Elon Musk (Tesla head) says A.I. is a bigger threat than North Korea. What if he is right?

Fun! Ames is the bipedal-walking-robots guy, so I guess being able to walk the PCT would be a good test

I'll schedule a meetup with the motorcycle group to ride the PCT and check this out....or should I get a whole bunch of dirt bikers?

Underwhelmed until it runs the AC100.

Looks cool, but I hope they realize that motorized and mechanical equipment are not allowed on the PCT. And drones are not allowed in national parks and wilderness areas.

That was my original unspoken sarcastic point. ? But I wonder if some weird permit could get around that.

Ah. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they receive a special use permit for research. But the PCT runs through many different jurisdictions. So they might need multiple permits in each state.
