Not sure if Ozempic and GLP-1 technology are better than AI but they diminish human craving for pleasure, reducing the drive for vices and consumerism

@robertsepehr @elonmusk Well... Those collected taxes you complain about, saved Tesla in 2008 and SpaceX via government contracts. True though: there is government spending waste, like the Big Beautiful Bill, etc. But unconstrained capitalism has its "sins" too...

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@robertsepehr @elonmusk You are saying that world's richest 1% that owns half of global wealth are all high IQ? They got their wealth by themselves without using government public "socialist" infrastructure (universities research, etc.) or without the employees paid 1/344th of what CEO earns...

@free_study_all @DeepPsycho_HQ Brain's limit: The concert of association the invisible wall with the repeated failures has disabled the physical observations sensorial inputs. It is a biological limit not a matter of willingness...

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@free_study_all @DeepPsycho_HQ Let's assume that the invisible wall is never removed... Brain's energy economics: even the idea of trying again will waste my energy... Better ignore that maybe something will change in the environment. Since the wall was invisible, the change was not observed, this the result..

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@free_study_all @DeepPsycho_HQ Failure to "update your internal map" proves that any kind of biological brain has a limit to the number of failures it can tolerate. Even the negative perceived outcome of that extra "observation" you mentioned is reinforcing the helplessness. From the brain's view is a waste..

This is a great report that provides a thoughtful, detailed and very well researched description of the risks of AI. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to write or talk about AI risks.

@Andercot Maybe, before colonizing new planets we should fix our Earth with its ecological, social, economical, etc. issues. There is room for everyone on Earth. What's lacking is political will..

@elonmusk 9/ The enemy of #innovation isn’t #makers, it’s #permanence that unbounded #capitalism creates through tendencies towards #oligarchic society (see failed hypocritical #communism experimentations that suppressed experimentation, feedback & innovation). #taker #oligarchy #rent

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@elonmusk 8/ you said your problem is having more good #ideas than time, which is exactly why #innovation depends on fresh entrants. #Bounded capitalism ensures tomorrow’s #founders aren’t blocked by yesterday’s successes. That’s system hygiene, not punishment. #maker #taker #oligarchy

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@elonmusk 7/ You’ve consistently fought rent-seeking & bureaucracy.
The point isn’t about intent, it’s about systems. Even innovation-driven leaders create gravity that raises entry barriers over time. Boundaries aren’t a critique of #makers they preserve space 4 next wave of them. #taker

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@elonmusk 6/ it's not about you (big fan of your first-principles innovation & execution) it's about unbounded capitalism flaws. Even when leaders remain innovative, the system they dominate still accumulates power in ways that eventually suppress the next generation. #maker #taker #rents

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@elonmusk 5/ why bounded capitalism preserves #innovation? It survives when entry is easy & dominance is temporary. Unbounded capitalism shifts incentives from #making to defending from risk-taking 2 rent-seeking. Boundaries don’t punish winners they keep game worth playing. #maker #taker

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@elonmusk 4/ The issue isn’t reward, it’s permanence. Collective creation with indefinitely concentrated #control eventually distorts #incentives. Reward boundaries preserve #innovation; they don’t punish it. #maker #taker #capitalism #bounding #reward #rent #extraction #oligarchy

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@elonmusk 3/ value creation is still collective (employees, investors) while control and upside concentrate asymmetrically and persist indefinitely. Extraordinary reward makes sense; permanent dominance and unchecked power don’t. Healthy capitalism needs renewal, not dynasties.

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@elonmusk 2/ reward doesn't mean unbounded control, current capitalism major issue... Markets involve luck network effects public scaffolding & collective labor. Without limits, incentives turn into oligarchy. Bounded capitalism isn’t anti-innovation, it’s how innovation survives long-term

[George Curelet-Balan @curelet]

@elonmusk Extraordinary contribution justifies extraordinary reward — but not unlimited power, permanent dominance, or immunity from social obligation. When success rests on collective labor and public infrastructure, incentives need bounds to preserve innovation and stability. #taker
