‘The difference between day and night’. Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted a satellite photo of the Korean Peninsula on X (formerly Twitter) on the 31st (local time). This photo was once summoned in the pros and cons debate surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) earlier this month, and it appears to be suitable as a metaphor for ‘the consequences that will occur when two diametrically opposed choices are made.’

The photo posted by Musk on This photo has the caption, ‘Crazy idea: Let’s split a country in half into a capitalist and communist system and see what it will look like 70 years from now.’ It appears to refer to the completely different situation between South and North Korea in about 70 years since the Korean War in 1950.

Nighttime satellite photos of the Korean Peninsula are considered representative images showing North Korea’s power shortage. 38 North, an American media specializing in North Korea, released nighttime satellite photos of the Korean Peninsula taken over nine years from 2014 to 2022 and said, “North Korea’s power shortage has not yet achieved significant improvement.”

Musk did not mention the reason for posting the satellite photos of the Korean Peninsula on X. This photo recorded over 35 million views. As a comment on this post, one The image of South Korea showed high-rise buildings, and the image of North Korea contained low-rise apartments.

Brian Krassenstein, a famous American journalist, said, “Communists will not exist (in 70 years),” and “Technology (development) will make the existence of communism itself impossible.” He said, “Capitalists will develop technology that will make communists extinct,” and “I hope that capitalism can adapt to technology so that the wealth gap does not continue to widen and that we can find an answer to how technology will affect our economy.”

‘Bep Jayzos’ is an account created by Guillaume Verdon, CEO of AI hardware startup Extropic, as a parody of the name of Amazon founder ‘Jeff Bezos’, and advocates Effective Accelerationism. The core argument of this is that ‘all advanced technologies are beneficial to the world, and all regulations and safety measures must be eliminated for the rapid development of technology.’

On the 10th, this photo was posted on the Best Friend JJos account with the caption, “On the way back from SK (South Korea).” In the photo, ‘e/acc (effective accelerationism)’ was written on the South Korean side, and ‘Decel (Decelerationism)’ was written on the North Korean side. It appears to be a metaphor that accelerating AI development will lead to a bright future like Korea, but blocking it will lead to a dark future like North Korea. Guillaume Verdon said in a Forbes interview, “I wanted to create an ideology for engineers, service developers, and heroes.”
