Calling AI Catastrophic Risk a Marketing Ploy Is a Conspiracy Theory, Argues Commenter
FlorianGallwitz · x · 2026-09-24
The quoted thread by @FournesMaxime pushes back against the claim that AI catastrophic risk is merely a marketing ploy by AI labs, arguing it is literally a conspiracy theory: if the risk claims were fake, CEOs, marketing departments, and even the 1,300 employees who want to slow down AI development would all have to be in on the deception. He also challenges the theory's denial that AI could hack computer systems. FlorianGallwitz endorses it sarcastically, joking about hacking the Australian government for attention before an IPO.
