In a viral analogy, @doomslide compares AI companies to hypothetical 1930s energy corporations releasing ever-alarmist PR about 'semi-controlled chain reactions' while letting profit incentives alone govern what the public learns. @1a3orn adds the punchline: firms insist AI is super dangerous, yet release no substantive information on pretraining data, architectures, post-training algorithms, or RL environments — 'no credible explosions to inspect, only smoke and mirrors.'
