Podcast Notes 11) The Joe Rogan Experience #1169 – Elon Musk

• It will be very tempting to use AI as a weapon (and it will probably happen)
• “A company is essentially a cybernetic collective, of people and machines”
  • Google, plus all the humans that use it, are one giant cybernetic collective
    • We’re all effectively programming their AI – This is also true of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
• Elon was once a big proponent of slowing down AI development and regulating it more heavily –this is talked about in the book, Life 3.0
• The scenario in which we merge with AI is the one that probably turns out best for us
  • “If you can’t beat it, join it”
• “Your phone is already an extension of you. You’re already a cyborg, and most people don’t realize it.”
  • But – The communication rate between you and your phone/computer is very slow (compared to what it could be) – this is the problem Neuralink is setting out to solve
• “I think a Tesla is the most fun thing you could possibly ever buy”
  • “It’s not a car, it’s a thing to maximize enjoyment”
• I don’t think you’d necessarily want to be me. I don’t think people would like it that much.”
  • Elon says the worst part about “being him” – “It’s very hard to turn it off”
• “Give people the benefit of the doubt. Assume they’re good until proven otherwise. Most people are pretty good people.”
  • “This may sound corny, but love is the answer”
  • “It wouldn’t hurt to have more love in the world
