By the way if OpenAI were suggested before Musk, it would likely be regarded as such shaky idea.

Many people do regard OpenAI as a shaky idea.

Do you mean the whole field of AI would regard OpenAI as a shaky idea before Musk, or just safety-conscious AI researchers?

I was speaking about safety researchers.

In that case, yeah, it's still shaky, albeit less so than if Musk wasn't involved.
