Paul Graham: If You Accept Models Are Getting Dangerous, AI Labs Asking for Regulation Makes Sense
JacquesThibs · x · 2026-09-21
Paul Graham argues that people looking for ulterior motives behind AI labs requesting regulation simply don't grasp that models could be dangerous. If you instead assume models are getting dangerous, or at least unpredictable, the labs' behavior falls into place. Jacques Thibs agrees this is often the crux, while noting some motivated reasoning is inevitably at play too.
