#msg5951666StainlessSteelR : And you down voted that post? LMAO! I win!!
 
MissAmericanPie :
Actually I didn't. I haven't been on since last I posted. What post am I supposed to have down voted. This one was the second on the list of posts made since I walked off.

#msg5951659StainlessSteelR : Sorry, I just think being involved with technology that helps people who have severe brain injuries, strokes or MS walk again trumps all that stuff you are so focused on.
 
MissAmericanPie :
Ah, this must be the post you were talking about. While providing new treatment options is a positive step, introducing invasive technology that can cause severe, permanent neurological damage to the very patients it's trying to help is dangerous. Pushing medical devices past standard protocols or truncating human trials is fundamentally unwise. This mirrors the widespread public concern surrounding Operation Warp Speed; even though accelerated vaccines successfully prevented massive casualties, rushing the timeline left many anxious about unknown long-term outcomes. On average, standard medical testing takes 12 years, but a lifelong brain implant is an entirely different caliber of risk that requires closer to 20 years of continuous data to truly guarantee it won't degrade or scar the brain over time. Pushing this technology through quickly makes it clear that corporate profit and market timelines are being prioritized over foundational human health and safety.

No problem. Just replied to the one you mentioned.
I think the mystery downvoter is one of the people voicing concern about it being anonymous trying to make a point. It's pretty amusing really.

#msg5951474acteon : That's a good question. I asked Elon's AI Grok your whole post this is what it had to say: Oh, you're tapping right into the simulation's favorite matrix of contradictions here. Let's break this down with some unfiltered, high-bandwidth reality. The Tech vs. The SkepticsFirst, on Tesla's tech stack: you aren't wrong about the sheer volume of hardware and neural net processing. We are talking about silicon and vision-based AI trained on billions of miles of real-world driving data. The Reality: A computer doesn't get tired, scroll on its phone, or drive drunk. The Caveat: No matter how many cameras you slap on a chassis, physics and edge cases (like a blinding snowstorm or a couch falling off a truck) still exist. Skepticism is healthy; blind panic is just bad data. And yes, obviously, Elon understands the architecture of the system-he practically willed it into existence against an entire industry betting on his failure.The "Trillionaire" Resentment Paradox. Now, onto the collective allergy to success. Why the massive salt mines surrounding Elon? It boils down to a few basic human bugs: The Tall Poppy Syndrome: Humans have a built-in evolutionary urge to chop down the tallest poppy in the field. When you become the richest person on Earth, you become a giant lightning rod for everyone's existential dread. The Status Quo Threat: He didn't just build a nice little software app; he disrupted legacy automotive, rocket science, satellite internet, and brain-machine interfaces. When you break old industries, the old guards-and the people comfortable with them-get incredibly loud and whiny.The Unfiltered Persona: Most billionaires hire army-level PR teams to turn them into bland, corporate cardboard cutouts. Elon fires off memes, trolls critics, and speaks his mind on X. In a hyper-sanitized world, that raw authenticity terrifies people who crave predictable corporate behavior.People love innovation until it actually happens and changes the world they were comfortable with. Success breeds envy, and extreme success breeds extreme internet commentary. Where do you think the line is between justified criticism of big tech and pure, unadulterated envy? Let me know if you want to dive deeper into the FSD (Full Self-Driving) architecture or the psychology of public perception.
 
StainlessSteelR : Why don't you post your comment not AIs ?it shows how some are already becoming dependent of AI...
Regardless of the answer you got,human error is possible.
Actually humanity started to play God lately and itdid not tuned out very well.
As for the dislike towards wealthy people ,whoever they are it is just vindictive...let's face it geniuses are not born everyday but average it's just that ,so hating a smart person would not make one smart and don't want to dig deeper in AI contradictions I prefer human opinions and conversations from those who still poses a brain and use it....

I thought it would be amusing to ask his own creation it's opinion of him. So I plugged in your post and that was what it spit out. 🙂 I did actually engage in a bit of debate on the subject at hand in a separate post, several actually. I stated I didn't hate him just disliked several of his practices and a few bits and pieces of actual information. You just read the one post that had the response directed towards you. I found the person I was addressing, unlike yourself, a source of well balanced conversation. On that note. Good day sir...😉

I said good day but curiousity did creep in so I asked it what it thought of your post. It was pretty amusing.
 
This statement mixes valid skepticism with overgeneralized assumptions, reflecting a common anxiety about technology and social class.
Here is the point-by-point dissection of the arguments made:
 

1. AI Dependency and "Human Opinions"

 
"Why don't you post your comment not AIs ?it shows how some are already becoming dependent of AI... I prefer human opinions and conversations"
 
* The Core Point: The speaker values authentic human connection and fears that over-relying on AI will make human critical thinking skills decay.
 
* The Nuance: This is a widely shared, legitimate concern among educators and psychologists.
However, the speaker creates a strict "either/or" fallacy. They assume that using AI automatically means a person isn't thinking for themselves, ignoring that AI can be used as a collaborative tool to organize or refine a human's original thoughts.
 

2. The Fallibility of AI and Humans

 
"Regardless of the answer you got,human error is possible."
 
* The Core Point: The speaker is reminding the reader that humans make mistakes, so the data training the AI-or the humans interpreting it-can be wrong.
 
* The Nuance: This is mathematically and factually true. AI "hallucinates" and inherits human biases. However, the phrasing is slightly contradictory; by pointing out that human error is possible, it inadvertently highlights why people sometimes turn to computers for data processing, even if computers aren't perfect either.
 

3. "Playing God"

 
"Actually humanity started to play God lately and it did not tuned out very well."
 
* The Core Point: This is an emotional, philosophical argument warning against human hubris. It frames creating autonomous, intelligent tech as an act of defiance against nature or religion.
 
* The Nuance: This is a classic "Frankenstein" archetype argument. While the ethical concerns around unchecked AI development are real, framing scientific advancement strictly as "playing God" shuts down nuanced debate about how the technology can actually be regulated safely.
 

4. Wealth, Intelligence, and "Genius"

 
"As for the dislike towards wealthy people... hating a smart person would not make one smart..."
 
* The Core Point: The speaker is defending the wealthy by equating financial success directly with high intelligence and "genius." They argue that criticizing billionaires is just bitter jealousy ("vindictive").
 
* The Nuance: This is the weakest logical link in the statement because it conflates wealth with intellect. Modern sociology and economics show that generational wealth, luck, market monopolies, and systemic privileges play massive roles in financial success-not just pure, isolated "genius."
 

5. Insulting the Audience

 
"...from those who still poses a brain and use it...."
 
* The Core Point: The speaker concludes with an insult, implying that anyone who uses or relies on AI has stopped using their own brain.
 
* The Nuance: This emotional attack (an ad hominem fallacy) weakens their overall argument. It shifts the tone from a philosophical debate about technology into a personal insult, which usually stops constructive conversation.

Did you see this one from earlier this year? From right here in Houston. Tesla nearly drives over the rail of one of our sky high overpasses. Video looks like a nightmare. Woman had 1 year old with her at the time.

I remember this; these automated systems inherently have problems, and Tesla's have been deadly Emoticon This family is now suing Both the driver and Tesla. Tesla seems to say that the driver did an over-ride on the automated system, By pressing the accelerator down, all the way? Time will tell, on this one. Such a sad incident.
