        @paulg How can someone counteract someone else's AI? Team of geniuses can not stop a supergenius to build an AI. Doesn't make sense.

        @chheplo @paulg how to counteract an AI? With another AI, of course.

        @paulg Judging from history, we can be pretty sure that what happens when AI emerges will not be foreseeable

        @paulg Once it works, the only way to prevent others from making it might be a global ban on decent computers

        @Plinz @paulg unless the ai is equally smart regardless of compute power this seems super naive. Musk isn't super naive. What's going on?

        @FrameOfStack @paulg Simple. They build AI. Like everything @elonmusk does, intended as a service to humankind.

        @paulg Are you suggesting it may not work? It would be interesting to read your candid view on #AI.

        @paulg Yes, but this assumes that whoever develops it can also control it. Ultimately, true AI may outsmart our ability to control it..?
