Grok is closed source and requires fiat payment, ie it has total surveillance built-in. That is a very dangerous path for strong AI that Elon should know better about. Like I said, imo, insistence on centralization and surveillance tech, if not his downfall, will be the downfall of humanity into digital slavery. This irony make me disbelieve anything he says regarding his supposed giving a shit about the future of humanity.
I think it’s he’s blind on that side. It’s hard to fully grasp a system that you’re so close to. Cantillionism has built him up, so he cannot really see it in its entirety only specific problems.
Which is imo also why he doesn’t understand money
Wealthiest man on Earth doesn’t understand money?
My understanding of him is that he wants to be in the history books as the guy who made humanity multi-planetary - even if he has to write that book himself. THAT is his only motivation and everything else are means towards it, including right and wrong.
