Oh look, Musk's bringing up "The Singularity" as a reason he's destroying everything for fun.
"The Singularity" is like Harry Potter. It's a fantasy nerds read about when they're young, and it turns out it's A) imaginary and B) toxic as fuck.
Every time someone talks about general intelligence making humanity obsolete, it's 100% exactly the same as if they claimed Hogwarts was accepting new students.
