Sacks backs Nadella's AI safety take: separate intelligence supply from authority, treat models as insider risk
RealGeneKim · x · 2026-10-12
David Sacks endorsed Satya Nadella's approach to superintelligence safety: skip the "alignment" framing of self and moral philosophy, and instead apply engineering controls.
- Separate the supply of intelligence from authority over it
- Wrap non-deterministic models in deterministic controls: observability, privilege limits, logging, ability to contain or shut down
- Treat models/agents like powerful insider risks, not moral patients
- Chef founder Adam Jacob notes this is literally what the open-source tool swamp does
