Dean Ball: Handing AI companies' keys to AI itself is a bad idea
austinc3301 · x · 2026-11-11
Dean Ball argues that letting AI control the development of its successors with little practical human oversight — effectively handing the keys of America's largest AI companies to AI — is a bad idea. Humans should remain in actual, not just nominal, control of AI development, and he supports laws, regulations and norms to enforce this worldwide. The reposter notes this comes in the context of clarifying that other forms of RSI opposition are poorly parameterized and over-scoped.
