Developing a self-learning AI machine is a very stupid idea.

It is a bad idea. And it's been said before, humans will not go extinct through nature or any other natural "acts of god" but rather by their own hands.

When I think about what Elon said, it makes me think about the BORG in Star Trek. Imagine these kids all excited about augmentation and brain implants, and then, somehow, the AI takes over their bodies.

Machine learning in its current state has results very much in the control of the programmer. You tell it to optimize a certain task, there is no function that would make it do otherwise.
