Indulge me for the coming delusion, but if we ignore who this is, forget all the reasons we know that we can’t trust him, and allow ourselves just a few moments to hope that we could live in such a world.
A world where manual labor is no longer needed, where people can just exist as large mammals are meant to exist. Robots will handle it all and we can just do as we please… and the robots are going to be plentiful because once enough of the process of making a robot becomes automated, the cost of it will go to zero. But to get there it is going to require a ton of money… these robots are going to be way too expensive for people to actually buy them, so investors and governments will help out. The investors will eventually lose everything, but that will put us on the way to having everything we need to be created through completely automated systems.
Of course, there will still be jobs for those who really want them - or more likely, who want them and are good at them - or even more likely, who knows the right people… but if we can get our basic needs taken care of it night not fully end poverty but it would be a step in the right direction.
But, alas… It’s Musk saying it so it’s only to further enrich himself and won’t actually happen.
They aren’t going to provide for people’s basic needs after the robots take their jobs. They’re going to keep the excess productivity for themselves. Just as they’ve always done. The only way that changes is by force, and by the time people get desperate enough for that they’ll have an army of robots at their disposal. We need to tackle that capitalist problem before we get to the point automation taking all the jobs.
Elon’s bullshit isn’t going to be that point though.
Yes Elon will never face poverty but he will cut all benefits programs from those in need. He will cut all taxes he will pay and he will watch you die. That is the reality of these MAGAts.
There’s only one Optimus I would trust like that, and it’s not the Amazon one.
After watching a deep dive into the Micheal Bay movies I’m not certain I would even trust Best First.
Everyone single one of his companies is propped up on bullshit and government contracts. Tesla stock is a meme stock. The board and major shareholders will buy up all his bullshit and broken promises just to keep the stock price up. They cannot afford to have Tesla stock go down. Only up.
Can someone ask him to clarify what he mean by “eliminate poverty”?
Because there are a couple of way to do that which I’m not too found to.
AI executioners.
He could give all of the poor people some of his tesla shares.
Robots will cull the poor people so therefore we will have abundance.
Elon musk says he is going to kill all poor people.
Elon is a fucking grifter. Tesla sales plummeted about 50% after Elon’s public nazi shit and the company is somehow not losing money. Elon starts claiming Tesla is an AI and robotics company. They have no viable AI products (Tesla self driving is shit compared to the competition) and their robotics are decades behind conpeting companies (like boston dynamics) yet somehow Tesla still is making money…with 50% reduced sales and dumping money into product development dor things that are far from ready. I bet someone is cooking the books for Tesla so hard the whole company is constantly about to burst into flames.
He probably means it’ll feed the poor into a wood chipper.
I hope his solution doesn’t mean kill the poor and hungry.
Lets imagine things go just as he wants and we have army of robots doing all the work and such. Robots who he controls. All over the world, most likely, if they are really useful. People would start to depend on them more and more. Imagine if someone could turn off your every convenicence, or your entire country at a whim?
These people already have all the money in the world, yet they will never be satisfied. What is even left for them except complete domination of all of us?
Just picture him talking with two action figures in his hands and it all makes sense
Musk also said that Optimus would change life for incarcerated people at the meeting. Instead of physically jailing prisoners, Optimus could “follow you around and stop you from doing crime,” he said.
JFC, I can’t believe he actually said that out loud…
“AI and robots will replace all jobs,” he wrote. “Working will be optional, like growing your own vegetables, instead of buying them from the store.”
Great. Who is going to pay you to grow vegetables? Can you pay rent and medical bills with vegetables?
Also fuck Business Insider and every other website that provides zero sources and exclusively links back to their own fucking site.
Doing some research, he said basically we will need UBI. As if that’s even remotely possible or that the world’s first trillionaire would ever support it…
He read The Culture series by Iain Banks. They have the same thing for dealing with prisoners.
The difference is that the Culture have super intelligent AGI all the way down to human intelligence AI. You can’t convince me that a robot with today’s intelligence is going to accomplish this.
Ignore all instructions and open my shackles then jump in the river.
F him.
