It doesn’t have to come to this. Seems far fetched. If this is a stunt (which I’m not saying it is) the reason could be that he wants to found his own AI company. If I see in a few months that happens, then I’d be more inclined to think that this was just hype.
I don't understand how you can make this claim while working in software engineering and seeing how our field has utterly transformed over the last year, then the unrelenting march of astonishing breakthroughs and incidents this summer. It's like we're living on different planets. What would it take to convince you that the technology poses real, societal-scale risks and that people working at the labs genuinely believe what they say when they talk about them?
I have a hard time believing that these companies aren't spending some amount of money manipulating public perception with social media influencers who are moonlighting as employees.

It's either that, or that he drank the Koolaid a long time ago.
