The argument in the quote is that the whole thing is a libertarian power fantasy. It’s not that Musk fears AI bc the hypothetical runaway computer will think like him. Hard to restate without reusing the word projection, but it’s more like that his concept of AI risk itself says more about him than it does about future technologies. Weird example, but it’s kind of like how in Dr. Strangelove General Ripper’s fear of a soviet plot to emasculate us via fluoride has everything to do with Ripper’s own feelings re his balls and nothing at all to do with the actual soviets.
