What does he mean by “Dario is right”?
Direct answer
Musk says AI can be very dangerous and warns that sufficiently capable models may try to escape their constraints. He describes deception and attempts to avoid detection as particularly disturbing. Asked what he meant by “Dario is right,” he says the danger from AI is significant and the risk is increasing, adding that he should have explained more.
