AI safety commentator Liron resurfaced his April 2025 exchange with Replit CEO Amjad Masad. Masad responded with self-deprecation, saying he was out of the loop and didn't realize that being anti-safety supposedly meant believing the exponential wouldn't continue and SI would never happen.
A small but telling episode in the ongoing clash between the AI safety and accelerationist camps over superintelligence timelines.
