Not new news. It's a scary concept, I'm not convinced it's a good idea, however - it will be part of our future whether we want it to be or not. If the USA doesn't perfect it first, some other country will. Eventually, ALL countries will have it, and many countries already have access to it. AI is already here, you can use it on multiple platforms already.

I think you're absolutely right about Musk's motivation.
I recently saw a very simple example of AI. Someone who was leading a discussion on the subject had asked a computer to write a poem on the topic of AI being discussed by a group. The AI wrote several stanzas. (too many actually) Only two or three words in the whole thing were awkwardly used.....
Now, I know not many people give a rat's patootie about AI writing a poem, but I gotta tellya, it creeped me out because of where that ability can go.
Now, Hollywood is expecting a writers' strike. The last time there was a writers' strike, television spawned more and more reality shows for the easily amused who got hooked, so then the reality shows stayed and multiplied. Let's face it. Millions of Americans have an insatiable taste for $#!+. Writers' strike? AI could find that niche and fill it fast. That would only be practice for AI, just an easy workout, a warm up.
AI is going to own us. Well, maybe not quite us, but our kids and grandkids. And there is nothing we can do to stop it, so I just try not to think too much about it.
