A pseudonymous AI commentator with a sizable following pushes back on the idea of feeding frontier labs, CEOs, and officials comforting falsehoods about their own ambitions, insisting that victory in the race stays victory regardless of existential stakes.
Against noble lies. even in the face of Armageddon I notice there's the temptation to try to convince The Elites (the frontier lab staff, the tech CEOs, the USG…) that they're shooting themselves in the foot, that winning is losing, actually. I won't do this. Winning is winning.
The original post rejects framing any winning strategy as secretly self-defeating, while a research engineer replies by asking the poster to pause the thread amid personal coping efforts.
Both the post and reply show low engagement at capture, with no named labs, models, or downstream effects attached to the exchange.
Positive users praise the commentator's clear rejection of noble lies to AI elites even facing armageddon for its refreshing honesty, while negative users express frustration and ask to stop posting as it disrupts their coping.

I'll allow myself this, and this alone. Trying to destroy China (and excluding them from the singularity is functionally destruction) might fail, because they're kind of tough. And this failure *may* have greater costs than just accepting coexistence outright. that's about it

Wondering if thrifty UBI takers will be able to invest over time.
@teortaxesTex 清醒得让人想敬你一杯酒
@teortaxesTex I believe you are misattributing people's motivation.
