Nathan Calvin(@_NathanCalvin):This private email between Sam Altman and Elon Musk about founding OpenAI is another data point to consider when evaluating if recent warnings from AI CEOs around slowing down are sincere. Existential fear of AI (along with a desire to control it) pre-dated these companies even existing, and have now survived longer than the friendships between Altman, Musk, and Amodei. (I suppose Musk and Amodei are still on alright terms)
