so scary" at almost every opportunity for literally years

sorry, Google bought DeepMind at the end of 2013, early 2014... Elon invested in DeepMind in 2012 "to keep an eye on things" because Demis Hassabis was like "but what if you build the Mars colony and then killer AI gets you anyway?" and Elon panicked

He knew if he didn't get into AI he'd be left behind on so many things, including the absurd amount of money investors probably threw at Tesla once he slapped "AI" on a Model Y. Plus, to lean on Yanis Varoufakis, Musk knew he needed AI to continue exploiting users via Cloud capital/xAI.
