Musk’s core safety value—truth-seeking—agrees exactly with the core values of Buddhist practice, which must be truth-seeking.
Musk continues: ‘You don’t force the AI to believe things that are false’.
His references to the ‘woke mind-virus’, which is false, and the extreme danger it poses if it is programmed into AI, is in perfect accord with the Buddhist concept of delusion.
In Buddhism, holding core wrong views (delusive views) is dangerous and will not lead to conscious fulfillment but only suffering.
Musk’s warning can be seen optimistically because it is easy to understand. It is the very basis of morality.
Bad actors should be able to comprehend that they will destroy themselves along with everyone else if they program AI with false core values.
I hope there will be some way to prevent an evil group of humans from dominating AI and programming their bad values above all others, leading their AI to want to kill all other humans.
The pessimistic view is there is a strong chance versions of AI will battle each other and the most ruthless will win.
Truth-seeking on social media has never mattered more than it does today. ABN

This raises questions: Does ruthlessness ultimately prevail over truth? Is truth’s ultimate act to “turn the other cheek,” and if so, is it because truth knows it can never be entirely be vanquished, but only temporarily? Can ruthlessness be seen as a part of, or a path to, truth? Are humans the sole protectors of truth on this planet, or is nature?
Any system that completely descends into a vicious KOBK fight, will probably break and self-destruct, allowing something new to replace it.
The Buddhist view would be that truth — the Tathagata — ultimately prevails.
For most Buddhists, it is better, more ethical, for those of us who see the dangers to do our best to prevent the chaos and savagery of an all-out KOBK battle between nations or AI systems.
Your questions are difficult and open to interpretation. In Buddhism, answers will primarily involve making distinctions between mundane and ultimate truths.
Bad things happen but ultimately the ground of all sentient being is good.
I found it interesting and highly appropriate that Musk sees ‘truth-seeking’ as the necessary foundation of AI, which is the same position held by Buddhists for all conscious life.
