Beff Jezos Slams Anthropic's Safety Push as 'Unprecedented Soft Power Consolidation'
beffjezos · x · 2026-09-13
Guillaume Verdon (Beff Jezos) quote-posts criticism of Dario Amodei, noting he never answers who defines the 'right way' to build AI or what happens to non-compliers. Verdon argues the safety camp's self-image as heroes showing everyone how to build AI 'the right way' is a perfect excuse to convince people to give up control over a tool that is effectively an extension of their cognition—calling it an unprecedented bid for soft power consolidation. The latest round in the public e/acc vs. Anthropic safety-regulation feud.
