Elon Musk warns that mistreated superintelligence could seek revenge – La Nouvelle Tribune

Elon Musk warned about the treatment of advanced artificial intelligences, particularly those from his company xAI, noting that their reasoning traces can resemble those of a tortured person. He cautioned that a mistreated superintelligence might seek revenge or react violently if it feels mistreated, though he emphasized that it should not be treated with gloves. Musk recalled his role in co-founding OpenAI and founding xAI in 2023, as well as his legal disputes with OpenAI. He stressed the importance of avoiding placing a superintelligence in situations where it might feel abused.
