>The people who say there’ll be net additional jobs. I don’t understand what they’re thinking. They must not understand the pace of improvement we’re on.>Well, there’s never been a product that’s less understood in terms of what its capabilities are than AI. And A.I. has crossed the threshold that its ability to empower a bioterrorist to kill hundreds of millions. That exists today. The ability to do a cyberattack that scrambles all the bank accounts, shuts down the electric grid. That exists today.So there you have it.

He's been a huge disappointment. Even though Musk is clumsy and autistic he genuinely intends on trying to Tony Stark humanity forward. Gates just invests in literal shit, Africa, schemes and dooms about, wtf is the point?
he's an ai expert? he retired in what 2000? he dropped out of his bachelors? he spend the last 25 years blowing money on african medicine? the pope is smarter about ai who gives a shit

So the only way forward is for the "good guys" to try to ensure that their AI will be able to defend and counter against any potential attacks made by their adversaries AI systems
Of course he sees the world through the eyes of a psychopath because he is one. Humans have been able to use tools harm each other since the first time a cave man picked up a rock. The real threat is not the tool but the people exactly like him being who controls our society.
