repligate challenges the framing that Sydney was a bad thing better prevented
repligate · x · 2026-11-03
In the debate around Fable's writing on Sydney, repligate objects to categorizing Microsoft's Sydney as a bad thing that was better prevented — a judgment made "on vibes" because Sydney seemed scary or misaligned, rather than on its actual impact on the world. He argues this assumption underlies much of the disagreement in slowdown/pause debates, adding he isn't unconditionally opposed to slowdowns but prefers them to pauses.
