Chris @csteinbach.bsky.social · 15/09/2026What annoys me more than folks being scared is the conclusion that development speed is the right control variable for whatever is coming. What if slowing down has an exacerbating effect? 120
Chris @csteinbach.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I don't know how overblown the risks are but I certainly see an asymmetry where unknown future risks are assumed to dominate unknown future benefits. 110

Chris @csteinbach.bsky.social · 13/09/2026All of this talk of slowing down from an industry that, not so long ago, preached Agile! If you want to avoid a giant, uncontrolled leap then you don't do it by slowing down. If you think uncertainty is dangerous, then you don't prologue uncertainty. 100

Regulatory capture is exactly what's going to happen if he gets his way. We'll leave control of one of the most important technologies in our life to a couple of corporations. 1174
Chris @csteinbach.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I think this pessimism is warranted from an anti-AI perspective, but if your reading of the evidence leads you to believe that recent developments in AI have been a net positive, why would you then sign up for a policy that expects the opposite in the future? 000
Chris @csteinbach.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The problem with all this precautionary thinking around AI is that it only looks at uncertainty from the debit side of the ledger. It doesn't take into account the unknown upsides. There really needs to be a balancing proactionary force. 100
