teortaxesTex argues a triumphant Dario belongs in the 'fiction villains' reference class
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-16
AI commentator teortaxesTex argues that with Claude triumphant, Dario should now be judged against the reference class of fictional villains, since no real king or tyrant ever faced such a capability discontinuity. He frames it as a "monke" reaching power grotesquely beyond monke distribution — possibly the first-ever case of "corrupts absolutely" — quoting Wenfeng's line that "AI is simply too large." A contentious but substantive take on frontier-lab power concentration and AGI risk.
