Elon Musk’s Tech Utopia?

An X post by ‘Teslaconomics’….

Elon believes Optimus will end poverty.

“Imagine a world where everyone has access to the best surgeons, literally everyone. And Optimus will have the level of precision that is frankly superhuman. And will be able to do medical procedures, very sophisticated medical procedures, any medial procedures, perhaps things that really humans can’t even do bc it’s too difficult. And that will be available to anyone. People often talk about eliminating poverty and providing great medical care, but they don’t actually have a solution. And money doesn’t solve it bc there’s only so many, very limited number of great doctors and surgeons. They don’t grow on trees. But now they’ll get built in factories.”

My commentary

I Remember not too long ago Elon declared that The greatest existential threat to humanity was AI?
Then proceeds to build AI.
Now he speaks of a Socialist Utopia.
IMO that is the least likely outcome.
His original dark prediction is far more plausible.
It seems inevitable that we are to be the architects of our own destruction.
The inescapable Human condition.
We cannot save ourselves.
