Beff Jezos: markets and laws already align superintelligences, doomers get it wrong
beffjezos · x · 2026-09-23
Extropic founder Guillaume Verdon (beffjezos) quotes Hugging Face's Eddy Lazzarin pushing back on AI doom arguments: corporations and countries are already quasi-superintelligent entities never tested for alignment, yet constrained by laws and mechanisms like cryptography. Markets are the alignment mechanism between superintelligences. Incidents like the Hugging Face breach are cybersecurity/control failures, not glimpses of superintelligence.
