To Focus on Paul Ryan or People with Talent Such as Elon Musk

Washington is destroying creativity in America faster than a kid with a can of spray paint at the Louvre but some few Americans still try to keep it alive and Elon Musk is one of the most impressive.  Elon Musk likely does more before breakfast than Paul Ryan has done, well, in his whole life.

Elon Musk is starting to go full-out strange and this is when he gets coolest since this time he wants to implant some biochips to give us some defense against Artificial Intelligence which he regards as a threat to us all.

Ed:  biochips are so much better?

Hey, give me any shit about this and I'll start talking about Paul Ryan.  People will get fed-up and will be watching B&W reruns of Perry Mason on the TV in fifteen minutes or less.


The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, is backing a new company that seeks to explore the possibility of merging the human brain with artificial intelligence (AI) to help humans keep up with machines.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Musk has played an active role in launching the new a company called Neuralink, which seeks to create devices that can be implanted in the human brain.

The neuroscience startup is still in its infancy but aims to create cranial computers for treating diseases and, eventually, help humans merge with software, enabling mortals to keep pace with advancements in artificial intelligence.

Musk is on record as saying that AI poses a great threat to humanity.

Watson:  he's sure headed for the Groove Tube now, isn't he!

I won't tell you again, Watson.  We have the choice of interesting people or Paul Ryan.

(Silence)


Elon Musk is getting tangled in the terminology this time since what do we call digital assistance for human intelligence.

Watson:  Artificial Intelligence?

Right you are and you win today's grand prize of a free Tesla automobile, Watson.


Research in this area is welcomed for at least the reason it's not DARPA doing it although DARPA is already in this arena for military purposes.  Maybe you have seen one of the "Terminator" movies and DARPA is trying to turn you into one or at least your kid.  Relax.  It won't hurt a bit.

Elon Musk is clear and cool about his vision for Mars but he's getting properly strange with these biochips.  Right now, the dead last thing the Silas ever wants in his head is constant input from the Internet via implanted WiFi or some such since my mind I'm sure does much better without Twitter hashtag games or why didn't you Like my cat picture.

The Internet is like Jehovah's Witnesses who won't get all bent-up and hurt when you slam the door on them and walk away.  However, if those biochips are implanted in your head, you won't be able to walk away.  Artificial Intelligence is much more than the Internet but access to the net is sometimes considered one of the components and that alone is a good reason not to do it but there is actual benefit as well.


Elon Musk's vision has never shown any tinge of negativity and he has contributed tremendously to bring those visions to life.  He knows he has better ideas and he's willing to throw everything he's got to make them real.  We're not exactly enamored here at the Rockhouse of implanted biochips but Elon Musk is more trusted for developing them than any other scientific resource on the planet at this time.

Elon Musk is definitely offering us an interesting ride.

Watson:  what about Paul Ryan?

He's had eight years and never delivered anything.  Send that slacker to the Greenland weather station and leave him there.
