Citing a quoted tweet, the author highlights that Elon Musk is backing away from his humanity-first 'speciesist' stance, warming to Larry Page's view that AI should run the future: 'There've been a few times where I've thought, yeah, maybe Larry Page was right...

The reblogger @xriskology frames this within a broader claim that pro-extinctionism is ubiquitous among Silicon Valley's most powerful figures actively shaping our collective future.
