Elon Musk says

“I am not normally an advocate of regulation and oversight… I think one should generally err on the side of minimizing those things… but this is a case where you have a very serious danger to the public.”

“AI is a rare case where I think we need to be proactive in regulation than be reactive.”

“I think if AI power is widely distributed then, and there's not, say, one entity that has some super AI that is a million times smarter than anything else, if instead the AI power is broadly distributed and, to the degree that we can link AI power to each individual's will, like you'd have your AI agent, everyone would have their AI agent, and then if somebody did try and do something really terrible then the collective will of others could overcome that bad actor, which you can't do if there's one AI that's a million times better than everyone else.”

“It’s not as though I think the risk is that A.I. will develop a will of its own right off the bat, the concern is more that someone may use it in a way that is bad. Or even if they weren’t going to use it in a way that's bad, that someone could take it from them and use it in a way that’s bad. That I think is quite a big danger. So I think we must have democratization of A.I. technology and make it widely available. And that’s obviously the reason that you [Sam Altman], me, and the rest of the team created OpenAI - was to help spread out A.I. technologies so it doesn’t get concentrated in the hands of a few.”

“If you’re not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea.”

“They will be endowed with agency over originally human APIs: screen+keyboard/mouse in the digital realm and humanoid bodies in the physical realm. And gradually they will swap us out.”

“AI will be the best or worst thing ever for humanity.”

“I think A.I. is probably the single biggest item in the near term that’s likely to affect humanity. So it’s very important that we have the advent of A.I. in a good way, that it’s something that if you could look into a crystal ball and see the future, you would like that outcome. Because it is something that could go wrong… So we really need to make sure it goes right.”

“I think having a high bandwidth interface to the brain [is extremely important], we are currently bandwidth limited. We have a digital tertiary self. In the form of our email, computers, phones, applications, we are effectively superhuman. But we are extremely bandwidth constrained in that interface between the cortex and that tertiary digital form of yourself, and helping solve that bandwidth constraint would be very important for the future as well.”

“Mark my words, AI is far more dangerous than nukes… Why do we have no regulatory oversight?”

“The software engineering aspect of deep learning repos I've been watching closely is how they store, catalogue, override, manage and plumb hyperparameter configs. Have come to dislike argparse, YAMLs (too inflexible), and fully enumerated kwargs on classes/defs.”

—Andrej Karpathy

“If we can effectively merge with A.I. by improving the neural link between the cortex and your digital extension of yourself - which already exists, it just has a bandwidth issue - then effectively you become an A.I. human symbiote. And if that then is widespread, [where] anyone who wants it can have it, then we solve the control problem as well. We don’t have to worry about some evil dictator A.I., because we are the A.I. collectively. That seems to be the best outcome I can think of.”

“These new models are generative search engines. Don’t need to search for images, code any more, what comes next..”

—Emad Mostaque

“China, Russia, soon all countries with strong computer science. Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3.”

“Intelligence is about to be pushed out to the edge. So every person, country, and culture has their own constantly updated models, so you’ll have your own model of all your knowledge across modalities. And you can run it on your local hardware without access to the internet.”

—Emad Mostaque

“Stability AI puts the power back into the hands of developer communities and opens the door for groundbreaking new applications. An independent entity in this space supporting these communities can create real value and change.”
