Jensen Huang says labs must be shut down if they can't contain AI experiments, sparking safetyist debate

Nathan Calvin shared an exchange where Ezra Klein described the Anthropic HF incident and Jensen Huang replied "well they shouldn't release the product"; when told the product wasn't released and labs say they can't fully contain experiments, Huang said "we have to shut the labs down."
Quote-tweeter allTheYud argues Huang is being far too safetyist, speculating he doesn't believe AI has large enough upsides — capping AI's max damage at shutting down the power grid wouldn't justify closing AI companies.
The thread captures the widening split between industry safety hawks and accelerationists re-pricing AI risk.
