Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“He has done so much harm in recent weeks, though, ranging from violent cuts on science research to, in a deeply Orwellian move, preparing to feed massive amounts of private information into unreliable generative AI for the purposes of making employment decisions that I no longer find him remotely reasonable.”
What we tested: In recent weeks Musk has done so much harm, including violent cuts to science research and preparations to feed massive amounts of private information into unreliable generative AI to make employment decisions (a deeply Orwellian move), that Marcus no longer finds him remotely reasonable.
Assessment: UnresolvedSaid
“I personally noticed Musk’s shutting out of opposing views when he stopped answering my emails when I warned him in July – correctly - that throwing in with Trump would undermine the cause of AI safety (which for a decade, until a few weeks ago, seemed extremely important to Musk).”
What we tested: Musk's alignment with Trump has undermined the cause of AI safety, as Marcus correctly warned in July 2024.
