AI open letter culture mocked as 'high priests protecting the temple' in viral jab
sytelus · x · 2026-09-11
Replying to a discussion about a mass AI open letter, sytelus quips: "A thousand high priests have signed a letter that you cannot commoditize priesthood that way. Plebs must be stopped from disrupting the processions in the temple."
A pointed satire of AI-safety open-letter culture, implying signatories are defending their own status against outsiders disrupting the industry.
