  1. how comes it is always the Americans who are expert on negative portrayal of the Great China

  2. Elon says a lot of great things. Genius things, funny things, and some stupid things. He’s human. One thing I’d like people to address regarding the woke mind virus. Being woke, use to be a good thing. It was a term coined in the highly educated Black community and it described someone that was in the know of black social issues. Then, just like Beatles, it was hijacked by white super left liberals, extended to include a lot of counter productive messages. At least the Beatles sounded great. As far as his comments regarding Walt Disney, he of all people should know, that Walt was literal OSS (early CIA) propaganda machine. This is well verified. Walt Disney would be so proud to see how extensive their ideological conditioning machine has grown. Disney has some great qualities in the past and now. But to say Walt would be turning in his grave and that somehow Disney wasn’t doing exactly same thing in the 50’ and on just sounds naive or ignorant. But I don’t think he is ignorant. I think Musk perhaps just enjoyed the misogynist often racist and grooming qualities of the past vs the new ideology. He should be more truthful with this to remain trustful. I love the fact he said how many environmentalist are anti humanity. Again, this is literally just white far leftist. Melanated peoples by large majority do not believe dogs are better than humans. And don’t think humans should die when they eat a cow. And don’t think humans are parasites. This is northern lack of sun depressed type thoughts and culture that has been permeating through white Nordic beatnik type people for ages. So he should be more clear on who is perpetuating this. I also don’t hear musk speak anything about all the slavery and human trafficking happening today. It’s odd how much he speaks about rockets and mars and humanity but I don’t see him lift a finger to address these things. He also never mentioned anything of the truths and lasting legacy of colonialism on Africa. He’s completely silent on Leapold like situations that are currently happening. And his source mines that are devastating indigenous people around the globe. If he starts talking about these things more and helping solve those issues, I’d maybe believe he wasn’t a white supremacist. He’s my favorite white supremacist though.

  3. Severely over stating China's capabilities. Almost to the point this feels like fear mongering.

  4. A.I. is not stealing anyone's information, if an individual feels the need post a picture of everything they eat, everything their child does and everywhere they go for a few "likes" and "comments" from complete strangers, then we are just giving it away for free.

  5. WOW a self driving car. it is so neat. it is so cool. i also want a self driving car. i will sell my soul and train your ai for 1 dollar per day for the hope that some day i too can be cool and have a self driving car. good bye.

  6. That's exactly how I played Atari 2600 "Breakout" lol. My friend three houses away ,born on the same day an hour after me, had the "Intelevision", which was better! lol Intelivision had this skiing game that was truly awesome. We liked all of the "Strat O'Matic" board games Baseball,etc His mother was my 2nd mother. Hello Jon and Amy. 😀

  7. somewhere at pbs theres a guy who didnt expect this to get 22 million views, and is rolling in thank you notes… thats what they get paid in at pbs, right?

  8. Truckers deserve better. They are the backbone of our economy, and frankly our society. They get goods and supplies where they have to go through it all. They worked through COVID, they work through hellish weather, etc. No trucker should be struggling to support their families.

  9. AI driving will lead to expensive legal battles against human drivers because it's much more affordable for an autonomous driving company to spend millions in a legal battle than to be proven faulty.

  10. So how will this more efficient AI in automation create more wealth? Where will this wealth come from when 45 % of the work force is either out of work or earning a fraction of what it used to earn?

  11. 2023 Dec 16 space inventalations inporments on humans Behavior?! 15 was slow on time 12! So days on energy types is of 11:z. 116117 is helows mail& female balance of select also! So 17 is tomorrow! Goddesses energy on rank of alignments on 24 hours air rays snow days! Freshing cold! Koolor is the ❄️????????????✨ with your drinks? LoL bar cold right? LoL????⚖️????⌚ Lady's nites?

  12. It's funny watching this now. 21:20 yes, turns out we were right, a durable single party authoritarian state can't exist.
    Democracies do best, not because we make the best choices but because we can't make the worst choices. Democratic systems produce results based on regression toward the mean. So while bad policies may occur, they won't ever be bad enough to threaten the whole system.

    Authoritarian countries? It is only a matter of time before the leader makes a really bad call. The one child policy or the Great Chinese Famine being two such examples by the current regime

  13. im worried that if we keep growing ai the world of the terminator may happen in real life i mean think about it it could happen in real life if the machines learn so fast and are in charge of war machines -L
