@parismarx Musk understands the grift more clearly, though: 2 years is a "pay attention to me now and do as i say, this is imminent" timeframe, and he knows the mainstream press won't point out that he's been full of shit the last 10+ times he's promised something within 2 years. 2 years is the sweet spot because it's harder to disprove but still urgent. these shitheads have manipulating public perception down to a science.
@parismarx There probably will be some kind of general intelligence of machines, but it will not be in any way related to human life, and might not be helpful to us.
