If I could put a pause on AI or really advanced AI, superintelligence, I would. It doesn’t seem that is realistic.

Source URL (washingtonpost.com July 12, 2023 article on Elon Musk and xAI) returns 403 to WebFetch but multiple corroborating sources (CNBC, ABC News, Britannica, TIME) confirm Musk made this statement during the July 2023 Twitter Spaces xAI announcement. Slight paraphrasing in our quote ('If I could put a pause on AI or really advanced AI, superintelligence, I would. It doesn't seem that is realistic.') vs. closer reports ('If I could press pause on advanced AI digital super-intelligence, I would. But it doesn't seem like that is realistic'). Substance is identical. Author attribution to Elon Musk is correct. Year 2023 matches. Vote 'for' on statement #379 ('Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached') is correctly aligned: Musk explicitly says he would pause superintelligence development if he could — his pragmatic skepticism is about feasibility, not desirability. Verified.
