HildeKuehne · x · 2026-09-24
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, via C-SPAN footage, warned: "First, we could lose control of the future to AI. The risk is that it moves so fast that people can no longer follow what's happening or intervene when needed." Commentator David Sirota amplified the clip with a pointed jab — that Altman is warning the world about Altman, arguing he can't stop himself — capturing the industry tension between safety rhetoric and breakneck development.
