Everyone Is Freaking Out Because Elon Musk Said Humans Must Merge With Machines Or Become Irrelevant

(Source) Billionaire Elon Musk is known for his futuristic ideas and his latest suggestion might just save us from being irrelevant as artificial intelligence (AI) grows more prominent.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO said on Monday that humans need to merge with machines to become a sort of cyborg.

“Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence,” Musk told an audience at the World Government Summit in Dubai, where he also launched Tesla in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

“It’s mostly about the bandwidth, the speed of the connection between your brain and the digital version of yourself, particularly output.”

Musk explained what he meant by saying that computers can communicate at “a trillion bits per second”, while humans, whose main communication method is typing with their fingers via a mobile device, can do about 10 bits per second.

I’ll be honest with you guys, I’ve only read the headline of this article not the article itself. I assume Elon Musk is basically saying we’ll have to start having sex with robots sooner rather than later if the human race wants to survive, which is the least surprising news of all time. Hey Elon, tell me something I don’t know. Everyone who has ever watched a robot movie knows that eventually we’re going to fight to the death with robots. It’s our fate. The cute viral video of those Alexa machines going rogue in some suburban kitchen are cute for the sheep, for the rest of us we realize this is how it all starts. First the Roomba stops listening to you, next we’re all slaves to a robot master race getting skull fucked by a metal penis, it happens that fast. Scary shit right? Right.

But here’s where I’m going to stand up for us, for the resiliency of human beings. If Tommy Technology can handle virtual reality without pooping his pants, we’ll be ok.

If Bret Bielema can pop on the 3D goggles without suffocating his wife in another dimension, we’ll be just fine.

If Glenny Balls can get his dick sucked by a robot and still come back to earth, we’re ok.

If Steven Seagal can be a half man half robot without blowing up the entire earth, we’ll be fine.

So everyone just relax, Elon Musk is trying to scare us into thinking the robots are about to take over, we’re fine.*

*We’re so fucking screwed
