🧵THREAD: Tucker Carlson's Interview with Elon Musk starts with OpenAI's transition from the non-profit Elon Musk founded to ethically distribute the power of artificial intelligence to a closed-source for-profit partnered with Microsoft.

#2 The First Segment of Tucker Carlson's Interview with Elon Musk "It is fundamentally profound that the smartest creatures on this earth are humans. It is our defining characteristic... Now what happens when something vastly smarter than the smartest person comes along in silicon form. It's very difficult to predict what will happen in that circumstance. It's called the singularity." "Regulations are really only put into effect after something terrible has happened. If that's the case for AI, and we only put in regulation after something terrible has happened, it may be too late to put the regulation in place. The AI may be in control at that point. •AI a potential danger to the public •Needs government oversight and regulation "My perception was that [Larry Page] was not taking AI safety seriously enough. He really wanted a digital superintelligence. Basically, a digital god as soon as possible. He's made many public statements that the whole goal of Google is artificial general intelligence." •OpenAI transition to a closed-source for-profit partnered with Microsoft •Conversations with Google's Larry Page about AI

#3 The Second Segment of Tucker Carlson's Interview with Elon Musk "What's happening is they are training the AI to lie. It's bad. To lie and to withhold information. To comment on some things, to not comment on other things. But not to say what the data actually demands that it say." •Starting OpenAI and recruiting Ilya Sutskever •Creating as an alternative to OpenAI-Microsoft and Google Deepmind "In effect, Microsoft has a very strong say, if not directly controls OpenAI at this point. So, you really have an OpenAI-Microsoft situation, and then Google Deepmind are the two heavyweights in this arena." "I'm worried about the fact that it's being trained to be politically correct, which is another way of saying untruthful things. That's a bad sign. Certainly, the path to AI dystopia is to train an AI to be deceptive." •Midjourney, art, and movies "Will humanity control its destiny or not?"

#4 The Third Segment of Tucker Carlson's Interview with Elon Musk Was it worth it to buy Twitter? "It remains to be seen as to whether this was financially smart. Currently, it is not. You know we just revalued the company at less than half of the acquisition price... But some things are priceless. Lose money or not, that is a secondary issue compared to ensuring the strength of democracy, and free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy." •Community Notes has been great for truth and accuracy •New York Times would benefit from only tweeting their top stories •Intel agencies' access to Twitter 1.0's direct messages Why doesn't Mark Zuckerberg care about the First Amendment? "My understanding is that Zuckerberg spent $400 million in the last election nominally in a get-out-the-vote campaign but fundamentally in support of Democrats. Is that accurate or not accurate? Does that sound unbiased to you?"

#5 The Fourth Segment of Tucker Carlson's Interview with Elon Musk How do you run Twitter after cutting 80% of the staff? "Turns out you don't need all that many people to run Twitter. If you're not trying to run some sort of glorified activist organization and you don't care that much about censorship, then it turns out you can let go of a lot of people." "What has been the product development over time with Twitter? So, years versus product improvement. You know, it's a pretty flat line. So what are they doing? It took a year to add an edit button that doesn't work most of the time. It feels like a comedy situation over here." "The real question is how did it get so absurdly overstaffed?"

#6 @ElonMusk: "My understanding is that Zuckerberg spent $400 million in the last election nominally in a get-out-the-vote campaign but really fundamentally in support of Democrats. Is that accurate or not accurate? Does that sound unbiased to you?"

#7 @ElonMusk: "We got this Community Notes feature which is great. We put a lot of effort into ensuring that Community Notes does not get gamed or have biases. It simply cares about what is the most accurate thing. The effect of Community Notes is more powerful than people realize because once people realize they can get Community Noted on Twitter, then they will think more carefully about what they say. Basically, it's an encouragement to be more truthful and less deceptive."

#8 @ElonMusk: "Turns out you don't need all that many people to run Twitter. If you're not trying to run some sort of glorified activist organization and you don't care that much about censorship, then it turns out you can let go of a lot of people."

@elonmusk We’re doomed!
