Redditor calls out AI companies' 'too powerful to release' narrative as PR spin
vinmi · reddit · 2026-09-29
A Redditor rants against AI companies claiming they'll slow development because models are "too powerful" — arguing it's either a pitch to convince shareholders they're near AGI or an excuse for delayed launches.
He also criticizes media for amplifying apocalypse narratives, conceding AI will take jobs and can be misused, but insisting the end of the world is nowhere close.
