Billionaire Elon Musk's horror theory about super AI

This personality billionaire thinks that humans will create a kind of AI

This personality billionaire thinks that humans will create a "superhuman" AI after the brain is infected with a parasite from cats.

After strange posts on Twitter, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX continues to attract attention with a theory that is both fascinating and terrifying: a parasite in the brain will spur humanity to create advanced AI.

On July 3, the Twitter account of the National Geographic science channel quoted a story about toxoplasmosis , a common parasite in cats, after infecting hyenas, causing them to recklessly compete with lions for prey.

"Toxoplasmosis infects mice, then cats, then cat video makers ," Musk replied to the article by unexpected logical deduction.

"AI will be trained in superhuman intelligence through cat videos on the Internet, so toxoplasmosis becomes the determining factor of our destiny , " Tesla CEO said.

Toxoplasmosis is a protozoan that commonly infects mice. Scientists found that it affects the brains of rodents, causing them to lose their fear of predators.

These "brave" mice will approach the cat, get eaten, and transmit the parasite to the cat, which then infects humans.

But does toxoplasmosis affect humans? Studies show that people who test positive for toxoplasmosis are more likely to engage in risky behaviors than usual.

A study of nearly 600 people in the Czech Republic and 370 in Turkey found that patients who tested positive for toxoplasmosis were generally more at risk for accidents.

However, Futurism argues that it is highly unlikely that a parasite in the brain caused humans to create superhuman AI. Not everyone has a cat. Nor is there any evidence that toxoplasmosis makes us want to create cutting-edge computer science projects.

'But it could lead us to do more risky behaviors like investing billions of dollars in an electric car company, colonizing Mars, or trying to control the entire crypto market by sending tweet meme" , Futurism humorously commented on Elon Musk.
