'It's a glass of water': tech veteran mocks AI doom framing of fully controllable AI
vivekhaldar · x · 2026-09-28
vivekhaldar quotes perrymetzger arguing we have complete control over AI — it only acts when asked — and mocks doom discourse with an analogy: one side panics that a glass of water's nuclear energy could destroy a city, the other says "bro, it's just water." He tags it #StopEA, siding against AI-safety alarmism.
