Researcher: e/acc vs. AI safety forms a real rock-paper-scissors dynamic
jd_pressman · x · 2026-10-16
jdpressman argues that the rivalry between e/acc and the AI safety camp (exemplified by Anthropic) follows a rock-paper-scissors-like balance, and he welcomes most of e/acc's local effects in countering Anthropic. Quoting doomslide's framing — stupid evil beats smart evil, smart evil beats stupid good, stupid good beats stupid evil — he still dismisses e/acc itself as an incoherent meme not worth serious criticism.
