“We believe any deceleration of AI will cost lives. Deaths that were preventable by the AI that was prevented from existing is a form of murder.”

One would think that billionaires would want to avoid talking about whether preventable deaths should be considered a form of murder. Exploitation leads to a lot of preventable deaths. Tax avoidance leads to a lot of preventable deaths. The billionaires likely have the blood of millions on their hands.
