On HN A lot of people think that AI safety is a conspiracy by labs to get regulatory capture.

I wonder what they think of this? Will they patch the conspiracy theory and come up with an even wilder theory?

Has anyone ever said AI safety is a conspiracy by labs to get regulatory captiure but also said there are zero useful idiots employed by these labs?

patch: AI safety thing is a ruse to do regulatory capture. And there also exist a shit load of people who are ideologically committed to AI safety. But they are useful idiots. Dario Amodei was an AI safety guy since 2015, so according to this patch, he himself was a useful idiot in OpenAI and left it to start a company that beat OpenAI.

Amodei is so committed to A.I. safety that it must have been some other company that announced 24,000 fraudulent accounts distilled his model. I'm sure he runs a tight ship.

He's so safety focused that their models are behind those reckless unsafe OpenAI developers, right?
