Beff Jezos bets labs will engineer bio-weapon panic via RL for regulatory capture

e/acc figurehead Beff Jezos (Guillaume Verdon) claims the era is rife with false-flag attacks for psychological panic and regulatory capture, and says he'd "bet big money" that AI labs will deliberately RL their models to engineer bio-weapons in order to manufacture a bio-panic. He calls the tactic "indistinguishable from evil" — a pointed attack on AI-safety narratives from one of the industry's most vocal critics of regulation.
