Elon Musk says today\'s technology would have meant being burned at the stake 300 years ago, 2012 speech revisited
Elon Musk’s technology philosophy, outlined in a 2012 commencement speech at the California Institute of Technology, is drawing fresh attention. Musk compared advanced technology to magic and cited Arthur C. Clarke’s line that sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. He said modern everyday technology would have led to being burned at the stake 300 years ago. The renewed focus follows Musk’s recent projects including Neuralink’s brain-computer interface work and broader expansion into AI and robotics.
