Elon Musk invested early in DeepMind just to keep tabs on the progress of AI

Per this TechCrunch article , Elon Musk... was in on the AI train early with an investment in DeepMind, which was later acquired by Google. Musk wasn’t in DeepMind for a return, as is the case with most investments; he wanted access to greater insight regarding DeepMind’s progress, and the progress of AI in general... The enterprising CEO wanted to be able to see how fast AI was improving, and what he found was a rate of gains that he hadn’t expected, and that he though most people would not possibly expect.

As covered in my last course on Bostromian Philosophy, Musk has shared that his understanding of AI and its status as an existential threat is heavily influenced by Nick Bostrom's "Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies"

They changed the face of commerce since their widespread adoption in the 1980s (there's a good podcast about that that we can listen to sometime if we have extra time) Spreadsheets count as a programming language, and are the most widely-used one. The vast majority (>90%) of companies use spreadsheets. And finally: They do all the work for you! Can you imagine how much you have to add, subtract, multiply, divide, calculate means, etc when you are running a business? You pay for things, you sell things, but the price of things change.
