"I think it's blasphemy against AI if ‌you say it's a bubble," Son said at the Japanese conglomerate's annual general meeting. "It's just the beginning. AI's potential will be unlocked."

Another stupid rich Boomer who's bought into the science fiction, but who is too rich to have anyone who can tell him he's an idiot.

The entrepreneur, 68, said he will lead the company into his 70s ​to bring ⁠about "artificial superintelligence," which he defines as being 10,000 times smarter than a human.

"I have become greedier," Son said. "I would like to do more over the next 10 to 15 years. I will stay healthy as long ⁠as I ​can."

At least he's honest, unlike the American ultrawealthy who have been trying really hard to convince people they're regular humans and not skinwalkers.

It's not only boomers here who are into this. I know many in IT here in Japan, from normal workers up through C-suite folks, who fully believe in AI like this and act accordingly.
