> that isn’t even close to current reality. My understanding of the discussion around risks is that it is the future potential of the technology that is worrying people, together with what currently seems like irresistible pressure to enhance its capabilities. An adjacent worry is that the technology might become rapidly self-enhancing beyond some point in the future. Musk isn't someone I take seriously in this domain - but there are some very thoughtful and smart people trying to draw attention to these issues. I think that dismissing them all as "man boys" is uncharitable and, honestly, shallow.
