The JRE host commented on the fact that the vote gained a substantial majority in favor of the murderous robots. The fact that robots are being granted permission to end a human life does not sit well with The MMA analyst.

The UFC commentator shared some wisdom imparted by Elon Musk
In an old episode of JRE, Rogan spills the knowledge he gained from Tesla co-founder, Elon Musk. “Elon Musk scared the sh*t outta me.” “He talks about it (A.I) like ‘We’re in the opening scene of a science fiction movie”.
Similar to a science fiction film, the masses avoid the advice of a genius and pursue their quest for an intelligent A.I. However, that is when everything goes wrong. The podcast host is not a stranger to advanced forms of artificial intelligence. As he previously hosted an artificial intelligence capable of impersonating the late Steve Jobs. Therefore, he alerted his followers about the repercussions of allowing robots to harm people.
