Chapter 1
Divine truth
Everyone arrived, but Elon Musk was late as usual. This was the summer of 2015, and a group of men gathered for a special dinner in the call of Sam Al -Taman to discuss the future of artificial and human intelligence.
Musk Altman, fourteen years of his young, met a while ago and a good impression. The head of the famous Silicon Valley of Silicon Restart, preceded by Altman’s reputation. After he started his first company at the age of nineteen, he quickly established himself inside the Silicon Valley as a wonderful strategic expert and a deal maker with great ambitions, even for the lands of the great founders. Musk found that it is smart, paid, and most importantly, a person who adopts views such as the need to carefully develop and rule artificial intelligence. The matter was as if Musk would be described in a lawsuit after years, Altman reflected everything that Musk said about the topic to win his confidence.
On the side of Altman, he often said that Musk was the childhood champion. After the older entrepreneur has shown it around the spaxer -ending Spacex factory in Huhthorne, California, this admiration has only deepened. “The thing he held in memory is the appearance of the absolute certainty of his face when he talked about sending large missiles to Mars,” Germans later wrote the experiment. She left thinking, huh, so this is the criterion for what it seems to be condemnation. “
Musk was very concerned about artificial intelligence for some time. In 2012, Dimis met Shasbis, CEO of Professor Technology, which is based in London’s artificial intelligence. Shortly later, Hassabis also visited Musk at the Spacex Factory. When the two men sat in the cafeteria, surrounded by the sounds of the huge missile parts that are transported and assembled, the Hasabian caused the possibility that it would be more advanced than artificial intelligence, of the type that may exceed human intelligence one day, may pose a threat to humanity. Moreover, Musk’s Fail -Suefe in the colonization of Mars to escape will not work in this scenario. Account said that SuperInte Britivity, with entertainment, will simply follow humans to the galaxy. Musk, which was definitely less entertaining, invest $ 5 million in Deepmind to keep the tabs on the company.
Later, at his 2013 birthday party in the landscape that grows lush wine in the Napa Valley, MUSK entered into a hot and emotional discussion with his friend for a long time and the founder of Google Larry Big about whether artificial intelligence is actually a problem. The page did not think that, describing it as the next stage of development. When Musk has passed, page accused him of “specifications”, discrimination against non -human species.
After that, Musk began to talk constantly about the existential danger of artificial intelligence. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Symposium, Amnesty International described it as “the largest existential threat” of humanity and its development as “calling Satan”. He met publishers in New York, while thinking about writing his own book on the levels of extinction, including artificial intelligence. Later, at a repeated salon event in Stanford, a young researcher named Timnit Gebru will come to him after a conversation and asks him about the reason for his interest in the Ajlis Organization when the threat of climate change was more clear. “The climate change is bad, but it will not kill everyone,” he said. “Amnesty International can extinct humanity.”
