Elon Musk: "DELETE Your Social Media NOW!" - Here's Why
Watch this video to know why Elon Musk said like this...Speech in the video above:
but one of the issues with social media it's been pointed out by many people is that i think maybe particularly instagram um people look like they have a much better life than they really do right so by design yeah people are posting pictures of when they're really happy they're modifying those pictures to be better looking um even if they're not modifying the pictures they're at least selecting the pictures for the best lighting the best angle um so people basically seem uh they're way better looking than they basically really are right um and they're way happier seeming than they really are so if you look at everyone on instagram you might think man they're all these happy beautiful people and i'm not that good looking and i'm not happy so i'ma suck you know and that's gonna make feel sad so when in fact those people you think are super happy actually not that happy some of them are really depressed they're very sad some of the happiest seeming people actually some of the saddest people in reality um and and and nobody looks good all the time doesn't matter who you are uh so i think i think things like that can make people quite sad just by comparison because you sort of you people people generally think of themselves relative to to others it's it's a we are constantly re-re-baselining our expectations and you can see this say if you watch some show like naked and afraid or you know if you just go and try living in the woods by yourself for a while and you're like the learned civilization is quite great it has a lot it's a lot of it's people want to come back civilization pretty fast on naked and afraid i i'm not normally an advocate of regulation and oversight i mean i think once you generally you're on the side of minimizing those things but this is a case where you have a very serious danger to the public and therefore there needs to be a public body that has insight and then oversight on to confirm that everyone is developing ai safely like this is extremely important i think danger of ai is much greater than the the danger of nuclear warheads by unlocked and nobody would suggest that we allow anyone to just build nuclear warheads if they want that would be insane and mark my words ai is far more dangerous than nukes far so why do we have no regulatory oversight this is insane i'm not really all that worried about the short-term stuff the things that are um like narrow ai is not a species level risk it will result in dislocation uh in lost jobs and you know that sort of better weaponry and that kind of thing but it is not a fundamental species level risk uh whereas uh digital super intelligence is so it's really all about laying the groundwork to make sure that if if humanity collectively decides that creating digital super intelligence is the right move then we should do so very very carefully very very carefully this is the most important thing that we could possibly do...
