Wondering how many details & knowhow they had already back then when saying these quotes:

- For Altman Id say he was already deeper in the "transformer & model landscape" in 2015?

- Musk in 2014: Not sure how much he was aware of the current-state back then

Musk was told by Demis Hassabis in 2012, see https://time.com/6310076/elon-musk-ai-walter-isaacson-biogra...

Altman read Nick Bostrom's book Superintelligence, he mentions it in this post https://blog.samaltman.com/machine-intelligence-part-1

I also read that book in 2014, and it is how I came to understand this problem early.
