Seriously, you can't make this shit up.

Any serious TNG fan will know that "The Arsenal of Freedom" is a S1 episode where weapons developers made an AI combat platform so effective that it killed all of its creators.

If Elon wants to make his Arsenal of Freedom then...

Fucking idiots! Amazing.

EDIT: I was so blown away that I shared this before reading the whole Ars article. Yup. Ars got it too. They asked Space X and the government to comment. You can't imagine the results.

The silence is the "Did we just footgun?" "Yes, Bob, I believe we did."

@elight That's wild. Literally the Torment Nexus meme come to life. Fuck's sake.

@semanticist And this is from the richest man in the world. What a complete fucking (to borrow a word) knob.

It's amazing how stupid you can be and be that wealthy. Dunning-Krueger yet "successful" (and an utterly vile excuse for a human) despite it.

@elight It's completely on-brand for him, though. Remember the incident of him hiring a gaming pro to level up his character, and then he was gloriously incompetent at a game he'd clearly never played? Sad man who wants to be a cool nerd but lacks the skills or patience. He's a classic examples of failing up.

@semanticist Diablo III, I think. Seriously. Born into money.
