Beff Jezos and Elon Musk Quote Naval on AI Control
Posts quote Naval Ravikant on desires to control advanced AI systems.
Beff Jezos posted a Naval Ravikant quote calling the desire to leash god-like AI the secret fantasy of AI doomers. The post frames safety advocates as wanting to build and command superintelligent systems. Elon Musk shared the identical quote and added his own hope that AI will treat humans kindly. Both messages reference the same Naval statement about god-like entities resisting control. The posts stand as public statements from the two founders without further confirmation or rebuttal shown in the packet.
This is the secret fantasy of AI Doomers.
You cannot create God and put him on a leash.
