马斯克在聊到超级智能到底会不会统治人类时，用短短 42 秒，彻底推翻了所有人看了几十年的科幻电影设定，
他说：我们根本不配被统治。
很多人对超级智能的终极恐惧，是终结者、黑客帝国，或者被一个冷酷的机器独裁者关进赛博牢笼里发号施令。
但马斯克点破了一个极度刺骨、但也极度通透的现实：
在任何一个智慧悬殊的系统里，统治本身就是一种毫无价值的高能耗浪费。
面对一个比人类聪明几千倍、甚至几百万倍的超级智能，我们妄想去控制它、给它立规矩，无异于痴人说梦。
但它反过来也不会对统治人类产生哪怕一秒钟的兴趣。
他拿人类和黑猩猩打了个极度清醒的比方：
人类比黑猩猩聪明得多，但我们今天会专门制定一套复杂的法律，去丛林里事无巨细地管理每一只黑猩猩吗？
不会。
我们基本是随它们去，在边上划一道保护区，只要它们不妨碍现代文明的扩张，人类甚至连看都懒得看它们一眼。
统治的前提，是双方还在同一个能力维度上，需要靠权力来分配稀缺资源。
当智力差距被拉大到百万倍的断层时，人类社会的金钱、领土、政治和意识形态，在超级智能眼里连微尘都算不上。
它有它自己要去探索的星辰大海和底层物理，根本不屑于在泥潭里当猴王。
人类未来真正的风险，从来不是被恶意统治，而是被系统性无视。
就像人类修高速公路穿过森林时，铲平一个蚁穴从来不是出于仇恨，只是因为那条路刚好要从那里经过。
所以，我们需要放下做宇宙主角的虚荣心，未来的超级智能既不会恨你，也不会爱管你，如何证明自己不是那条高速公路下的蚁穴，才是人类唯一要思考的课题。
马斯克第一次公开正面回应了跟@OpenAI 诉讼案的核心实质以及跟@sama Altman的爱恨情仇，
在福布斯最新访谈里Elon聊到 OpenAI 诉讼案时，没有纠结个人恩怨，而是把整个硅谷最不敢摊开讲的一张底牌直接掀开了，
老马说：OpenAI 从非营利强行转为全面营利，正在开创一个极其危险的先例。
很多人看这场官司，以为只是创始人之间的利益撕扯，或者是马斯克因为错过千亿估值而产生的酸葡萄心理。
但马斯克在 2 分多钟里点破的核心，其实是一场动摇整个现代商业慈善根基的特洛伊木马：
如果一家由全免税、免监管的慈善捐赠催化出来、今天估值逼近 8000 亿美元的超级巨头，可以把公益外衣随手脱掉直接装进私人腰包，那么全美甚至全球现有的慈善捐赠契约，就全部从根子上死掉了。
当年 OpenAI 成立时拉着所有人入局的承诺，是一份极度崇高的使命书：
我们是非营利组织，我们为了全人类的利益研发 AGI，防止超级技术被谷歌等商业寡头私有化。
马斯克和其他捐赠人真金白银掏了几千万美元的无偿捐赠，图的不是股权分红，而是公共利益的底线。
后来为了融资买算力，Sam Altman 搞出了一个上限利润的折中结构。
当时各方妥协的关键条款写得清清楚楚：营利实体只负责赚钱还债，一旦真正的通用人工智能（AGI）实现，所有的股权和控制权必须毫无保留地退还给非营利慈善机构。
而最近所有人看到的事实是：
这个曾经用来安抚监管、安抚捐赠人的归还条款，被他们悄无声息地单方面删掉了。
以前慈善信托和免税基金之所以能存在上百年，是因为社会达成了共识：你用免税换取公益，你的成果就永远属于公众。
现在 OpenAI 示范了一条全新的暴富流水线：
先用拯救人类的非营利口号吃尽免税红利、吸纳顶级科学家的奉献和社会的无偿捐款，
等技术突破、商业壁垒铸成之后，反手修改章程，把原本属于公共财产的无价资产，合规洗成几个管理层和华尔街资本瓜分的私产。
如果这一单最终能全身而退，以后世界上就再也没有真正意义上的慈善投资了。
所有的科技巨头都会学着用非营利的幌子孵化核心资产，把研发风险留给纳税人和捐助者，把终局红利留给私人股东，
所以，这早就不是马斯克和 Sam Altman 两个人的战争了，
更像是一场关于公众信任、契约精神与硅谷资本贪婪底线的终极对决。
Final proof Labor supporters are dumb.
Smarter people tend to be more supportive of freedom of speech.
A big part of this is intellectual humility: Higher IQ is associated with greater intellectual humility, which in turn is associated with greater support for freedom of speech.

How much more grubby can Australian politics get?
Australians have every right to question who gets taxpayer money.
But when Helen Haines questioned Albanese’s community sports grants, his office circulated a dirt sheet attacking her integrity. It’s despicable.
And the Liberals play the same grubby game.
In August, The Australian newspaper identified two “dirt unit” researchers working in Angus Taylor’s office.
And a Labor strategist was recently quoted about having dirt sheets on One Nation, saying: “We’ve got a lot on One Nation … But unlike the Liberals we’re holding it back.”
A Labor MP was reported last month saying: “Throwing shit at them risks making them more popular.”
Read that again. This is how they talk about attacking their opponents behind closed doors.
They can’t defend their records. They can’t sell their policies. So they feed dirt to the media and trash reputations.
The major parties have taken turns running our country into the ground. Australians are struggling to pay their bills while the major parties use taxpayer-funded staff to shovel dirt.
Australians deserve politicians focused on their lives, their families and their futures.
Instead, they get an incompetent, dishonest government and an opposition playing the same dirty games.
Our country deserves better.

So a significant, well established polling company admits they fabricated data showing Democrats leading after being caught out and *crickets*.
If you don’t believe this happens in Australia too, yer dreamin’.

To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad:
Do not blame the French people for this.
We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no.
Here are the numbers your media won't show you.
70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today.
79% want a tougher immigration policy.
77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration.
83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home.
And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years.
This is not a fringe. This is the French people.
In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again.
That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway.
So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations.
In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: "We penetrate the cabinets." He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders.
It's the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed.
What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it.
The peoples of Europe don't want this. They never did.
So when you see our town halls burning, don't say "the French chose this."
The French never chose this.
They were forced into it.
If you're French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us.
If you're American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd.

This is my daughter Danaka. She was encouraged to pretend that she was a boy, in middle school, unbeknownst to me. I made the decision to flee the state to avoid the danger of losing my baby girl.
It took me and my family years to bring her fully back to reality. I sacrificed everything to save her. No family should have to go through that. No child should have their mind invaded by lies.
Today Danaka is thriving. She’s in college now. She’s had a lot of challenges along the way. She handled them all strength and grace. She learned how to manage her emotions and channel her frustration through Affirming Reality.
She’s focused.
She’s ferocious.
She’s free.
I almost lost her. Many other people have lost their children. We can’t lose sight of what we’re up against in this country.
I rescued my child. Lots of other people have rescued their children with my help. My hope is that everyone will do everything they possibly can to rescue the rest of them.

BREAKING: Volkswagen announces a European rival to Tesla’s “flying” Roadster
Some insane confirmed features:
1. Top speed limited to 110 km/h
2. Automatically reports speeding to authorities
3. Automatically turns off the AC if outside temperature is below 35°C
4. Car will not start when public transport option exists on your route
5. Built-in system reminds you how much CO₂ your trip produced
Launch expected after EU regulatory approval in 2068
It is truly completely over for Tesla
