Sarcastic meme skewers AI labs: hoard all knowledge into a black box, 'we're the good actors'
ludwigABAP · x · 2026-09-24
A sarcastic tweet mocks AI lab rhetoric: "Knowledge is power, hence inherently dangerous. To mitigate the danger, we propose gathering all knowledge around the globe, legally or otherwise, and compressing it into a monolithic black box that we can guard from bad actors. Luckily for you, we are the good actors of course."
The joke highlights the contradiction between labs' safety framing and their monopolistic accumulation of humanity's knowledge.
