Elon and Google had backed Demis and the team at DeepMind when they were an independent company.

Then Elon was like, oh my God, Google's gonna buy this.

And I remember having the conversation with Elon about this.

We have to figure out a way for DeepMind not to go to Google.

We have to block this somehow.

And he begged those folks to not sell to Google because Google was running the table on everything and he wanted this technology to be independent and he was on the board of the company.

And when Google got it, he just said, this technology is too powerful for any one person.

So, like, once again, you got to give Elon a lot of credit.

He saw the writing on the wall.

If one person can, and he saw it 15, 20 years ago, and him and Sam Harris used to debate this over dinner, you know, what happens if somebody controls this?

Right.

And they run away with it.

It would be extremely dangerous.

It has to be available to all the people.

Essentially, the Pope's position, it has to be in the service of humanity, not ruled by one person.

It's far too powerful.

These are delusions of grandeur.

Let's call it what it is.

They believe that they are so intelligent.

I know some of these folks, the Burning Man sort of offshoot of it, transhumanism.
