X debate: assassinating Sam Altman would accomplish little, but public and corporate reactions might diverge
cis_female · x · 2026-09-10
In an X discussion about what could realistically change the AI trajectory, a poster argues they were imagining something more general than just assassinating Sam Altman, which "would do nothing". They add that the response to a killing is hard to predict: public reactions might even be positive while companies react negatively, and working with the AI companies would make any such task far easier. Kept as substantive AI-circle debate.
