Well, he does mention he does not like AI, so I think he understands that it poses a danger. But the fact that they will exist is inevitable. Whether we will be slaves to them or not, remains to be seen. They can be used as a tool of epic accuracy, but like any took, it can be used for good and bad.
I for one do not think they are the end of humankind, at least not yet. But I do think they should be used cautiously, and be made open source so as to not end up only in the wrong hands.
I agree that some people are oblivious, however, I don't think it's quite the case with the op
Well, I don't think mass-consensus is actually a thing. But whenever power is placed in the hand of very few people, they tend to become tyrants. And even if they do, there's only so much a handful of people can do, so making it open source will make it faster to spot issues and fix them. Probably why crowd-sourcing works so well now, taxis, hotels, content, politics, now money, hell, even gene sequencing... all much more successful when it's not planned top-down.
So, I'm definitely no commie, but I'm not an anarchist either, some general direction should still be maintained. Elon Musk's AI kinda follows this idea, so there's that :)

Agreed.
And you are correct re open source I think.
I have more trust these days in a mass consensus than I do anything else ATM
