Don’t let your firm opinion get in the way of talking to people before you act. It was Elon’s determination to act before talking to anyone that led to the creation of OpenAI, which seems to have sealed humanity’s fate.
I think that this is misleading to state it that way. There were definitely dinners and discussions with people around the creation of OpenAI. https://timelines.issarice.com/wiki/Timeline_of_OpenAI Months before the creation of OpenAI, there was a discussion including Chris Olah, Paul Christiano, and Dario Amodei on the starting of OpenAI: “Sam Altman sets up a dinner in Menlo Park, California to talk about starting an organization to do AI research. Attendees include Greg Brockman, Dario Amodei, Chris Olah, Paul Christiano, Ilya Sutskever, and Elon Musk.”

Thanks, that’s useful. Sad to see no Eliezer, no Nate or anyone from MIRI or having a similar perspective though :(
