It would be really helpful if folks like Sam Altman and Elon would STFU about dangers and claims of AGI or better in the next months.
If you're actually worried about AI we need to ban any generative AI that can replicate a specific person's voice or appearance. Beyond that I don't see any immediate danger.
A cynical take is that they are just generating hype and investment in their companies. We’re getting close to AGI so better throw a few billion our way before you miss out - is a nice pitch.
How long has Musk been promising full self driving in the next X months (while making people pay $10k for it)? Anyone taking his word as anything close to reality is a fool

Well Sam literally asked for 7 trillion dollars to build out the semiconductor industry enough to support AI. That implies AI is worth that kind of investment. He's a smart guy, but I saw the video and IMHO he really sounded foolish in that moment.
