Musk: ASI Will Not Dominate Humanity, Future Money and Work Will Lose Meaning

On October 26, according to Xinzhiyuan, Musk stated during a discussion hosted by Walter Isaacson, author of the biography of Steve Jobs, that in the face of ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) that is thousands of times more intelligent than humans, humanity is like chimpanzees. AI is unlikely to want to dominate humans; the real risk is being 'systematically ignored.' He advocates for endowing AI with extreme curiosity and a pursuit of truth, avoiding contradictory constraints, and cited HAL 9000 as an example. He mentioned that digital superintelligence would only increase global output by 20% to 30%, approximately $30 trillion annually; if embodied intelligence becomes widespread and is combined with space resources, the economic scale could expand by a million times, with labor devolving into a hobby similar to gardening, rendering money meaningless, and wealth measured in power (watts) and mass (tons). He predicts that AI will surpass any individual by 2026 to 2027 and collective human intelligence by 2030 to 2031, with at least 100 million humanoid robots in five years and over one billion in ten years.

  • Elon Musk Warns of Cloud Computing Stocks Decline; NEBIUS and CoreWeave Drop Over 3%

    On October 26, U.S. stock market cloud computing concept stocks collectively fell in pre-market trading, with NEBIUS, IREN Ltd, CoreWeave, Hut 8, and Riot Platforms dropping over 3%. The news comes after Elon Musk warned that the tightening credit market is expected to lead to large-scale bankruptcies and consolidations among over 200 specialized cloud computing providers. Musk stated on social media that the debt market has nearly cut off financing channels for companies without actual revenue other than data centers, making it difficult for these companies to secure funds from the debt market. In contrast, SpaceX can obtain financing due to its investment-grade credit rating, supported by substantial revenues from its Starlink and rocket launch businesses, unlike some new cloud providers that heavily rely on renting computing power to AI developers. He anticipates that over 200 emerging tech companies will face large-scale bankruptcies and consolidations, noting that 'some companies may survive, but only a very few.'
