Its clear from listening to podcasts/interviews, he does not want to say anything to get on elons bad side. Interviewers appear to also not be eager to broach the subject.

If indeed he doesn't have the heart for basic honesty then why should anyone listen to him about anything?

This is not a high bar. This is not some impossible moral standard to be held to.

This really is an easy one.

  • Being honest about self-driving AI gets you sued by the richest guy on earth.

    • Honesty is not the same thing as justified dishonesty.

      If you can paint him as a rational agent for lying, you can still be a rational agent and ignore his lies.
