Revisiting the AI dictatorship essay: 90% on coordination, thin on conclusions
JoshPurtell · x · 2026-09-26
Josh Purtell and arctotherium42 debate an essay by S.A. on AI dictatorship. Purtell revises his earlier criticism: 90% of the essay elaborates coordination problems, and while the author endorses AI dictatorship at the end, the position gets little real argument—possibly why he glossed over it before.
Both agree the author is a poor writer, too lazy to edit, or both.
