ELON: LIKE IT OR NOT, HUMANITY IS BUILDING HYPERINTELLIGENT AIs “The reality of what's happening, whether one likes it or not, is that we're building superintelligent AIs. Hyperintelligent, more intelligent than we can comprehend. Let's say you have a child that is a super genius child that you know is going to be much smarter than you, then, well, what can you do? You can instill good values in how you raise that child, even though you know it's going to be far smarter than you. You can make sure it's got good values, philanthropic values, good morals, honest, productive, that kind of thing. At the end of the day, I don't think we'll be able to control it. So I think the best we can do is make sure it grows up well.” Source: Interview with @TuckerCarlson, October 2024

Several voices treat AGI as inevitable and near-term (mentions of “AGI in 2026” and “AI is out of the bottle”), fueling both resignation and heightened concern about preparedness

Some responses turn to spiritual and moral anchors — calls for AI to “find Jesus” or to pursue what is noble, holy, and truthful appear alongside secular arguments for safety

Try using Grok to help work on a vehicle and its limitations quickly become apparent. Just the other day it gave me the wrong conversion for Nm to ft-lbs. That is a constant that never changes and it got it wrong. AIs are still very flawed.
