The Future

Lex interviews George Hotz again, and interesting conversation ensues.

AI isn't going to physically destroy humanity, only distract us so thoroughly that we no longer reproduce or have anything resembling free will or thought.

I was mocked in another forum for saying that Twitter employees could be cut by 75%, and we'd hardly tell any difference. That would be 2,000 remaining employees.

George says Twitter could be 50 employees at about 2:20



My personality is very similar to his, except of course he's way more intelligent and motivated. He started Comma AI to beat Elon at self-driving.

Interesting take on god. He used to be an atheist by default (his parents were), but he said it's crazy to be a creator while simultaneously denying being part of creation.

The last remaining job will be prompt engineer.

Resilient machines self-replicate. Robots will not be resilient until they can multiply by themselves; something which is trivial for all other life.
