AI doom debate reignites: critics call Amodei's regulation push a bailout psyop
deanwball · x · 2026-10-12
A heated X exchange: Dario Amodei told CBS that "the government and public need a stake" in AI and wants the whole industry regulated, which FinanceLancelot decodes as a taxpayer-funded bailout plus protection from open-source Chinese models, calling the Jacob Coxon media frenzy an orchestrated psyop. Larry Woodhouse (RT'd by Dean Ball) counters that "AI risk is a psy-op" adherents rarely engage with what the technology can demonstrably do, preferring hand-waving about motives and EA zaniness.
