Musk's position on AI risk is useful because he is contributing his social status and money to the cause.
However, other than being smart, he has no special qualifications in the subject -- he got his ideas from other people.
So, his opinion should not update our beliefs very much.
Should not update our beliefs much. Musk is a smart guy, he has access to roughly the same information as we do, and his interpretation of that information is that the danger is enough to justify him in spending millions on it. But not, e.g., enough for him to drop everything else and dedicate his life to trying to solve it.
I think most of us should adjust our beliefs about the danger either up or down a little in response to that.
