e/acc founder Beff Jezos amplifies and mocks a recurring AI-safety debate: after an Anthropic employee warned AI could kill us all, critics asked why such a person doesn't simply delete the weights, shut down the training cluster, or send a phishing email to Dario — instead of tweeting about it. Jezos quipped that the employee would rather farm clout than live by his stated values, crystallizing the e/acc-vs-doomer "consistency" argument.
