Hey everybody, welcome back to the Elon Musk Podcast.
This is a show where we discuss the critical Crossroads, The
Shape, SpaceX, Tesla X, The Boring Company, and Neuralink,
and I'm your host, Will Walden. If you want uninterrupted
episodes of the Elon Musk podcast, please go to
clubelon.supercast.com to find out how there's a link in the
show notes. I'm saying this is something we
should be quite concerned about, because if Robot can follow you
anywhere, then you know what? If they just one day get a
software update and they're not so friendly anymore, then we've
got a James Cameron movie on our heads, right?
It's not the. It's not the obvious place you'd
go to, but. Maybe that could be one of the
tests for the AI. We should say like Blank is your
favorite James Cameron movie. Fill in the blank.
Well, I think we shouldn't trust it that much, actually.
It is actually quite, quite a significant challenge because
we're getting to the point where even open source AI can pass
human capture tests. So, you know, this is, are you a
human? Identify all the traffic lights
in this picture. You're like, OK, yeah, it's
going to have a no problem doing that.
In fact, it'll do it better than human and faster than human.
So we're like how do you, you know, at the point which is
better, a better human, better passing human tests than humans,
then well, what tests actually make sense?
That is a real problem and I don't actually have a good
solution to it. That one of the things we're
trying to figure out on the X platform is how to deal with
that because it really we really are at the point where even with
with open source you know readily available AI you don't
need to be sort of leading in the field.
You can actually be better than humans at passing these tests
And that's sort of why we think well perhaps we should sort of
charge up a dollar or a pound a year.
It's a very tiny amount of money but it's it's still it still
makes it privatively expensive to make a million bahts.
So and especially if you need a million payment methods then you
run out of sort of stolen credit cards pretty quickly.
So that that's that's sort of where we're thinking like we
might have to sort of just charge some very tiny amount of
money .3 cents a day effectively to deal with the the onslaught
of AI powered bonds. And if and that that is, that is
still a growing problem but it will be I think perhaps an
insurmountable problem next year.
So and then you have to worry about, well manipulation of
information is making something seem very popular when in fact
it is not because it's getting boosted by all these likes and
repos from AI powered bots. So that's why I sort of think so
somewhat inevitably it leads to some small payment in order to
dramatically increase the cost of a bot.
So I think, I think frankly I think probably any social media
system that doesn't do that will simply be overrun by bots.
Exactly to your point. I mean you the the images, it's
it's you don't even need to steal somebody's picture because
that's traceable. But you can actually just say
create a new a new image of a person realistic looking that
doesn't exist and and then create a a biography realistic
that doesn't exist and do that on mass and and practically the
only way to be able to tell us that the grammar's too good.
Dick giveaway no typos. Come on.
Yeah. I mean some of it is is quite
entertaining like the Pope in the puffa jacket.
Have you seen that one That's amazing.
But I mean I still run into people who who who think that's
real. I'm like well what are the odds
he's wearing a puffa jacket in July in Rome you know be
sweating. But it actually looked quite
quite dashing of the in fact I think AI fashion is going to be
a real thing. So I don't remember doom and
gloom like we learned in the most interesting times and I
think this is it is you know 8 like 80% likely to be good and
20% bad. I think we're, if we're
cognizant and and careful about the bad part on balance actually
it will be the future that we want or the for the future that
is preferable. And and it actually will be a
somewhat of a level an equalizer in the sense that you know, I
think everyone will have access to goods and services and
education. And so, you know, I think
probably it leads to more human happiness.
So I I guess I'd probably leave on, on an optimistic note, yeah.
That's it. Well, that's it.
That is a great note to end on. Hey, thank you so much for
