    "Smarter" how? The statement is meaningless without elaboration, and Musk should (and probably does) know better.

    Musk talks a lot of trash. I suspect Ketamine.

      In 30 years it will be deliberately obscuring its expired tabs and driving without insurance.

        Why bother, in St. Louis, Missouri, it is a game to have [overly] expired tags. I recently went to a park and viewed 8 expired tags while walking the parking lot in one aisle. Many tags are over a year expired. But that is another discussion.

          Elon Musk predicates that AI will be smarter than humans ... next year. https://www.reuters.com/technology/teslas-musk-predicts-ai-will-be-smarter-than-smartest-human-next-year-2024-04-08/[^] So does that mean the self driving car he has been promising for 10 years will finally be here?

          What does that mean? Smarter than all people? Probably not. Probably just smarter than the average. That means, it has probably already achieved this...on average. There are a lot of dumb people dragging the average down. Especially now with smart phones and social media. Probably need a better comparison of smartness, than humans. :rolleyes:

            Yes, he will teach it to ask Siri. :)

              Yes that is what he supposedly said. From the article. "predicted development of artificial intelligence that was smarter than the smartest human "

                Do I know how fast I was goi... You know what, I think you are a robot. I'm going to need you to point to at least three deciduous coniferous trees in the vicinity.

                  I'm bummed out at just how bad it really is. Like I always knew cat videos owned the internet. But it's really really bad... the number of people infini-scrolling "The Ass That Went Phpplplt" (Idiocracy). I love that stuff too. My poison is kid videos where they're incredibly reckless and ignorant, or just incredible. But like, I won't do any entertainment that is one-way for much longer than a movie and lots of movies I just can't sit through anymore. I don't see this as a preferential thing. Unidirectional content is just objectively worse to consume when we're talking information gluttony. People are literally decimating their brains scrolling nonsense in the entirety of their "down time". I've spent hours scrolling Reddit, which probably isn't great by a stretch, but I don't really sub (echo chamber dodge) and so what comes is pretty eclectic and my choice clicks are more article driven than watching 100 two minute videos of different people doing the same latest dance moves while keeping a banana balanced on their shoulder. We're probably all gonna die because we collectively manage to become so much more stupid so quickly.

                    Yeah, it's really bad because it casts a haze over your thinking, and when I do get carried away I come away thinking, "Where have I been for the last hour?" I never feel smarter or informed, even when i watch "intelligent" youtube where I'm learning something. Often I watch something that is just so dumb I feel dumber.

                    I'm a life-long learner (love learning and reading) so I'm always trying to learn. However, I've noticed that for a long while now I feel burned out. I watch videos where the person is extremely good at talking and explaining and I come away thinking, "hmm... I guess I don't know anything that is intereting anyways." I also notice that even thought I'm "learning" interesting things, since I don't really think on it much it is only a slight feeling of learning and I'm on to the next "interesting" video. So I'm not really learning anything. I'm just evaluating what others have supposedly learned. However, when I read on a subject and apply the things I learn then I actually gain knowledge. But, the youtube is so addictive that I watch more of it than I actually read now. Oy! I'm definitely getting dumber. You can't really learn in depth from these video snapshots. I recently created a spreadsheet to track two things: Learning Projects Working Projects I simply add the number of minutes I either spent learning on a project or building a project. I get to the end of the day and have like 10 minutes in the projects I think are important because I spent so friggin' much time on youtube that I've wasted the day. Oy! Tracking my time is getting me there though. I'll be building again soon. :thumbsup:

                      I watch James Hoffman talk about coffee on YT and I don't even care THAT much about coffee. He's just obviously knowledgeable and a good speaker. Just crossing my fingers for another decade before "go away, baitin'" is actual discourse of reality.
