- Extropic founder Guillaume Verdon (Beff Jezos) quoted Andercot to argue that AI cannot be controlled by a few people or a committee from a single "weird ideological cluster" originating in Berkeley, California.
- The quoted Andercot post claimed it's terrifying that this archetype of moral reasoning has massive influence over the production and distribution of AI.
- The exchange is part of the ongoing AI governance feud between critics of the Bay Area effective altruism safety camp and its defenders.
