The Intercept | Musk Warns of Killer AI — While He and the Rest of Silicon Valley Cash In on AI That Kills by Sam Biddle AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, in which he warned that the company’s for‑profit shift could produce a “Terminator” outcome, highlights a paradox: while tech leaders publicly decry the existential threat of autonomous AI, they are simultaneously profiting from—and enabling—AI systems that already kill. Musk claims OpenAI betrayed its original nonprofit safety mission, yet firms such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, and Musk’s own xAI are selling large‑language‑model services to the Pentagon and other militaries, providing tools that can suggest targets, generate precise coordinates, and streamline lethal operations. Examples cited include Anthropic’s Claude model being used to prioritize Iranian targets and Google’s new classified‑work contract allowing its AI to support air‑strike targeting and other warfare functions, despite earlier internal opposition to military use. The article argues that this “tech‑military ecosystem” makes AI‑enabled killing a present reality, contradicting the industry’s stated fears of a distant, sci‑fi apocalypse.

Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people. Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess. Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk. https://hexmhell.writeas.com/galileos-basilisk #NoAI #Singularity #longtermism #Yudkowsky #Zizians

#ElonMusk Set to Take Stand Soon in Blockbuster #OpenAI Trial A lawyer for #Musk framed the consequential showdown with OpenAI as a moral issue [cuz Musk is so freaking “moral”]. A company lawyer said the case stemmed from Musk not getting his way. #law #egotistical #billionaires #tech #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #regulation #accountability #oversight https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04/28/technology/openai-sam-altman-elon-musk-trial?smid=nytcore-ios-share

#Musk, #SamAltman & other #AI “researchers” founded #OpenAI as a “nonprofit” in 2015, vowing to freely share its #technology with the rest of the world. But Musk left the start-up in 2018 after a power struggle with Altman — & before the public launch of #ChatGPT in 2022 catapulted OpenAI to commercial success. #law #egotistical #billionaires #tech #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #regulation #accountability #oversight

#Musk sued #OpenAI in 2024, claiming that the nonprofit he funded with his own large donations took advantage of his financial resources. He also argued OpenAI breached its founding agreement by putting commercial interests over the public interest. [again, Musk has never been concerned about “public interest”] #law #egotistical #billionaires #tech #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #regulation #accountability #oversight

[Article edits should not only be obvious, but ought to have been enacted by the “editor”] #ElonMusk's near-daily online #racist posts … [are…well…, super fucking racist] #Musk, the world’s richest person, is on the cusp of a record-setting IPO that could soon make him a [muther trucking] #trillionaire. But in recent months he’s been increasingly vocal about something else: rallying #White people to stand up for their #race. #Bezos #FourthEstate #WhiteSupremacy https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/04/24/musk-online-posts-race-whiteness/

#Tesla’s #Elon #Musk admits that #FSD does not seem possible with the older HW3 hardware and will require camera and computer updates. I’ve been saying this for years and, if I’m honest, I don’t think HW4 can do it either. Not in the sense of full autonomy (which is how FSD was always sold as a vision). https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/22/elon-musk-admits-millions-of-tesla-owners-need-upgrades-for-true-full-self-driving/

@maikel@vmst.io @ErikJonker@mastodon.social nodds in agreement And that's why #facists like #Musk are a waste of time at best and should never ever be #platformed or given any kind of #traffic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZzwO2B9b64 via #ThoughtSlime

Hallo Brandenburger und andere, die in ihren Ländern mit Tech-Milliardären Geld verdienen wollen. Dabei kann auch passieren, was in Memphis passiert. Elon Musk zahlt nicht für das Wasser, das er verbraucht und hält die Verträge nicht ein. Weil Mask mit Methangas befeuerte Turbinen einsetzt, steigt in der Gegend offenbar auch die Zahl der Menschen, die über Asthma klagen. #musk #ki #wasser https://oligarchwatch.substack.com/p/musk-leaves-memphis-high-and-dry?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=17k4bb&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

#Musk's X:🚨"When a social media removes the authenticity seal from official accounts during a conflict, something like this is to be expected, & it only increases #disinformation." -P Marins ":X🚨is removing the accounts of Iranian officials & promoting satirical accts instead in order to strengthen Trump's ability to engage in disinformation & manipulate the markets by fabricating #lies about the negotiations so he can better control energy prices." #Propaganda & co #IranWar #Oil #Trump #USPol

@dragonfrog@mastodon.sdf.org for better or worse, it ain't #nobility nor #billionaires being minced. I mean, do you know how much #drugs those have in them?If #Musk was livestock, the veterinary inspector would not just condemn his corpse like a wild boar from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, but mandate incineration!Compared to that, Racing Horses that got doped to the maximum permissible for their sports are safe, and even those ain't permissible for consumption. #Sarcasm #Shitpost #Commentary

Prediction. A decade from now, low-Earth orbit will be inaccessible after Starlink (now bankrupt) precipitates a massive #Kessler catastrophe. Years/generations will pass before new launches to #space are possible. No #Moon missions; no #Mars missions. #Musk's name is cursed (even more...).

It's funny how those ultra-long-term decisions always seem to benefit the Tech Bro oligarchs & billionaires and their increasing wealth today as well, allegedly, as the intended beneficiaries - the notional humungous swarms of human beings who will have colonised the Cosmos in the far future, but never we, the ordinary people, who are alive around us today. #USpol #UKpol #Trump #GOP #MAGA #Thiel #Musk #Palantir #SpaceX #TwitteX #EffectiveAltruism #EA https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/philip-ball-the-dangerous-myth-of-neutral-technology/?utm_campaign=968afe29-39e7-45b6-a2e0-e403e0d51196&utm_source=1234589

A review of the filum 'Orwell: 2+2=5' (about the genesis of Orwell's novel '1984') that I viewed at The Little Theatre, Bath last week. I highly recommend seeing the documentary about Eric Arthur Blair's last book - it's more than ever apposite as a warning, as Tech Bro Billionaires finally have the technical means by which to subjugate we Proles... #Trump #Farage #USPol #UKpol #Oceania #INGSOC #Thiel #Palantir #Musk #TwtteX https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/john-bleasdale-george-orwell-wasnt-a-prophet-he-was-a-warning/?utm_campaign=968afe29-39e7-45b6-a2e0-e403e0d51196&utm_source=1234590

The secretive network offers a glimpse into just how central one of the world’s richest men, who has a net worth of more than $650 billion, has made #Texas to his operations & ambitions. More than 50 of his at least 90 companies there are subsidiaries or other entities affiliated with his #business #empire, such as the rocket company #SpaceX & the electric vehicle maker #Tesla, as well as his nonprofit #Musk Foundation. #law #fraud #elite #impunity #money #power

NYT identified at least 37 “companies” that appeared to be largely for Musk’s #personal use. Among them was one that owns 2 multimillion-dollar condos totaling >7k square feet in the Austin Proper Hotel, with sweeping views of downtown. Other companies managed planes that #Musk uses for #private travel & a portfolio of >1k acres of land, which when combined is bigger than Central Park in NY. The lines between Musk’s #business & personal interests are blurry, & some…likely served both purposes.
