TIL about Specist

Specism is the act of placing higher moral or ethical value on one species over others.

Musk then said that Page referred to him as a "specist" for prioritizing human consciousness over machine consciousness. Musk acknowledged the label, admitting that he indeed considered himself a "specist", firmly advocating for the preservation and advancement of human experiences.

He further added, " So and then the final straw was Larry calling me a specist for being pro-human consciousness instead of machine consciousness. I’m like, Well, yes, I guess I am I, I am a specist."

In my opinion, Musk's stance as a "specist" is absolutely correct. Human consciousness is irreplaceable and holds paramount importance. Machines, no matter how advanced, can never replicate the depth of human experiences. Prioritizing human consciousness over machine consciousness is not just ethical but necessary for our survival. This is a classic case of man versus machine, and I firmly stand with man.
