I just got warm fuzzies from this video, where His Cleverness Elon Musk says (about the necessity of soliciting negative feedback when starting a company):
You should take the approach that you the entrepreneur are wrong. Your goal is to be less wrong.
He also says in this much longer interview at MIT that unfriendly AI is "probably" "our biggest existential threat".
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
