they should create some GPU-based crypto instead of wasting all that heat
talking about AI safety when there is no AI in sight is like arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, time is better spent actually building models of (natural) intelligence
you're not wrong, most of the talk about dangers of AI comes from opinionated AI dilettantes like Musk who then throw millions of dollars on pointless "AI safety" initiatives.
I just hope some of that money would trickle down to fundamental research into inner workings of common sense.
