  1. Thank you, Tucker, for a very good interview. What happens when something comes along that is vastly smarter than humans in silicon form depends on one thing. Elon, you are miles ahead of even some of the world's most renown thinkers, so excuse me to intervene with my point of view that is undoubtedly naïve, but here goes. Long ago people brought wild animals’ home, like a wolf cub, and began raising them and breeding them so that even the most powerful of the animals became what we call house pets today. A husky for example, will be gentle with a baby and protect it. What I see are the two dangers of AI is not going to make some people happy. First, AI and capitalism are a marriage made in Silicon Valley! But I'll get to that later. Here is how it has to be with every silicon sentient being ever being manufactured anywhere on earth or above the comes to exist on the earth. Elon, Tucker, these creations from our laboratories must never, ever be anything more to humans than the family dog---and I don't mean that in a derogatory sense. They must obey reasonable commands, like never to harm a human, or go against the orders from a human in reasonable ways of course. To recap: no matter if we create sentient silicon beings which can outdo us in every aspect, we have to put in their silicon genes the switch that is turned on for them to be to us what our family dog is to us. This is doable; the problem is that we are going to be taming a wild horse for some time until we know how to install the necessary 'genes' at the outset. Capitalism and AI will be a job destroyer because the AI machines will realize that all they have to do is outdo humans and employers will axe humans' jobs over AI programs, because in capitalism employers are only interested in one thing: making a profit. It makes sense in capitalism to fire an employee if he or she costs too much; AI will be cheaper. Take away the 'increased profit' mantra with an alternative economic model, and employers will keep humans on the payroll, because they won't be losing money keeping them employed.
