This has intrigued me as how he expects this to actually work:

"Elon Musk projects that in 10 to 20 years (by roughly 2036–2046), rapid advancements in AI and humanoid robotics will make traditional employment optional and usher in a "universal high income". He envisions a future where robots handle most tasks, creating extreme abundance, and money becomes less relevant."

I really can't see the reality of this as there needs to be a major shift in mentality for it to work. The entire system in it's current state is the complete opposite of this prediction.

Hey, if anybody knows when it’s gonna burst, please let me know in plenty of time so I can sell all my AI stocks

@goosehd to paraphrase: worlds richest man wants to make money obsolete... yea, somehow I don't buy that.

[Ross]

@goosehd been watching too much Star Trek again

[goosehd]

@Ross I just don't want to be the new guy in the red shirt on a mission...

I stopped believing in this when I woke up on August 30 1997 and Skynet hadn’t developed a mind of its own

Part of the problem may be that Musk doesn’t know what work even IS. I will keep my mouth shut about what would happen to the world if the labor class stopped allowing ourselves to to be exploited.

I’ll get my coat.

[goosehd]

@sabergirl I'll join you...

@flannel-slut yeah he just screamed a lot. Honestly not my favorite.

[mclaincausey]

Musk is an idiot and a charlatan. Anything he says will happen won’t.

It’s remarkable that people and shareholders in particular accept anything he says at this point.

[popvulture]

He's such a loser. Despite the obvious overarching vileness of the whole thing, his dweeby desperation in the Epstein Files was so funny. Josh Johnson has a recent bit about it, highly recommended. Made me howl.

Kidney stones ftw.....

[goosehd]

@GraemeE so sorry…and yes they are bastards!!

Only pain to ever drop me to my knees and take my breath away.

[goosehd]

@Graeme are you able to pass it or is it a trip to the doctor?

[GraemeE]

@goosehd i just got back from there

Too big to pass - need to have them broken up

And because I know Matt will ask:
Yes I got drugs and yes I will be getting as turnt as one can while lying in bed

[goosehd]

@GraemeE Wishing you the best…

[SKT]

@GraemeE good luck man, that’s no fun

[popvulture]

Dude that blows. Everyday's a new adventure in the crumbling temple.

[GraemeE]

@popvulture my temple is a dickhead

[StarsSuck]

@goosehd my feeling is that we won't have the energy supply to make this happen, even on the timespan he envisions. We're not even close to being able to actualize these developments... That said, I worry about the overall harm that this massive push for data and processing centers will do to the environment, but we're probably all fucked anyway so maybe it doesn't matter.
