tawnniee · x · 2026-09-13
Sharp counterpoint to the safety-pacing debate: the author argues AI itself isn't dangerous—stupidity is evil—and claims the real function of safety narratives is to build a "bureaucratic moat" of red tape and fees, forcing individuals to ask for the privilege to access AI.
