Just a reminder that Elon believes in Roko's basilisk, a highly flawed thought experiment where an AI in the future will punish him forever if he does not help bring it into existence.

There are two ways to prevent being tortured forever: (1) prevent it from coming to exist, (2) ensure that it does come to exist and that it knows that you tried to help it along.

Him pushing for AI research regulations earlier actually falls into category number two, since he wants to be the one to own / operate the basilisk.

Roko's Basilisk is even stupider than that. It is predicated on the idea of the ai hyperintelligence deciding to make simulations of people that wronged it by not helping it come into existence and then torturing those simulations in revenge. Who gives a single thought to what a hypothetical deranged ai does to a hypothetical eidolon of yourself? It is like being afraid of the possibility of someone burning an effigy of you because you didn't care about someone who is not likely to ever even exist. Taking a ridiculous thought experiment like that seriously is the sign of a sick person who needs to have their access to internet strictly curated.

Ultra wealthy people don't have friends just people who they tolerate but secretly hate their guts and are ultra competitive with who has the bigger yacht or spaceship. Warning hour long video if that bothers you.

i'm sorry the dude doing the bbc interview is badly prepared. i know elon didn't give them advanced notice and they had 20 minutes but the guy they chose is bad. when elon asks, "what hateful speech" the counter is easily, "well all the nazi's you unbanned", "andrew tate?"., etc.. etc but this dude is like, "well someone said something sexist"

I don’t think it was ever alleged Elon owned the mine, it was his dad though. Or is that the technicality they’ll use to get out of paying

i'm pretty sure the technicality is that the emerald mine is just something elon lied about a couple of times to give his backstory some zhuzh and never really existed, but imo the fact that he thought that his dad owning shares in an emerald mine was a cool lie that would make him seem cooler is more important than whether or not it was ever true.

elon's the sole source of the emerald mine claims so why should anybody else bother proving it.

quote:

There, the two South Africans ran into a group of Italians who, as it happened, were in the market for an airplane. Errol named his price, and a deal was done.

“So we went to this guy's prefab and he opened his safe and there was just stacks of money and he paid me out, £80,000, it was a huge amount of money,” he said.

Standing with the cash in his hand, Errol was made another offer he couldn’t refuse: Would he like to buy half an emerald mine for half of his new riches?

“I said, ‘Oh, all right’. So I became a half owner of the mine, and we got emeralds for the next six years.”

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

We sat by the launchpad
We spoke of news and hate
Although I wasn't mad
He said I was irate
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
"I've got so many loans
and I may die alone"

Oh no, not me
I'll never go unheard
You're face to face
With the man who bought the bird

I laughed and shook his hand
and thought of how I'd gloat
All journos should be banned
For hours and hours I post
I gaze in sad defeat
At all the million tweets
"You've got so many loans
and you will die alone"

Oh yes, it's me
I'll never go unheard
You're face to face
With the man who bought the bird

I can no longer reply to any tweets except my own tweets, when I type something in and hit 'reply' nothing happens. the button does not move or change in any way. I haven't gotten any notifications about being banned or anything so I assume this is just twitter breaking in a new and dumb way. haven't seen anyone else complain about it so i guess it's some new level of shadowbanning or something?
