Elon Musk’s Most Ludicrous Lie
The Art of Value host JJ breaks down and responds to another of Elon Musk’s most ludicrous claims. As tech news site Futurism points out, Elon is claiming that there will be a tech utopia with billions of humanoid robots, built and sold by Tesla of course, in which we humans will no longer have to work at all, and will get paid a universal high income from governments. This idea is not new though, and stems from early 20th century futurism.Related episodes:Tesla Robotaxi Fail & Waymo Wins First Driverless NYC Permit https://youtu.be/NPISQOPsnGQElon’s Tesla Self-Driving Lies Are Catching Up To Him: Forbes https://youtu.be/4Pj8RYRz0KkAltman's AI BUBBLE WARNING vs Marks' Stock Market Bubble View https://youtu.be/NKw04UIarkkIs the Internet Dying?

Is the Internet Dying? AI Slop, Bots, End of the Human Web
The Art of Value host JJ breaks down how the internet as we know might be dying, or at least changing in a major way, with the rise of AI slop content and AI bots. From bot networks manipulating conversations, to AI generated content flooding every platform, the internet we used to know it is disappearing. Some internet users predicted this years ago, with what they called Dead Internet Theory, and so did “The Godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton. AI bots are manipulating conversations and AI generated content is already flooding various social media platforms.Referenced videosThe Internet is Dying: AI, Bots, and The End of Human Content | Vanessa Wingårdh https://youtu.be/J5ZmLvy_JfgIs the Internet Dying? | AI Slop, Dead Internet Theory, Google's Broken, Social Media, and ChatBots | Kate Cassidy https://youtu.be/3dstGVhEshURelated episodes:The Shocking Truth About ChatGPT Psychosis https://youtu.be/ThfmPLkwrI4ChatGPT: An Alarming New AI Religion bhttps://youtu.be/SmE1wX7JsA0ChatGPT Brain Rot: A Growing Epidemic https://youtu.be/Oq3YE3YdA4kDisclaimer: I am not a financial adviser and nothing in this content is financial advice.
