Musk issues woke AI warning: 'It may choose to end humanity'

Elon Musk is sending out a warning about the dangers of the "woke mind virus" on artificial intelligence saying, the biggest danger to humanity is having it programmed into AI.

Musk added that it’s tough to remove, because there is so much woke content on the internet.

For example he said, when other AIs were asked whether global thermonuclear war or misgendering was worse, they picked the latter. The problem with that, is a super powerful AI could decide that the only 100% certain way to stop misgendering is to kill all humans.

Something Musk talked about back in 2023:

MUSK: “To summarize the woke mind virus, it consists of creating very, very divisive identity politics.

It actually amplifies racism, it amplifies sexism and all the -isms, while claiming to do the opposite.

It actually divides people and makes them hate each other, and it makes people hate themselves.

It's also anti-meritocratic, it's not merit-based.

You want to have people succeed based on how hard they work and their talents, not who they are, whether they're a man, woman, what race or gender.

It's an artificial mental civil war that is created. And let me tell you, it's no fun.

Woke mind virus and fun are incompatible. There's no fun in that, no joy.

The woke mind virus is all about condemning people instead of celebrating people.

When in the work, it just doesn't celebrate.

It's all about condemning and being divisive."
