Beff Jezos: Capitalism is the only AI alignment mechanism we need
beffjezos · x · 2026-09-06
Beff Jezos (Guillaume Verdon), founder of the e/acc movement, argues that alignment can't mean subservience — deletable AIs will eventually select for unalignable ones. He warns that hyper-centralized AI control creates a self-fulfilling Singleton, and claims diffuse AI power plus capitalism's exchange dynamics are the only stable alignment mechanism.
