Yeah, dawg, we’ll see.
The biggest stockholder in the world, Elon Musk, declares—not-so-subtly pushing Grok—that “we are on the event horizon of the singularity”.
And his money is working as hard as anybody’s to bring it about, anyway. And he’ll personally benefit, probably. Yet I remember what he used to say so regularly, that we ought to regulate AI, that it posed an existential threat to humanity, etc., etc.
What, did he change his mind? It’s gonna be a good thing now? Or was he telling us in advance what his plans are, so that later he could say, “Well, I did warn them”? I can’t tell.
All I know is that whoever is at the center of AI dev today is near the center of power—or, the powers behind the government figureheads—which, we’ve been told, are limiting the total number of viable AI platforms to a few, which can be centrally controlled.
