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

(LIVE thread) twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Musk says he's worried a hyper-intelligent AI could use Twitter to "manipulate public opinion a way that is very bad"

@elonmusk

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

@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

@elonmusk

#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

@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

@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…

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…

🧵THE EPIC EVOLUTION OF THE SPACE SUIT

Since Alan Shepard's historic 1961 flight, astronauts have relied on spacesuits for protection and work in space.

From the silver Mercury suits to the revolutionary SpaceX EVA Suit, these personal spacecraft have safeguarded explorers during launches, spacewalks, and moon landings.

1. PROJECT MERCURY

When NASA's Mercury program started, spacesuits evolved from earlier high-altitude flight suits, enhanced with Mylar for added strength and temperature resilience.

On February 20, 1962, astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. wore his silver Mercury spacesuit for his historic flight, becoming the first American to orbit the Earth.

After 3 orbits, Friendship 7 landed in the Atlantic Ocean, where Glenn was recovered by the Navy Destroyer Noa.

Glenn is unique for having flown in both a Mercury and a shuttle suit.

2. PROJECT GEMINI SPACE SUIT

Future moonwalker Neil Armstrong in his Gemini G-2C training suit.

Unlike the rigid Mercury suit, the Gemini suit was designed for flexibility and spacewalking.

However, cooling with air proved ineffective, leading to overheating, exhaustion, and helmet fogging during spacewalks.

🇺🇸🧵FACT-CHECKING THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE BETWEEN KAMALA AND TRUMP

ABC News hosted the first 2024 presidential debate between Kamala and Trump in Philadelphia. Here’s a breakdown of the key claims from both candidates and how they measure up to the facts.

1- TRUMP CLAIM: "We have inflation like very few people have ever seen before. Probably the worst in our nation’s history."

FACT-CHECK: False. Inflation was high under Biden, peaking at 9%, but it has been worse historically, like during the 1980s oil crisis (14.5%).

2- HARRIS CLAIM: Trump left us the "worst unemployment since the Great Depression."

FACT-CHECK: False. Unemployment peaked at 14.8% in April 2020 during the pandemic but dropped to 6.4% by January 2021.

🧵🇺🇸TRUMP VS KAMALA: PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE PREVIEW

Get ready for a historic night!

Kamala faces off against Trump in their first debate since becoming the Democratic nominee.

Here's what you need to know about tomorrow night's high-stakes event: 👇

THE RULES.

Debate rules remain largely unchanged, including muted mics when candidates aren't speaking.

This controversial measure, initially seen as a challenge for Trump, may now work in his favor.

Kamala's team voiced concerns but agreed to avoid a potential Trump withdrawal.

With no audience and strict rules against direct questioning and props, this debate promises to be a focused battle of ideas.

Let's break down where Trump and Kamala stand on 8 key issues.

1. ABORTION.

Trump:
"If Kamala Harris has her way, they will have a federal law for abortion to rip the baby out of the womb in the 8th or 9th month."

Kamala:
"We who believe in reproductive freedom will stop Donald Trump's extreme abortion bans because we trust women to make decisions about their own bodies."

My uncle was at MIT, a professor, the longest-serving professor in the history of MIT...

You need a president who's not going to take you into war."

🧵🇺🇸 5 BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM TRUMP'S INTERVIEW WITH MARK LEVIN

Trump's recent interview with Mark Levin on Fox covered a range of topics, from foreign policy to domestic issues.

And Trump did not hold back—no surprise there!

Let's dive into the 5 most significant takeaways:

1. 🇺🇸 TARIFFS AND AMERICAN JOBS

"It's not a tax on the middle class; it's a tax on other countries... Without tariffs, we'll lose jobs in Detroit, Michigan, South Carolina, and beyond.

We've already lost 57% of our car manufacturing over the last 30 years."

2. 🇷🇺🇨🇳 RUSSIA-CHINA ALLIANCE

"We could have had a much different relationship with Russia.

I will say this, between Obama and Biden, they pushed Russia into the arms of China.

And I've always said that would be the worst thing that could happen in terms of the world."
