iamtrask: AI safety community avoids copyright alliance to protect its vendor-lobbying strategy
iamtrask · x · 2026-09-20
OpenMined's iamtrask weighs in on why the AI safety community has avoided allying with the pro-copyright crowd.
- His guess: the community is simultaneously running a conflicting strategy — lobbying AI companies to be pro-safety, which requires careful status-game play and picking battles
- He acknowledges the same community could pursue contradictory strategies in parallel, but it would require people to defect from the well-paid, prestigious status-game side into complex legal proceedings
