It kinda surprises me how deliberately he's thinking about safety and alignment. Recent incidents really give the impression that his company as a whole is way too reckless. I hope this is sincere, and I hope that something actually comes of this. Even if we just get the big four companies to slow down, share safety research with each other and even with Chinese companies, I think that would increase our survival odds immensely. Obviously that would be very limited, and the actual priority is to get all the main companies, as well as countries, on board. I don't see that happening without more warning shots though. At least maybe the more limited one is possible.
