The transcript is definitely worth reading. I think that's what has happened with this topic in general and Elon in particular. In the talks I've seen him give, he seems less concerned with AI being "out of control" and more with it being a very powerful lever under the control of a small number of people. That's what he's given as the rationale for OpenAI, and if you look at the research on their website, it's all real research, not bloviating about killer robots. But of course the media just wants to talk about killer robots.
