It is so obvious to me that AI is incredibly and perfectly safe. Elon Musk, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman the thousands of AI researchers working for them simply don’t understand AI and have no idea what they are talking about.
Moreover, Elon, Dario, and Sam are really great friends and it is obvious to me that they are orchestrating a grand conspiracy. They also have thousands of their employees bought in on this too.
AI has never killed a lot of people, and it will never kill a lot of people, because if it was going to it would have already done it!
The AI CEOs are greedy and selfish which is why they are deliberately making their products that make them money worse and alienating their users.
This is part of their grand plan to keep me personally in the permanent underclass and take everything from me.
I am entitled to their internal models as soon as they are developed as well as them making better models as fast as possible because I pay them $20 a month.

Social media put our entire discourse in the hands of our society's biggest assholes and idiots, just in time for the arrival of an alien superintelligence

I disagree with AI doomerism. But it is not some conspiracy to make money through regulatory capture.
We've collectively developed an unhealthy obsession with 4d-chess explanations when the simplest one is usually right. Many people at Anthropic and OpenAI say AI could cause human extinction because they actually think so.
I've had spirited debates with friends in and around the AI safety / Effective Altruism worlds. I think they're wrong about many, many important questions and I think they live in quite the bubble. But I have no doubt about their sincerity of their beliefs.
Many of them worked in the field long before there was money or status in it. Many still routinely make choices that are obviously not income-maximizing.
Their argument is pretty simple: exponential acceleration + unclear destination = high chance of catastrophic accident.
We need more discourse on whether that's wrong, and less on their secret motivations.

"Why are AI labs suddenly talking about a slowdown now?" <-- They were talking about it for years but you weren't paying attention until this week
Genuinrisk retweeted
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with how many smart people I read and respect are saying stuff like this.
The idea that the AI labs are suddenly, only now, just in September of 2026, advocating for AI safety, and that they just came around to this position bc of sudden financial precarity, is just completely, utterly, conclusively, 100% wrong.
Here's Dario Amodei telling Ross Douthat in February that he agrees with the case for slowing down; that he's in favor of "collaborating" internationally to organize a slowdown; that "I would be all for" a global slowdown. This was 7 months ago, when Anthropic's annualized recurring revenue was rising faster than any company in modern history. He's been saying stuff like this for years, when Anthropic was worth millions of dollars and when Anthropic was projected to IPO for trillions.
fwiw I think the actual reason leaders of AI frontier labs suddenly seem to agree to pace AI development is
(a) safety measures are currently so crap that they're likely to end up in court if not jail, and they all agree that no one wants that
(b) they see no major new model advancement coming up soon anyway and need an excuse
(c) shift in public opinion
the talk of existential threat is mostly there to keep you distracted and the stock market happy.

🇨🇳 Arsenal has deep commercial and fan-base roots in China, frequently engaging their supporters in the region. The 600-metre Canton Tower in Guangzhou was illuminated with the club's crest and the words Arsenal Champions🏆 and Return of the Kings.
