robleclerc · x · 2026-09-15
David Sacks has a simple message for the AI doomer class: if your product isn't safe, don't ship it — calm down, focus on good engineering in the lab, and the problems can be solved. Investor Rob Leclerc backs him with a SpaceX analogy: the company blew up plenty of rockets before crewed flight, and incidents in testing are exactly what testing is for — you test and iterate.
