“Did @elonmusk think they’re going to revive Von Neumann and have him head AI regulation?” Amjad Masad, CEO of software startup Replit, tweeted at the Twitter CEO on Sunday, with a screenshot of the headline and a previous tweet reacting to it that said, “Really?”
“You get what you ask for, good and hard,” Masad added.
“Von Neumann … would obviously be a bridge too far,” Musk replied. “But maybe someone who can fix their own WiFi router wouldn’t be too much to ask.”
