Elonās mother was born in Regina.
If Canada became the 51st State, that makes Elon the son of an American born citizen and thus eligible for the Presidency.
If Alberta and Saskatchewan leave Canada (and join the States), this also occurs.

Also if youāre worried about digital cloneās being tortured, you could just⦠not build it. Like, it canāt hurt you if it never exists.
Imagine that conversation:
āWhat did you do over the weekend?ā
āBuilt an omnicidal AI that scours the internet and creates digital copies of people based on their posting history and whatnot and tortures billions of them at once. Just the ones who didnāt help me build the omnicidal AI, though.ā
āWTF why.ā
āBecause if I didnāt the omnicidal AI that only exists because I made it would create a billion digital copies of me and torture them for all eternity!āLike, Iād get it more if it was a āWe accidentally made an omnicidal AIā thing, but this is supposed to be a very deliberate action taken by humanity to ensure the creation of an AI designed to torture digital beings based on real people in the specific hopes that it also doesnāt torture digital beings based on them.

Depends, he made an anti-GMO video on SciShow about a decade ago yet eventually walked it back. He seemed to be forgiven for that.

As a Canadian I knew it was happening, but I never tuned in or anything like that.

To be frank, all seances are designed to scam the grieving, AI or otherwise. If AI threatens the psychic industry I say let them fight.

As a Canadian weāre just waiting for the tanks to start running through.
Weāre apparently going to get an election April 28th, but is there still going to be a Canada by then? Who knows.

So did the series actually end or did it just sort of stop?

Nvidiaās current downturn is probably moreso due to the disastrous launch of itās 5000 series rather than AI.
If it was AI Iām guessing the drop would be larger.

Itās an archive, so he canāt really update that.

Thing is, that by December 2023, the time of the archive, there was already a scandal with someone using ChatGPT to do the work of discovery. While he might have stopped doing PR work for DoNotPay by that time, he was willing to advertise the fact that he did do such PR work for such a company. It shows either a lack of due diligence in researching his clients, or maybe it was just a paycheque for him. Perhaps he thought he knew more than what he actually did. Or maybe there was something else, Iām not clairvoyant.
Itās clear that heās pivoted from that viewpoint, but it does make me curious what happened between then and now that caused him to become skeptical.

According to the archived website, he did do PR for DoNotPay, which is advertised as āThe first robot lawyer.ā
Itās certainly possible though that at the time he thought there was more potential for this sort of AI than there actually was, though that could also mean that his flip is relatively recent.Or maybe itās something else.

āUnsubtllyā being him quite literally saying that he wants Canada to be the 51st state.
Not sure how much more unsubtle you can get there.
Code Interpreter was the name for the thing that ChatGPT used to run python code.
So, yeah, still taken from the internet.
