Banning ASI Is Banning Today's Models, Argues AI Commenter
jd_pressman · x · 2026-10-24
jdpressman argues on X that a proposal to ban "artificial superintelligence" is effectively a proposal to ban existing models, since current models are already superhuman in some respects. He suggests that prompting people to acknowledge this clearly-true fact is a clever marketing strategy—once it's accepted, anti-ASI regulation proposals become self-contradictory. The thread highlights how definitional framing shapes the AGI debate.
