ctjlewis · x · 2026-08-08
A developer argued on X against current AI safety concerns. He stated that if the rumored AI risks were true, real harm should have materialized years ago, yet none of us have actually been impacted.
He compared the current situation to the dot-com bubble, noting that crazier things happened back then—like a YC cofounder releasing a worm that caused millions in damage. He concluded by urging the industry to accelerate AI development faster than ever.
