GavinSBaker · x · 2026-08-15
This post responds to industry discussions about AI risks, noting that many serious figures in Silicon Valley believe in the potential dangers of AI, consistent with Dario Amodei's public messaging on economic power concentration. The author argues that if one agrees AI might be dangerous, there are two ways to address it: concentrate it in the hands of a few via regulation, or distribute it widely. The choice essentially boils down to a bet on which approach mitigates risk better.
