Elon Musk’s only AI expert witness at the OpenAI trial fears

Stuart Russell is a long-time AI researcher who thinks governments need to restrain frontier labs.

Russell’s been waving this flag for years, and I get the “arms race” worry, but it’s kinda funny seeing him show up as Musk’s lone expert like that magically makes the case about safety instead of contracts. Feels like two different conversations getting stapled together.
