    • only the 3th stage will be dangerous for humanity (ASI)…
      stage 1(ANI) and Stage 2(AGI) is the A.I she is talking about…and will enhance humanity.

    • Billionaires psychotically hoarding wealth and resources are the only real danger humanity faces. There should be no billionaires. Elon is the enemy that will leverage AI against the rest of humanity, and it’s already started.

    • @Create Quantum Wealth yeah it is stupid to allow someone to take billions of dollars in resources from an economy that is built by people who couldn’t miss a paycheck without shutting off essential services or becoming homeless. You’re right.

      Almost as stupid as it was to let the wealthy son of an apartheid emerald mine owner leverage that ill gotten wealth against the dot com boom for profit, and then subsequently allowing that same psychopathic wealth consolidator to pour that mass of resources into retailing the talents of 10’s of thousands of highly skilled people to fulfill his life long rich boy dream of owning a planet.

      All that money Elon has, he took. The people who earned it, did the actual work, they were all left with nothing but the lowest possible wages Elon could get away with paying them. That’s literally how wealth is made. You take the efforts of many people and figure out how to pay them less than those efforts are worth.

      So yeah, it’s pretty stupid..

    • That’s why these globalist are pushing it on us, like it or not we are living in on a prison planet. Thank God there is life after death.

  1. Sorry choking so hard on this brainwashing propaganda, might need a while to recover from this blatant programming and perception control.

  2. Instead of A.I and programming the brain and all of that all of that totalitarian jazz. Why can’t we just have some human decency.

  3. Did anyone else pickup on the fact she is advocating for AI to report and record everyone’s work habits at all times on a factory line. I’ve worked on factory lines with supervisors that do that and nothing else. It is a horrible experience.

    • WE can make it so. Just stop fucking, use your hands instead. Problem solved a hundred years down the line. Its so easy. Then the Dogs and Elephants can push on with climate change.

  4. You want to help go help the poor kids in africa get fresh water and food. You make your company sound so good and helpful. But in reality you are taking jobs and padding your bottom line. Quit w the A.I. you are a fraud

  5. Eliminating all potential bias…DONE
    Optimizing profits…DONE
    AI: Only hiring men will maximize profits.
    Engineer: Not quite what I expected…let’s tweak it a little bit

    Installing Discrimination module…DONE
    AI: Only hire women.

    And that’s the story of how sexism was ended thanks to the objectivity of AI

  6. People will still buy these ideas that promote controlling people for what is depicted as “good” and “secure” population management.
