A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

What article did you read, seeing as there's nothing from Musk in there?
Specifically "Sam Altman or Elon Musk about the “existential risk” artificial general intelligence poses to humanity" which contains a hyperlink leading to an independent article titled "Elon Musk says AI one of the ‘biggest threats’ to humanity", and is just as much unholy brainrot as one might expect.
The full quote is "UNLIKE self-serving warnings from Sam Altman or Elon Musk about the “existential risk” artificial general intelligence poses to humanity". In other words, they're actively denigrating Musk and Altman, and you've taken the quote entirely out of context, in direct opposite to the original meaning.
Can't argue with that, I was ADHD skimming. I will now curl up in ball in the corner and die of embarassment and cringe :(
If it helps, I agreed with your 1st 2 points. You may die with your dignity half intact.

How are those things self-serving?
The warnings are self-serving, not the AI
