There was an interview with Elon a few months back, where he described how the robots will be able to take care of your dog, your kids, or your elderly parents.

The things normal people with healthy relationships want to be doing.

They're so incredibly out of touch.

Edit, found the interview: https://youtu.be/DPCvFy5BKeM?si=3c1yS2kSaOdlW56d&t=238

I find it really funny that Zuck bemoans people not having real friendships and is also partially responsible for people not having real friendships and that his solution is to be friends with something that isn’t real.

It all totally tracks given what he’s made his career monetizing but god is it depressing.

If:

- you (GROUP 1) are the 0.001%,

and you

- hire the 0.030% (30x more unclean than GROUP 1 on some scale),

to

- build for the 1.000% (33.3% more unclean than GROUP 2 and 1000x more unclean than GROUP 1 on some scale),

then I could see how

- "building for the 1%" would actually feel like building for the general public.

These are the use-cases of AI that I don't like that much.

You'd think the amount of awkward "how do you do, fellow humans?" moments from tech execs when they do interviews or podcasts would deter them but nope.

It shows how thoroughly they've built their echo chambers.
