Musk’s response
DIAPOSITIVA 2 / 2Musk’s responseThe displayed post expresses support for Amodei’s proposal.

Sam Altman says he agrees with Dario Amodei that frontier AI development needs to be paced, and that the topic has been discussed at OpenAI. In the statement shown, he calls independent evaluators with employee-like access a good idea and says OpenAI will do the same, with more details to come.

Elon Musk also responds in support of Amodei. I see this as a rare moment of alignment that we should take advantage of. These are public statements of support and intent; the clip does not show that the proposed evaluation arrangements are already in place.
