When I watched this video, I had to do a second take. I thought I had misunderstood this man's words, but I was not mistaken. I am still amazed at what he said to the audience in trying to explain the sinister facets of artificial intelligence. As Elon Musk had said at an earlier time, "we are summoning the demon."

This, too, is amazing to me, as Musk helped to create A.I. I don't know if any of you have noticed, but Elon has been on the downside of luck recently. He has had accident after accident with his inventions. I am really concerned for him, as he said earlier that "humans were underrated."

He said this, as the accidents had begun to occur in his factories. He went in himself to investigate why these accidents were occurring. What happened next was amazing. He found that the flaws found in his products were coming from A.I. he had replaced his human workers with.

That is when he made the statement, "humans are underrated." He then hired his workers back.

"Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk just paid a rare compliment to his own species, calling humans "underrated" on Twitter last week.

What brought about this somewhat underwhelming accolade? Musk had directed Tesla to adopt advanced automation as the assembly line for Tesla's new sedan, the Model 3 electric car. But now that Tesla is behind in making the cars, its customers on the waiting list are grumbling.

"Yes, excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake," Musk wrote in the April 13 tweet. "To be precise, my mistake. Humans are underrated."


Now we have the above Tech genius making the following remark - I am very perplexed.


Go to 2:52 and listen to carefully.
"AI [artificial intelligence] is just like that. So when this thing that I'm talking about happens . . . one thing I can tell you is they're not going to be like us.

Alien means, you know, different. These things that we're building are not going to be people. They might be really smart, they might be really good at all sorts of things, but they're not gonna be like us. They're gonna be aliens, and they're gonna be - I'm sorry to say - way smarter than every single person in this room, in ways that we can't even be comprehend.

So this, of course, triggers a lot of alarm. One of the guys who talks about this is Elon [Musk], who says things like this - 'When you do this, beware. Because you think . . . that when you do this, you're gonna put that . . . little guy in a pentagram, and you're gonna have your holy water out, and you're gonna wave it at the thing and, by God, it's gonna do exactly what you say and not one thing more. But it never works out that way.'

So this is an attitude that some are having - this emerging alarmism about the way this [artificial intelligence] is gonna go. But these words, 'demons,' doesn't capture the essence of what's happening here. I don't know if any of you are turn-of-the-century weird fiction fans, but there's a guy named H. P. Lovecraft, who's a very famous American weird fiction author, and he exposed a view which is called cosmicism.

The essence of cosmicism is cosmic indifference. So what he was saying is basically 'Yes, there are these massively intelligent entities out there, but they're not good, they're not evil, they just don't give a shit about you, even in the slightest. The same way that you don't care about an ant, is the same way they're not gonna care about you.'

And these things that we're summoning into the world now are not demons, they're not evil, but they're more like the Lovecraftian 'Great Old Ones'. There are entities that are not necessarily going to be aligned with what we want. So this transition [to a world full of powerful intelligent robots] is really really massively important for our entire species to navigate and, going back to that thing that Sam Harris was saying, nobody is paying attention. This thing is happening in the background, while people bicker about politics and what's gonna be in the health care plan in the U.S., while underneath it all is this rising tsunami that, if we're not careful, is going to wipe us all out."
In conclusion, I think we had better start to pay attention. This must be way more advanced than what we know, so we must be aware of what is most likely another great deception. Google is, of course, going to take the lead in this deception.
