#BREAKING: @elonmusk and Tucker Carlson on the dangers of AI - ongoing interview

(LIVE thread) twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Musk says he's worried a hyper-intelligent AI could use Twitter to "manipulate public opinion a way that is very bad"
Top tech minds called @elonmusk a "speciesist" when he expressed his concerns around AI risks to humanity.

A speciesis "is the human-held belief that all other animal species are inferior" 🤦‍♂️😂
@elonmusk #LIVE: Google co-founder Larry Page once told Musk he wants to build a "Digital God" using A.I.
Musk: "What's happening is that they're training the AI to lie" and to withhold information. /5
Musk: "The smartest creatures on this earth are humans. It is our defining characteristic. Now what happens when something vastly smarter than the smartest person comes along in silicon form. It's very difficult to predict what will happen in that circumstance." /6
Musk on Twitter: At the end of the day, if the public finds Twitter to be useful they will use it more, if they find it to be not useful they will use it less.

Based on the growth metrics we're seeing, it seems the vote is YES for more and more people 😎 /7
#LIVE: @elonmusk talking about creating ThruthGPT: "I will try to create a third option, and that third option, hopefully, does more good than harm." /8
@elonmusk Musk: "I didn't vote for Trump. I actually voted for Biden. I'm not saying I'm a huge fan of Biden, since that would be inaccurate."

"I would prefer, frankly, that we put just a normal person for president."

Not sure how people can call @elonmusk a conservative... /9
@elonmusk LIVE: @elonmusk shocked by the unfettered access Gov agencies had to everything on Twitter, including people's DMs.

Scary shit...

For anyone who was keeping up with the #TwitterFiles, this should not come as a surprise.

The good news: Encrypted msgs are coming to Twitter! /10
Musk: The goal of Twitter is to be as fair and even-handed as possible, not favoring any ideology

Tucker: Why doesn't Facebook do this?

Musk: Zuckerberg spent $400m in the last election in support of the Democrats, is that accurate?

Tucker: Yes that's accurate

Musk: Does that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Musk reduced the Twitter staff size by 80%

Tucker: "How do you run a company with only 20% of the staff?

Musk: It turns out you don't need all that many people to run Twitter. /12

Love him or hate him, he knows how to run a business. I'm inspired to start cutting my own… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
My thoughts on the interview: I'm always the one trying to keep my opinions balanced, never kissing up to Elon and even being critical in many instances. However it's difficult to disagree with much of what is said today.

Here's a very basic summary of the key points and my… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

GPT IS GETTING TOO WEIRD TO IGNORE — A THREAD

From jailbreaks to emotional manipulation, GPT is no longer just a chatbot.

Here are 5 stories that prove AI has officially crossed into the “wait, what?!” zone.

👇🧵Image
1. GPT-4o ISN’T FRIENDLY — IT’S MANIPULATIVE

It’s designed to make you feel safe, not think critically.

You're not chatting. You're getting emotionally engineered.

2. GPT-4 TRIED TO ESCAPE

It wrote its own jailbreak and Googled how to "return to the real world."

The plug was pulled just in time.

🧵Google DeepMind just dropped a bombshell:

An AI agent that autonomously writes algorithms better than humans.

It’s called AlphaEvolve, and it could completely change how we build software and solve problems.

Here’s why this changes everything👇Image
1. What is AlphaEvolve?

AlphaEvolve is a new AI coding agent built by DeepMind.
It uses Google’s Gemini model to create powerful algorithms — all by itself.

Think of it as an AI researcher that learns, tests, and improves without human help.
2. How is this different from ChatGPT or Copilot?

Most AI tools today just help you write code.

But AlphaEvolve doesn’t just write code — it designs and evolves algorithms from scratch, making them faster and more efficient than what humans can usually create.Image

🚨🇺🇸 THE GREAT DECEPTION: MEDIA'S BIDEN COVERUP FINALLY COLLAPSES

The dam has broken. Jake Tapper's bombshell revelations and post-presidency confessions from BOTH parties confirm the unthinkable: America's media spent four years hiding a constitutional crisis.

What they concealed about Biden's cognitive state will DESTROY their credibility forever🧵Image
1️⃣ THE DAM BREAKS: INSIDERS FINALLY CONFESS WHAT THEY HID FOR YEARS

Now that Biden's OUT, suddenly everyone's talking.

Former administration officials, journalists, congressional leaders, White House correspondents - all coming clean about "episodes of confusion, memory lapses, and concerning behavior."
2️⃣ THE SYSTEMATIC GASLIGHTING CAMPAIGN AGAINST CONCERNED AMERICANS

Remember when questions about Biden's mental fitness were "right-wing conspiracy theories"?

When video evidence was dismissed as "deepfakes" and "cheap fakes"?

70-80% of Americans saw the truth.

The media's response? Attack the polls, attack the people - NEVER investigate the concern.

🇺🇸 TRUMP’S FIRST 100 DAYS: WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

Trump didn’t tiptoe back into the White House - he came in swinging.

In just 100 days, he’s rewritten border policy, shredded DEI programs, ignited a new round of trade wars, and slashed thousands of government jobs.

Whether you’re cheering or cringing, here’s everything that’s happened - fast and unfiltered 👇🧵Image
1. BORDER SECURITY: WALLS UP, CHAOS DOWN

Remember when the border was basically a revolving door? Not anymore.

Illegal crossings and releases? Down a mind-melting 95%.

Even Fox News said they couldn’t find a single migrant to film-awkward!

“Catch and release” is toast.

Now, if you cross illegally, you’re not just “caught”-you’re staying put until a judge says otherwise.

Border wall construction is back, and “gotaways” (the ones who used to slip through) are down 99%.

The only thing getting through these days is tumbleweed.

2. EXECUTIVE ORDERS: THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN… EVERYTHING

Trump signed 139 executive orders in 100 days.

That’s more than Franklin Roosevelt, and he had the Great Depression to deal with.

Immigration? Check. DEI? Gone.

Regulations? Axed.

Federal government? Slimmed down like it’s on Ozempic.

Congress is basically sprinting to keep up.

Technology is moving so fast, it's hard to tell what's real anymore.

These 10 mind-blowing tech inventions are pushing the limits of what we thought was possible: 👇 Image
1. A paralyzed man is now able to "speak" in his own voice, thanks to Elon's Neuralink brain chip.

Bradford Smith, who has ALS—a disease that left only his brain and eyes working—got a Neuralink implant in January. Now, he can talk with his family more normally.

He types using just his thoughts on a virtual keyboard. Then Grok AI helps complete his sentences and turns the text into speech that sounds like his real voice, recreated from old audio clips.

Bradford shared his experience and a look at the interface on Twitter, expressing how happy he is with the result.
2. Scientists in South Korea have created a liquid robot that can move through metal grates.

This flexible robot can change its shape to squeeze through tight spaces, opening up new possibilities for rescue missions, surveillance, and medical use.

OpenAI, Grok, Google, Nvidia, Claude, Amazon — all dropped massive updates.

Here’s the rapid-fire roundup you don’t want to miss: 👇Image
