I don't think Elon has any malice towards his own species. I tend to agree with the first comment on the article, re: p(dystopia), where almost all LLM services are currently in play, mostly due to the actions of third party clients.

Why not? I think a lot of people with traits like Musk would make us completely subservient without any freedom if he had the technology and opportunity to do so.

The article is talking about actual, literal, species-level extinction. Like, no humans left. That's the sort of "malice towards the species" meant here.

> a lot of people with traits like Musk would make us completely subservient without any freedom

That would be the "dystopia" the person you replied to mentioned.

Total death-cult misanthropy is a surprisingly common feature of repeat divorcees of any sex. Broken hearts, the really broken hearts, do that.

Unfortunately, recovering from that state and returning to normality (and gaining/regaining the ability to face oneself seriously and make amends when necessary) usually requires having multiple supportive friends. Elon hasn't been in a position to get for years.

Given he's engaged in mass murder that's severely destabilizing a significant chunk of the planet (through his unconstitutional culling of USAID among other things), it doesn't seem unreasonable to attribute his behavior to malice.

Lolwhat?

He’s literally called for jailing and worse of people with progressive ideas. Either he’s a junky who is so high he doesn’t know what he’s saying, or he’s an evil piece of white shit. (I consider “edgelord doing it for the lulz” to be the second category.)

Hey now, don't shoot so low. It's entirely possible for him to be both! :)
