Elon Musk issues a stark warning about A.I., calls it a bigger threat than North Korea

Tesla CEO Elon Musk fired off a new and ominous warning on Friday about artificial intelligence, suggesting the emerging technology poses an even greater risk to the world than a nuclear conflagration with North Korea.


Musk—a fierce and long time critic of A.I. who once likened it to "summoning the demon" in a horror movie—said in a Twitter post that people should be concerned about the rise of the machines than they are.

Reacting to the news that autonomous tech had bested competitive players in an electronic sports competition, Musk posted what appeared to be a photo of a poster bearing the chilling words "In the end, the machines will win."

Musk, who is spearheading commercial space travel with his venture SpaceX, is also the founder of OpenAI, a nonprofit that promotes the "safe" development of AI. His stance puts him at odds with much of the tech industry, but echoes remarks of prominent voices like Stephen Hawking—who has also issued dire warnings about machine learning.

Ironically enough, it was OpenAI's own technology that managed to beat two professional eSports players at a major tournament, after only two weeks of practice. The Dota 2 contest is known to be extremely complex, pitting two teams against one another in a virtual battle arena.

Be very afraid: Elon Musk says people should fear A.I. more than North Korea

Well, in the short term North Korea is a bigger problem, but with AI if things go wrong it could get ugly real quick. Good video on the subject -

LOL fukk outta here

Space X is actually pushing the damned envelope. If you leave it to the way things were already going, launch costs would be 30-40 percent more along with the massive amount of waste incurred. See no farther than the SLS program for massive waste/pork. Musk haters are hilarious in that they nitpick on shyt with the dudes character, yet hes pushing the envelope in every industry he enters..
