Shivon Zilis is the mother of four of Musk's children. That relationship began as she advised OpenAI.

    The title doesn’t mention she accepted. 4 times. Is Nazism hereditary?

        Just give it some time, anyone with power becomes a Nazi. Just ask the Stanford Prison Experiment folks.

          The SPE is a bad, almost unscientific example for nearly anything.

          In 2007, Thomas Carnahan and Sam McFarland argued that the experiment suffers from selection bias, as the recruiting posters for SPE specifically advertised participation in a study about prison life. Carnahan and McFarland argued that those who applied to participate with the SPE thus likely already had traits associated with abusiveness, aggression, authoritarianism, Machiavellianism, social dominance orientation, and narcissism. Further, low dispositional empathy and altruism would also be indicators of someone who would volunteer.

          In 2020, Dutch historian Rutger Bregman claimed the experiment to be dubious. He states that the guards were urged to act aggressively towards the prisoners. In his book Humankind: A Hopeful History, he is of the opinion that in similar experiments, researchers intentionally created hostility between groups and then interpreted the findings to suit their needs.

            The SPE was closer to performance art than to legitimate research.

      Possibly even more pathetic than that, rumor is his dick is literally broke due to a botched penile extension surgery so it requires medical tech to do.

    “And as a bonus for this past year’s excellent work, you shall receive: a sample of my sperm”

    Is anyone else reminded of Pierce’s will from Community season 5?

    This is a very old story, but I didnt know she was also an OpenAI board member. When the story broke it was about her being a Neuralink exec.

    This isnt the only women he’s donated sperm to either.

    I wonder if at some point he ever read about how 1 in 7 (or whatever) humans are descended from Ghengis Khan.

    I know he says all kinds of wacko stuff about fertility rates and population collapse, but when have his motivations ever been even that bit more complex than wanting to imitate/join the cool/funny thing he found online? I seriously wonder…
