Beginning of the end for Tesla & Musk ?

Yes, Elon Musk would be the total equivalent to that person, there's literally no difference between a person walking about the street delusional and tripping on drugs and a Billionaire Philanthropist Engineer who took a drag on a legal, recreational, fairly light mild relaxant and anti-inflammatory on an internet show one time. Why are you posting this utter drivel Chris?

The main difference is that one of these people is entirely imaginary.

That’s a bit of a stretch...

There was no discussion about any conspiracy theory’s in the interview....

I think what you are referring to is the conversation about AI taking over sometime in the future. Something that isn’t an unreasonable expectation of you really think about it, especially if it can actually ‘think’ and improve its self independently. The fact politicians don’t listen or take any interest in issues they don’t understand or comprehend isn’t new.

What does Musk know of AI? His education is in physics (not stated which type), and business. His early businesses were in travel and finance.
 
The look on Elon's face when, after they've both had a chooch on a spliff, Rogan starts going on about magnets. :D
 
That isn't knowing anything, the most he'll know is whatever he's bothered to learn about on his own (which i doubt is much considering his work load lately) and the business interest of it (which is obvious unless you're a 55+ year old piece of trash freeloading manager in some decrepit **** company).

So Tesla developing AI for self driving cars isn't something he'd be interested in? If the CEO of a car company that aims to essentially be the brand leader in self driving cars doesn't know about AI then I don't know who would

I literally said he has a business interest in it, i don't think he's interested in the in-depth extremely broad papers available on the subject in CompSci. I just don't think he'd know, but he's most certainly intelligent, if a bit brash.

Anyone can read them if they so wish, even i can, but it's not my subject area.

Why does he even need to know what the acronym stands for, he wants self-driving cars so funds the salaries of people who can make it happen.

He's started a lot of tech companies and done a lot of work himself so he's going to have an active interest in things, he's not just a business guy, he's an Engineer and software developer. Do you actually think someone at his level just delegates everything and employs people? He'll be in meetings learning and making suggestions

I do agree with you to some extent, some of his comments re: the dangers of AI etc.. have come across as rather silly. He is an entrepreneur rather than an academic/active researcher.

Musk has gone a bit further than just having a business interest in it having backed a non-profit organisation: OpenAI. Most CEOs of large Silicon Valley tech companies are (and have for a few years now) taken a very keen interest in AI/ML - plenty have rearranged office space in their Silicon Valley HQs so that the researchers/engineers from the teams working in this field sit near the CEO's office. I'd suggest he probably has bothered to spend a fair bit of time familiarising himself with it - he also pulled off a very smart move re: Tesla and their collection of data from the vehicles sold - thanks to that they ended up with the biggest training set out there!

You are a bit misinformed about Musk and his a cabilities. PayPal is all about the software for instance.

Musk is actively involved with all aspects of Tesla and his from the production line to developing autopilot. The last place you would expect to find Musk is in the boardroom...

The guy is next level intelligent, I don’t think you give him the credit he deserves.

You should have a look at home of Musks other companies like.

The guy is extremely clever, you don't need a certificate in something to be highly knowledgeable about it - he simply applies himself and learns all he can.

He knew **** all about rockets when he made space x, now he's a lead rocket engineer - and their rockets are amazing.

But he's not a programmer, he's not coding the AI or producing algorithms. He knows what he wants the software or programs to do then hires a team to create it. Sure he will have an interest but it's he'll know what his employees have told him. It's not like he's producing white papers on it or anything. I think his comments about it are more in the realm of philosophy.

I think you missed my point. Someone saying he knows very little, I'm saying he doesn't need to know a thing.

I'm quite sure he knows more than most, he's a thoroughbred geek and bookworm with the money to test any ideas he can think of.

Citation needed.

It’s well know. Musk takes an extremely active role in day to day operations, he is one of the only CEOs that doesn’t look out from his ivory tower upon his vast empire.

Musk came from nothing, everything he has is off the back of computer programming skills he taught himself as a child and he made his initial fortune from what are prodominaly software companies in the ‘.com era’. To say Musk doesn’t know what he is talking about when it comes to computer software really needs to think about what they are saying.
 
came from nothing? where did h get the money for all the university he did? doesnt seem like his family was poor. just reading the wiki
