Cheer up, Elon Musk said that there ONLY a 20% chance that AI will destroy all of mankind

Honestly, if something doesn't step up to save us, we WILL destroy each other. People are too distracted by the fad of Trump Hate to look elsewhere and realize that globally things are really bad. We have a World #2 that wants to be #1 and a World #1 that will not let that happen. We have governments all over the world that are not focused on the big picture and only on a local snapshot, and they are polarizing into one or the other camps primed for a war. Something is going to have to break this up before it occurs and it won't be us. Humans just aren't smart enough to avoid their self-annihilation.

Are things really so bad? Were things really that bad before Trump? I don't think so. Trump has made things much much worse. You think he did them for the right reasons, I don't even give him that. But even if he did fuch up but with good intentions, he still f'ed up. And he's always been a f up. But you guys say shut up and let him cook?

That's funny.

He's going to save Spirit Airlines I heard? Did they need savings before he shut down the Straights of Hormuz?

I think you need to wake up. It's way past time you stop drinking the god damn coolaid. Trump's popularity is down to 30%. You're one of those?

Well I like your optimism. My gut tells me we are f ed. Hope AI will be a good thing but I doubt it.

Russia already has AI drones that can operate without human interaction. The AI drones decide for themselves what targets to take out.

If I were Iran I'd buy 1000 of them. Load them up, put them on a cargo ship and ship them to the Gulf of America.

Elon Musk says there's 'only a 20% chance of annihilation' with AI

Elon Musk walked through his AI predictions during a Joe Rogan interview and reiterated his concerns about annihilation.

Elon Musk has a glass-half-full mentality when it comes to AI — and that means there's "only a 20% chance of annihilation," according to the billionaire.

"The probability of a good outcome is like 80%," Musk said in a "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast episode released Friday.

It's not the first time Musk has floated this probability of human annihilation, although he's previously included a range of 10% to 20%. Musk also said in the interview that he sees AI exceeding human intelligence in the next year or two. He said he expects AI to reach a level that is "smarter than all humans combined" in 2029 or 2030.

So, stop being so pessimistic about the future everyone

Are you team Elon or Altman?

A yearslong legal brawl between Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman heads to court in Northern California on Monday in a dramatic showdown between two of the most high-profile names in the tech industry.

In his $134 billion lawsuit, Musk claimed that OpenAI, Altman and the company’s president, Greg Brockman, reneged on a vow they made to keep the artificial intelligence lab a nonprofit in perpetuity. OpenAI has since restructured so that it can operate a for-profit subsidiary, and it’s now valued at over $850 billion.

Musk and Altman were once close friends, and were among a group of techies who founded OpenAI in 2015 out of a shared concern over the potential power of AI and the need to advance it in ways that would benefit humanity.

Now they’re public enemies and bitter rivals, with Musk having started xAI as an OpenAI competitor in 2023 and recently merging it with SpaceX in a deal valuing the combined entity at $1.25 trillion. The trial lands as Musk is preparing to take SpaceX public in what will likely be a record IPO.

OpenAI is targeting a potential fourth-quarter market debut, as CNBC previously reported. In a document distributed to prospective investors earlier this year, OpenAI characterized the ongoing litigation with Musk as a potential risk to its business.

The startup has repeatedly dismissed Musk’s lawsuit as “baseless,” calling it a “harassment campaign that’s driven by ego, jealousy and a desire to slow down a competitor,” according to a post on X earlier in April.
