...and now nine years later he's calling for caution and a pause. Well he certainly changes his tune whenever it suits him.
... Oh wait ...
But yeah I mean if he was so worried about it why didn't he use his fortune and influence to try and make sure AI was developed in a responsible way by getting together with other like minded people and launching a foundation or a non-profit or something ...

- dmarcos 4y agoAs I mentioned in another comment. I haven’t seen any public confirmation from signatories. FWIW, Sam Altman was in the list yesterday. Now removed.
- HarHarVeryFunny 4y agoRight, then despite being an OpenAI founder he proceeded to poach one of their top ML experts (Karpathy) for himself at Tesla, then shortly after proceeded to walk away from OpenAI in a hissy fit because the other founders said "no" when he wanted to be the boss and run it. Musk's personal ethics included him impregnating an OpenAI board member, who has now just left the company in last week or so. Now he wants OpenAI to pause for 6 months while he builds a "non-woke" competitor himself. Now Musk is saving humanity yet again by giving us free speech in the form of a new-and-improved Twitter where you have to pay to have your Tweets promoted. Has he called Sam Altman a pedo yet ?
