The organizers of a high-profile open letter last March calling for a “pause” in work on advanced artificial intelligence lost that battle, but they could be winning a longer-term fight to persuade the world to slow AI down.

The only reason Musk signed that letter was because he missed the boat on AI, not for any altruistic reasons
One reason the letter exists in the first place is because the current leaders in AI would love to pull the ladder up behind them. That’s why they have fostered much of the doom mongering around the technology, which has lead to so many asking for a pause. A pause during which they can solidify their own positions and cut off competition by skewing AI regulation in their favour.
Some of the signatories of the letter are already openly calling for open source AI to be outright banned, because apparently only corporations like OpenAI can be trusted with it.
Came here to say, he’s only concerned because he wasn’t top dog. If Tesla AI was outperforming GPT, he and his fanboys would call it communist to try and stop AI from being developed.
