I think that there are many rare and positive qualities of Musk that I try to emulate, and some rare qualities that are damaging and that I shouldn’t emulate. Importantly, from many broad perspectives (like thinking that economic growth is a robust good) it’s pretty weird to think that Elon Musk is bad. I presume you think Musk is pretty unilateralist and think that he probably did net damage with the building of OpenAI?
I think Musk is impressive in many ways. I didn’t really intend to express skepticism of him in particular, so much as of what might happen if one created loads more people as agenty as him. For example, I can easily imagine this accelerating capabilities progress relative to safety progress, which strikes me as bad.
I’m not aware of existing organizations that seem likely to me to create such a factory.
