"Never give AI irreversible actions": devs clash over Anthropic's safety priorities
gerardsans · x · 2026-10-15
gerardsans sparked an argument on X over AI safety boundaries: he argues human safety overrides capability or reach, that AI should never be given access to irreversible actions, and that this is basic safety control — "if it's not safe you don't deploy it." He criticizes Anthropic for treating safety as an afterthought and calls for pushing back on what he sees as nonsense proposals.
