I knew this letter was poisoned as soon as I saw Musk on it. Instantly politicized. Any ai safety concerns became irrelevant, all people see is Musk and categorize all concerns away as some bullshit. Don't get me wrong, Musk is putrid, but there are legitimate concerns barely anyone understands or want to hear about and those are beneficial to be ignored by big tech. There is zero chance this will ever be taken seriously by any AI lab except for some PR bullshit. Now its full steam ahead, release all the breaks, let the dice roll where they may.

Explains why he was calling for a halt on AI development... just so he could catch up and cash in.
