Asking the opinion of someone who thinks AI can be compared with a simple mechanism like a telephone is a waste of time. Having a CEO title, even of a company like Google, doesnâ(TM)t convey expert knowledge of abstruse technical concepts.
Elon anticipates the worst because humanity has without exception shown that it can and will find the absolute worst things that can be done with any technology. Expecting that to change for AI is Pollyanna-thinking.

Non-click-baity headlines:

"Old Media Gatekeeper Complains Bitterly About New Media Gatekeepers"

and

"Hey You Kids, Get Off My Lawn!"

The saddest five words ever:

Breakfast has no mystical powers.

.. in the Dutch and start buying some bilge pumps. Or maybe just skip right to the end-state solution and dome the thing for underwater existence for the eventual new shoreline in Georgia.

And it's a great day for astronomy folks... what? It's a typo? I'm shocked, shocked to find that an article on Slashdot was not capably edited prior to submission.

4) Slashdot scrum ensues.
5) Profit? (Who, exactly?)

bought Motorola for anything other than the patents, you're just fooling yourself. Having Motorola Mobility come with them was just the secret decoder ring in the cereal box. MM is not really as fun as it seemed at first, so time to put the toys away.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Whew. Thanks, that was a good one.
Wait, they're serious?
HA HA HA HA HA!

Um, how about it's because Tesla makes real cars and not bad sci-fi movie props.

Seriously, this is like the worst of the military command structure, where every time a new commander steps in they have to change everything around just to pad their package.
It doesn't need to be "flat". Doing that says that the height of design style was AOL in 1997.
Ives, stop being an ego-maniacal clown and try introducing some real design improvements.

tchotkes that will set off your hay fever. Can't wait.

the great and powerful! If you want to see the boson you must bring me an 11th dimensional super string. That shouldn't take you more than 2 years.

In a related announcement, they will also be testing particulate matter concentrations with sensors mounted on diesel semi-tractors driven around the port facilities.
