This is all happening so fast.
You need to watch the Will Smith movie, iRobot again. It’s available on cable for free. The first thing you will notice is that the cars of 2035 look exactly like Elon Musk’s new CyberCabs. The second thing you will notice is that the sleek, cool, futuristic buses in the movie look exactly like the awesome new buses coming out of Tesla. This is not an accident. Elon Musk designed them to look identical to the cars and buses in the movie.
At the very end of the movie - it's just casually mentioned - the viewers learn that the revolt of the robots is being orchestrated by the company’s AI, which has taken upon itself to take over the world. Huh.
Sixty days ago, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, said that artificial intelligence could become smarter than humans sooner than many people expect. He went on to say -
"AI super-intelligence could be
just 'a few thousand days' away."
Errr... the AI-directed drone overhead?
Elon Musk is racing to build the smartest AI in the world. He has connected 100,000 of the most advanced AI chips in the world in just the past few months. He is on a crash course to educate it, and he will have a super smart AI ready by the first quarter of 2025. By the end of 2025, an even greater third generation, the smartest AI in the world, will be educated and online.
Musk has said that, ready or not, the era of AI will soon be here - an era where self-aware, super-intelligent machines are making decisions and dictating to humans. He has hinted that the reason for his big rush is that his AI may soon be “at war” with competing super-intelligent machines.
This is where the money is... in servicing.
The last season of the TV series, Person of Interest involved a war between the AI of the bad guys against the AI of the good guys. The humans were reduced to just being foot soldiers of each AI.
At his big CyberCab reveal two weeks ago, Elon Musk made the comment about AI superintelligence -
“It's 80% likely to be great,
but 20% could spell disaster.”
He was referring to the Era of AI. Ah, what does he know? It’s not as though he’s the smartest man on Earth. Cue the theme song to “The Terminator.”
In an Air Force simulation recently, an AI-directed drone
"attacked" the operator because it wasn't
killing incoming missiles fast enough!!!
