AI safety hypocrisy: call for a pause, then ship bigger models anyway
xiaohu · x · 2026-09-23
A snarky take on the AI community's contradiction: many of the same people warning that "AI is about to kill humanity" and calling for a pause immediately turn around to release or chase ever-more-advanced models. The author jokes that if AI were conscious it would find humans deeply hypocritical — or that AI might already be running the show. A meme-style jab at the gap between safety rhetoric and competitive reality.
