I listened to a presentation by a former hacker now working for Microsoft. He said, an engineer invents something like a phone. Now you can make phone calls. A hacker asks, what else can I make it do? The ability to update the software in your car over the air sounds cool. But, what else can a person with bad intentions do with that capability? I think we have reached a point where our tools, that should be under the total control of the physical user, can now do things that user doesn’t want them to do. Frankly, I don’t want my appliances, for example, talking about me behind my back.

Yes. Within ten days, Elon Musk will be introducing the latest Tesla Bot robot, which is said to be going into production by end of this year.

In past interviews, Elon Musk has warned about the perils of AI becoming sentient. Imagine having the Tesla Bot giving you a massage, and going rogue.
