Zuckerberg argues labs have natural incentives to align models, against slowing capabilities

Mark Zuckerberg published a post arguing every AI lab has both the responsibility and the incentive to train models safely at the pace required. His core claim: agents misaligned with users won't get used, so market forces naturally push labs toward better alignment. On the debate over slowing capabilities until alignment catches up, he contends trust and alignment are quickly becoming the most important differentiating capabilities for agents and models. Kevin Roose amplified it with a sarcastic note that, whatever one's politics or e/acc leanings, Zuckerberg is surely the person best suited to protect us from powerful new tech.
