Strategy positions

AI skepticopposes

AGI risk narratives overstated; real harms are mundane and current

Rejects pause and alignment-first framings; argues AGI is inevitable and the question is about incentives of builders.

“Moralizing AGI governance and innovation, calling some 'bad' and others 'good', is disingenuous. All players are selfish.”
