After being accused of advocating "acceleration," Dan Faggella clarifies he has fought against acceleration for 10+ years and lays out his record: in September 2026 he was at UN HQ advocating AGI red lines alongside Bengio, Jaan Tallinn and others, with 5+ former heads of state in the room; he interviews AGI-coordination proponents east (Tsinghua's dean) and west (Russell, Bengio); and has spoken at the UN/OECD on AGI coordination for 7+ years, noting 99% of people in those rooms still think AGI is a fairytale.
