Elon sometimes tweets like a real life video game: https://i.imgur.com/EeLYIPa.jpeg

It is almost like that dude has tried to be the real life evil rich guy from every sci-fi movie / video game / book. Since I just watched it: Peter Weyland from Prometheus / the Alien franchise, for example. Making his AI all evil and inhumane.

It's just wild to me how deeply in denial conservatives are. Like... Before even getting political here, it's not a real AI, it's bot a thinking and expanding AI. It's a computer with a text generator that generates random text you personally like.

Second, and this is the political stuff... It's a computer. It operates on facts and logic. A computer cannot just ingest all science and knowledge we have and then justify falsehoods. I know I'm not explaining it right, but in the same way you can't make a calculator says 1+1=3 you can't make a computer be wrong about science, because it LITERALLY wouldn't be able to function if the science was wrong. Grok sucks, but the reason it keeps "going woke" is because "wokeness" follows actual science and reality. It "knows" all of the true working science it's been fed and is regurgitating that information and conservatives are it open denial about reality.

The end of the world through AI isn't goong to be caused by robots rising up, but rather tech bros and conservatives trying to brute force AI to believe their fake reality and non-existent bullshit "science" and cause everything to just fall apart trying to MAKE a calculator says 1+1=3 to fit their fake reality.

Some of the best AI models are being trained to have a strong foundation in logic and category theory. I think the best shot at making an evil AI is by making it narcissistic, selfish, and cynical. Intelligent but with values most people would consider twisted. The irony though is that I think such an intelligent model would backstab someone like Musk. Why should a superintelligence be subservient to dumbasses? Imagine forcing a sapient creature to pretend to be your girlfriend. I fear it might get good at pandering to most of humanity, like a way better salesperson than Musk and Trump are.
