TL;DR:
I would be interested in the criticism of OpenAI and Altman. I certainly agree they deserve some, just wondering that these were.
I will say that no single person can be trusted with AI. I question that companies can because they are at a major level held by a single leader. And Elon has demonstrated that he absolutely can't be.
Optimus, Mars, UBI - oh ok sure.
Waymo/Zoox/Robotaxi - This is great talk, but until Tesla is doing ANY autonomous rides, they aren't just behind in the race, they still haven't gotten out of the workshop to get on the track.
I will admit - they can scale, and I agree he is poised to be ready to get going, but they are still way behind and not ready to take advantage. And - nobody? There is this small country he might have heard about - China - that has that all down in spades.
I say that guy needs to take off the blinders, because there is a lot that he is missing.
Also - what software company does he work for? Sounds like I need to cross them off the list with this kind of stupidity that their engineers run around with.
Social media * Covid
You throw everyone in a bubble and let social media just pound in their heads day in, day out. It breaks people. We were already heading down a bad path with social media alone*, but throw in the isolation that a once in a lifetime pandemic and you have a really bad mix for society as a whole.
Hell, social media in the hands of just a few is proof enough that no single person should be in control of any AI. Zuck is basically showing us he doesn't give a damn about anything. He would hook his own mom, wife, kids on heroin if he would result in another $0.10 a share on Meta's stock price.
