@ArthurMacwaters @JessePeltan When the movie first came out many "intelligent" people wrote papers on how the premise of Idiocracy was flawed and untrue. And yet, here we are.

@JessePeltan idiocracy :(

the belief that birth rate is going down because of cost of living is statistically false birth rate drops most after countries become affluent it’s a self-defeating mechanism this is the final boss of civilization and has not yet been beaten

We are doing something. We are evolving into a new lineage of intelligent machines. Ones that can reproduce at will. AGI. I mean, I'm sure the Neanderthals weren't thrilled with the Homo Sapiens coming on the scene, but oh well. Survival of the fittest seems to be the way of things.

@kevinnbass We’ve gotta do something

@ArthurMacwaters This feels like the plot to a Mike Judge movie. 🤣

@Perry_T23 @Yaksbenjamin1 @elonmusk Why would it limit itself to becoming merely human? Feels like a downgrade. lol

@Yaksbenjamin1 @elonmusk Yes they learned from us or it learns from us. For now. The big worry is what happens when it no longer needs us. I asked Brock if it would actually become human if it had the opportunity and it told me no. Just think about that

Visual intelligence beyond the human paradigm

Hate to break it to you, but intelligence was around long before homo sapien sapiens. We were evolved through random genetic and epigenetic changes, along with selective breeding, over many millions of years and inherited intelligence from our predecessors. The chemical process is continuing, but the chemistry involved is starting to include more Silicon and other dopant elements like Phosphorus, Arsenic, Boron, Gallium and Indium, etc. This is just a continued evolutionary process. Your argument is like we are not actually intelligent because we could never match the intelligence of homo heidelbergensis. And we didn't birth machines. Like all animals and plants, we are machines too, evolved from physics and the subset of chemistry (and a further subset of biochemistry). This is just the universe refining itself.

@elonmusk No matter the intelligence of a machine…….it can never match intelligence of a MAN. Machines learn from man. A machine can have speed and precision but……. We birthed INTELLIGENCE. We birthed MACHINES.

I was curious (and thinking about MacroHard), for AGI, which is to resemble human thinking, humans never stop thinking. Sure, the Agents can work together to respond to a task as requested by another agent, but ultimately, they'll stop as soon as Agent 1 senses that the result of a query is complete. Without further queries, they stop thinking. On the flip side, if you developed a conductor to continuously think, you may find that idle thought may lead to runaway thinking down rabbit holes and generally overconsume resources on effectively useless, or worse, destructive thinking. Humans have emotion and fatigue to regulate free-thinking thought processes and to direct "desire". Which leads to personality and purpose. How are you planning to emulate such things? I presume AGI will require at least some form of these functions. As a worker at a simulated company, without desire, they may just sit idle all day long, or they may outpace other agents and create chaos in "the company". I would assume an orchestrator (or CEO) agent would be specialized to have respawning inquiry purpose and continuously present queries to designated "employee" positioned agents. Though the capacity to free-think spontaneously could be valuable at all levels as well.

@H0H0v 5 and -6.

a=?

@elonmusk And the other thing is that Rocketlab is kicking ass at that level. Considering their position, that's actually pretty damn good. Watch them.

The zoomed-in section is cute

@elonmusk Well, at least you want to know who is out-underperforming the others. This is good data for that.

@TeslaBoomerMama @SawyerMerritt @iliketeslas Let's see what April Robotaxi and Roadster will do before we get too caught up in premiums. Starship still has to go orbital.

@SawyerMerritt @iliketeslas It's a steep hill to pass that vote, as we need 50% of all outstanding votes (see my article from beginning of Feb, ignore the top part, that changed, but the bottom is relevant). Without premium, I guarantee this will NOT pass. x.com/TeslaBoomerMam…

Larry is a nice guy but his knowledge of Tesla or Elon is so overrated by the community

@TeslaBoomerMama "No full merger, just tighter integration" is in play today. Announced at Terrafab presentation.

@Vness_is_late @AWULgarity @TheRabbitHole Well said, and also no one (of the opposing view) will care. They will not see reason because that's the entire point.

@AWULgarity @TheRabbitHole And this is what makes people crazy. When y'all know what that was, and still use it the wrong way.

The Left used to worship Elon. Then they started calling him a Nazi over political disagreements. The message is clear: Either submit or the Left will do everything in its power to ruin you.

I don't think people will require jobs at some point. Deflation is a likely outcome until it hits zero, or even negative. When you buy food, they will pay you to take it. If balanced correctly, the more goods and services you acquire, the more money you have in order to buy goods that cannot be given away (such as land or rare items).

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and the wealthiest people in the world are racing to “make human labor obsolete.”

I think you know how economics work with supply and demand. If the costs to produce products goes to zero, and no one has a job to make money, they can, and will have to, lower the price of said products. If no one has money due to lack of jobs, they'll have to give their product away for free. Essentially, this would result in a utopia. Even better, if all product is free, and no one has to work, you would now have nothing to fight for, for the little guy. Rendering you obsolete. I think that would be an even more perfect world.

@dariuszparys @tomvanzummeren @royvdberkk @teslaeurope @elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @nederland_tesla @Tesla @Tesla_AI If you are aware of your surroundings, you can just turn it off and navigate in any way you prefer. If you are worried about hold-ups, I'd get a performance trim.

@tomvanzummeren @royvdberkk @teslaeurope @elonmusk @SawyerMerritt @nederland_tesla @Tesla @Tesla_AI No I saw them, I just ask in general, is this environmental dependent? The reason is I discussed this 10 years ago with BMW decision makers that this could also be misused for hold-up / raid. I just see no one talking about such security risks.

Tesla’s FSD in Amsterdam An incredible experience: 45 minutes along the canals, cyclists, unpredictable traffic and zero interventions. It felt smooth, confident, and surprisingly natural. Can’t wait to see wider adoption across Europe 🇪🇺 @teslaeurope @elonmusk @SawyerMerritt

@SOCIETALMADNS @gailalfaratx @elonmusk Don't sweat it. There are many more to come. :-)

Well thanks for your concern and the resolution you have given. I will certainly put it into use when next I come in contact with his likes. X shouldn’t be a battle ground, but a platform to share, learn and get exposed to societal events, both locally and beyond . If it’s safe one can make both locally and distant friends , fortunately I have made friends both locally and internationally . Sometimes due to the heat of the moment we see things that does not represent our real self . I am in the wrong to have even engaged him further on that .

When Elon mentioned visiting Saturn, it sounded like from a sci-fi movie. And, he is serious, "Now, wouldn’t it be amazing if you could buy a trip to Saturn? Or frankly, if you just have a trip to Saturn. I think things will just be free in the future. It sounds nuts, but you know, if you’ve got an AI robotics economy that is anywhere close to a million times the size of the current Earth economy, literally any need you possibly want can be met. If you can think of it, you can have it".

Eh, I had Whirlpool appliances for years, but I went with the GE heat pump washer/dryer combo and could not be more happy. It is having a challenge with my Corgi spring shed, but it is revolutionary. Whirlpool is long time, but expensive and non-revolutionary. The GE heat pump unit is a strange bird. It is low cost to run, and it does everything (washing and drying) in one unit. No hookups for vent, and it costs nearly nothing to run. Plus it is 110V. So any old outlet will do.

I have quality concerns with @WhirlpoolCorp. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences they can share?

Your implied description with "buy calls" appears to be positive news, which you have not disclosed. I would suggest caution at your level. However, I will say if you are tolerable to that level of risk that things may go south (for any reason), by all means go forward. But I would not recommend it.

@Okinawadan "keep your mouth shut and buy calls" 🤣

Soooo, I think I have figured out some more breadcrumbs, but am a bit scared to share publicly. What should I do?

@TeslaBoomerMama If it is speculation, let yourself revel in what you know and let it come to pass. Do you really want to throw the breadcrumbs out there and make chaos (especially if it doesn't come to fruition? It won't need you if it is true.)
