"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.
So many "upload" escapist fantasies by necessity conveniently require the "upload" to destroy the original brain, because in any version of that thought experiment where the brain is still alive and functioning, it would be too clear and obvious that no "upload" took place from the subjective perspective of the "uploaded" brain, no matter how perfect the copy happens to be to external observers. :the-more-you-know:
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.
