> If he stays consistent with what he says about AI, I think he might be successful in deterring people from using useful and reasonable AI for a while.

What exactly did he say that would imply that? As far as I know (and I did watch all the recent interviews), his approach boils down to:

- more open access to AI is less dangerous than it being developed in secret by corporations or governments; hence OpenAI

- suggesting that regulators start paying attention (and explicitly advising them not to start regulating outright; just to form an agency that would "gain insight" into the field)
