e/acc founder mocks AI-pause camp: "let cancer win to protect Dario's margins"
beffjezos · x · 2026-09-10
Beff Jezos, founder of the e/acc movement, quote-tweets a jab at the AI-safety camp: "we could cure your mom's cancer soon, but we have to pause because fear tactics are profitable." His retort — "we're going to let the cancer win to save Dario's profit margins" — mocks Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and frames AI-safety advocacy as a lucrative fear-based business. The latest salvo in the long-running e/acc vs. AI-safety feud over whether pausing AI delays lifesaving benefits.
