What Ed said

“You can't expect us to take your word that civilization might end, but at the same time, not expect us to investigate your claims with the full force of the government and hold you accountable if you were wrong.”

“It's time for us to get real about what AI's world-ending capabilities actually are. We want proof, we want evidence, we want receipts, and I'm sorry, vague statements and hand-wavy tweets are not gonna count anymore.”
— **Ed Elson**
“If a company's people are any indication as to how a company is doing, well then the signs at OpenAI are quite plain to see. It's not going great.”
