"I'm going to start something which I call 'TruthGPT,' or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe," Musk said in an interview with Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson to be aired later on Monday.

"And I think this might be the best path to safety, in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe, it is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe," he said, according to some excerpts of the interview.

Musk last month registered a firm named X.AI Corp, incorporated in Nevada, according to a state filing. The firm listed Musk as the sole director.

Musk also reiterated his warnings about AI during the interview with Carlson, saying "AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production" according to the excerpts.

"It has the potential of civilizational destruction," he said.

    Biologists think frogs are an interesting part of the universe...

    And we dissect those...

    Sure, it might not destroy us, but there are worse fates then dying.

    Also his entire premise is stupid to begin with anyway. He's not capable of making an AI, only shitty algorithms for advertising. But him grifting gullible tech bros to get funding is hardly new.

        Anyone who believes that AI has anything resembling intention and sentience needs to have their brain examined

            The brain-computer analogy and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

                Thousands of years of philosophy owing its existence to consciousness, one of the greatest if not the greatest mystery of all time, and some random singularity dipshits think they’ve cracked the code with their glorified chatbot

                Insert the meme posted a while back about the latest invention becoming the new metaphor for consciousness

                    Consciousness deniers be like: I think consciousness is an illusion

                    :Descartes-Shining:

                    The absolute dumbest clowns to ever walk the Earth, instantly proved wrong by the very existence of… existence. If they’re true believers then surely they won’t mind being guillotined, right? After all, according to them, there’s nothing to be lost

                        Listening to these people is like having random drunks from the caboose barge into the engine room and loudly proclaim that the train doesn’t exist.

                        It’s hard when I want to have an actual conversation about the nature of consciousness and the hows and whys and end up having to deal with these geocentrist morons. And I must apologize to the geocentrists, compared to these I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE cultists they’re practically Einstein.

      He's going to put dream ads in that brainchip shit he's torturing monkeys to death over.

        "It's very simple. The ad gets into your brain just like this liquid gets into this egg. Although in reality it's not liquid, but gamma radiation."
