I don't see the point. Do you want progress or not? I can only imagine the conversations people were having after nuclear energy's big debut. 200k ppl wiped out from the click of a button. It shouldn't have been allowed but that's another debate. For this conversation, the world had a new energy source and have since refrained from annihilating each other.

AI may play out the same way. If it becomes highly disruptive there will be growing pains. But humans throughout history have always found something to do. New jobs, new ways of life. I say bring it on

This is absurd. Off the top of my head, Netflix and Amazon are down more than Tesla. The S&P 500 is down 20%. Apple performed the best of FAANG stocks and is down 25%. Using these bear market numbers to discredit Musk or any of the major players is short sighted. The reality is most of them are only getting bigger.

Another garbage prediction. We already have a sizable depressed overweight population that's addicted to screens. Gyms haven't gone out of business and people still go outside. I love music, there's an unlimited supply of it, I still enjoy watching average people at an open mic night. The variety of food nowadays is off the charts and yet I still enjoy scrambling eggs.

You don't have to look to the future to wrap your mind around all of this. The wealthy already have "robots" to do everyday menial tasks. They have the option to never work another day in their life. Yet mark Cuban is running a basketball team and trying to disrupt the drug industry. Paris Hilton is a dj or something. Donald Trump wants to spend the rest of his life being investigated instead of playing golf.

AI may come with some serious problems but not everyone will lay down and die like you want to. Humans are adaptive creatures with strange ambitions
