Um Ian Banks had a very different political philosophy.

I knew that Elon Musk thought of the culture series by In Banks as being

A sort of guide to what this

best possible future could be like.

Even that sort of utopian idea of an AI led world was somewhat alarming.

But I think the big takeaway for me was that he is

Building this future, going at it as fast as he possibly can.

He has decided that it is unstoppable AI and therefore.

You can try and shape it.

He thinks the best we can hope for is

to ensure that they have the right kind of values and that we can shape the AIs into being in the lingo aligned with humans.

There is a lot of focus on what needs to happen now to prevent AI catastrophe.

You all dislike each other.
