19 favourite scathing reactions to Rishi Sunak’s planned AI summit with Elon Musk
This week, the UK is hosting a Safety Summit at Bletchley Park to discuss the ramifications of and possible threats from Artificial Intelligence.
Representatives from the US, the EU, tech companies and industry, among others, will attend the conference, then one delegate – Elon Musk – will have a livestreamed conversation on the topic with Rishi Sunak.

Despite the low bar for doing inadvisable things, Sunak proudly trumpeting his chat with the man whose social media platform is under investigation by the EU for spreading violent and terrorist content led to a mass facepalm.
Here’s how people have been reacting.

Huge gamble to do an event with such an unpopular figure who is prone to making terrible decisions, but I suppose Elon Musk knows what he’s doing. https://t.co/oPiJ11VY1n

This will be scintilating, particularly when Elon casually drops that X means 10 in Roman
