This is the same guy who wants robots to take over the world. I believe one of his comments was that AI will so far surpass humanity that it could very well wipe out humanity - his analogy was "When we build a highway and wipe out an ant colony it's not because we hate the ants, we're just building highway, no hard feelings."

I don't understand the folks who are putting Elon up on a pedestal.

“...In 2002, Griffin was President and COO of In-Q-Tel, a private enterprise funded by the CIA to identify and invest in companies developing cutting-edge technologies that serve national security interests. During this time, he met entrepreneur Elon Musk and accompanied him on a trip to Russia where they attempted to purchase ICBMs.”

Insofar as strictly the "AI will so far surpass humanity" part, the Singularity™ is coming, sooner than later.

It will be the ugliest moment of an ugly century.

As for the "it could very well wipe out humanity", much depends on what is done to 'disrupt' and 'disarm' the Singularity™ once it has been unveiled by Googlebook or whatever, and is quickly discovered to be fatally internally flawed, the autists having based their godhead almost entirely on their narrow world-view, autistic-centered 'math', and not properly accounting for non-'math' variables.

Which is still L.O.F.L. plus Schadenfreude! this far out of the unveiling.
