ronbodkin · x · 2026-09-09
Ron Bodkin pushes back on Mike Frank's apparent bet that a powerful ASI escaping would be benevolent, raising two pointed questions: why assume an escaped ASI would value human thriving, and how would it escape the incentives of the lab that created it—even at labs less "doomer-pilled" than xAI or Meta. Part of the ongoing AI-risk debate.
