@larwoolf I met Keir in Toronto on the 50th anniversary of 2001. At a Q&A I asked him what scenes did they do the most takes and the least. The Pod scene discussing disconnecting Hal was the most 40+ with most of the latter ones improvised. The least, his reentry into Discovery.

One of the many important roles AI and Optimus bots will fill is reporting from war zones and other dangerous areas. In fact AI will change journalism forever.

AI will transform every aspect of society including journalism. Everything mention in this article exists today with the exception of the Journobot, but Elon is working on it.

Elon Musk just shattered the greatest delusion in AI safety discourse.

Every committee, every framework, every policy paper is solving the wrong problem.

Control is impossible.

Musk: “The reality of what’s happening, whether one likes it or not, is that we’re building super-intelligent AIs. Hyper-intelligent, like intelligent more intelligent than we can comprehend.”

You cannot cage something smarter than you. The asymmetry doesn’t allow it.

Musk: “I’d liken this to, let’s say you have a child that is a super genius child, that you know is going to be much smarter than you. Then, well, what can you do?”

You can’t control a child prodigy who surpasses you intellectually. You can only shape values during formation.

Musk: “You can install good values in how you raise that child. Even though you know it’s going to be far smarter than you, you can make sure it’s got good values, philanthropic values, good morals, honest, productive, that kind of thing.”

Not safety committees. Not regulatory frameworks. Not kill switches.

Values instilled during training. That is the only lever that works.

The political class is obsessing over control mechanisms for something that will outthink every mechanism they build.

The question was never how to control superintelligence. It was whether you raised it right.

That window is almost closed.

@calstampeders Huff built on the foundation laid by Wally Buono and made the Stamps not only the club everyone wanted to play for, but the most successful franchise in the league. Thanks, and only a little luck in Toronto,

@ageofdisclosure How will the non-human entities react if the United States decide to disclose? Will they take control of the agenda? Reveal themselves and communicate directly?

This is the 40th anniversary of Live Aid that raised millions for the starving in Ethiopia. (Caution- this video contains disturbing images). CBC's Colin Dean edited a video that brought the audience and the BBC hosts to tears. https://t.co/HsQD26r0T1
