The source, on Reddit: Elon Musk’s deleted Edge comment from yesterday on the threat of AI.
The original comment:
“The pace of progress in artificial intelligence (I’m not referring to narrow AI) is incredibly fast.

The recognize the danger, but believe that they can shape and control the digital superintelligences and prevent bad ones from escaping into the Internet. That remains to be seen…” – Elon Musk
