He said he believes most people "drastically underestimate the speed of change that we are not only already experiencing, but are about to experience."
"If you listen to the creators of this technology in Silicon Valley at the moment, that's essentially what they're telling us: that there is an alien intelligence ... and it's coming, and it's going to be infinitely available, scalable — and at some point, if Elon [Musk] gets the technology nailed down correctly, it's going to be embodied, as well," he said.
