e/acc Figure Beff Jezos: 'AI Safety Is the New Woke'
beffjezos · x · 2026-09-13
Beff Jezos, the prominent e/acc figure, attacks the AI safety camp:
- Claims "AI Safety is the new woke"
- Accuses the AI doomer NGO industrial complex of trying to become the new DEI NGO cottage industry
- Frames it as a consolidation of power by one ideological cluster masquerading as "neutral third-party auditing" and compliance requirements
Another salvo in the long-running e/acc vs AI safety feud.
