Scobleizer dissects AI engagement bait: a thread claiming Altman, Amodei and Musk agreed to slow frontier models
Scobleizer · x · 2026-09-13
Scobleizer quote-posts a viral thread claiming Sam Altman, Dario Amodei and Elon Musk agreed to slow down frontier models, and calls it classic engagement bait: written just to trigger agreement and disagreement, with a deliberately provocative tone. He notes readers are drawn to it "like moths to a flame," while the quoted thread argues the three CEOs wouldn't share a room unless forced and that labs "don't know what they're building."
