Hey everybody, welcome back to the Elon Musk Podcast. This is a show where we discuss the critical Crossroads, The Shape, SpaceX, Tesla X, The Boring Company, and Neuralink, and I'm your host, Will Walden. If you want uninterrupted episodes of the Elon Musk podcast, please go to clubelon.supercast.com to find out how there's a link in the show notes. I'm saying this is something we should be quite concerned about, because if Robot can follow you
anywhere, then you know what? If they just one day get a software update and they're not so friendly anymore, then we've got a James Cameron movie on our heads, right? It's not the. It's not the obvious place you'd go to, but. Maybe that could be one of the tests for the AI. We should say like Blank is your favorite James Cameron movie. Fill in the blank. Well, I think we shouldn't trust it that much, actually.
It is actually quite, quite a significant challenge because we're getting to the point where even open source AI can pass human capture tests. So, you know, this is, are you a human? Identify all the traffic lights in this picture. You're like, OK, yeah, it's going to have a no problem doing that. In fact, it'll do it better than human and faster than human.
So we're like how do you, you know, at the point which is better, a better human, better passing human tests than humans, then well, what tests actually make sense? That is a real problem and I don't actually have a good solution to it. That one of the things we're trying to figure out on the X platform is how to deal with that because it really we really are at the point where even with with open source you know readily available AI you don't need to be sort of leading in the field.
You can actually be better than humans at passing these tests And that's sort of why we think well perhaps we should sort of charge up a dollar or a pound a year. It's a very tiny amount of money but it's it's still it still makes it privatively expensive to make a million bahts. So and especially if you need a million payment methods then you run out of sort of stolen credit cards pretty quickly.
So that that's that's sort of where we're thinking like we might have to sort of just charge some very tiny amount of money .3 cents a day effectively to deal with the the onslaught of AI powered bonds. And if and that that is, that is still a growing problem but it will be I think perhaps an insurmountable problem next year.
So and then you have to worry about, well manipulation of information is making something seem very popular when in fact it is not because it's getting boosted by all these likes and repos from AI powered bots. So that's why I sort of think so somewhat inevitably it leads to some small payment in order to dramatically increase the cost of a bot. So I think, I think frankly I think probably any social media system that doesn't do that will simply be overrun by bots.
Exactly to your point. I mean you the the images, it's it's you don't even need to steal somebody's picture because that's traceable. But you can actually just say create a new a new image of a person realistic looking that doesn't exist and and then create a a biography realistic that doesn't exist and do that on mass and and practically the only way to be able to tell us that the grammar's too good. Dick giveaway no typos. Come on.
Yeah. I mean some of it is is quite entertaining like the Pope in the puffa jacket. Have you seen that one That's amazing. But I mean I still run into people who who who think that's real. I'm like well what are the odds he's wearing a puffa jacket in July in Rome you know be sweating. But it actually looked quite quite dashing of the in fact I think AI fashion is going to be
a real thing. So I don't remember doom and gloom like we learned in the most interesting times and I think this is it is you know 8 like 80% likely to be good and 20% bad. I think we're, if we're cognizant and and careful about the bad part on balance actually it will be the future that we want or the for the future that is preferable. And and it actually will be a somewhat of a level an equalizer in the sense that you know, I think everyone will have access to goods and services and
education. And so, you know, I think probably it leads to more human happiness. So I I guess I'd probably leave on, on an optimistic note, yeah. That's it. Well, that's it. That is a great note to end on. Hey, thank you so much for listening today. I really do appreciate your
