The smartest AI safety and e/acc people are far more nuanced offline than on Twitter
danfaggella · x · 2026-09-13
danfaggella observes that the smartest AGI safety people he knows aren't nearly as anthropocentric as they appear on Twitter, and the smartest e/acc people aren't remotely as optimistic about all trajectories of tech/intelligence as their online personas suggest.
His takeaway: tribal nonsense always squashes nuance — a practitioner's lament about AI discourse polarization.
