danfaggella · x · 2026-09-18
Pushing back on conspiracy readings of AGI lab insiders discussing governance, danfaggella argues the real cause is simple: Coxon opened the floodgates, letting roon, Jakub, and other lab employees speak freely. Before the topic went mainstream, roon would likely have been fired for being so blunt about risk; now he can openly call for the coordination many have long known would be necessary.
