    I just want to point out that while Musk likes to parrot this rhetoric, it is Nick Bostrom who should be credited with the hypothesis in its current, modern incarnation. That’s not to say it is entirely his idea either, as similar hypotheses have been pontificated over for centuries , notably by René Descartes.
