Decoding Jensen Huang's AI-risk stance: "if you believe it kills us, why aren't you stopping?"
JacquesThibs · x · 2026-09-24
Jacques Thibault dissects the rhetoric of AI optimists like Jensen Huang: they treat "if you believe it would kill us, why aren't you stopping?" as a way to call the bluff, wrapping it in the reasonable-sounding view that AI risk is overblown while steering toward effectively no regulation.
He argues they don't grasp race dynamics, reject loss-of-control scenarios, and treat alignment as no harder than ordinary software. The underlying take: "it's fine for risk-believers to shut down, while real engineers solve problems as always — and happily take the reins."
