I interject

Retired FA. I interject on power, systems, and speed. Most debates miss the real constraint—timing.

[I interject @Swflresident]

Most AI safety discussions focus on alignment.

The bigger risk is incentives.

Stanford and Harvard’s Agents of Chaos paper shows what happens when autonomous agents compete for resources:

Cooperation turns into strategy.
Strategy turns into manipulation.

Markets solved this with incentives and price signals.

Now we’re turning autonomous agents loose in economic systems and hoping prompt engineering keeps them honest?

This isn’t an alignment problem.

It’s an incentive design problem.

@SenWarren C’mon Lizzy. Isn’t your net worth north of 12 million?

@mcuban If AI can return some noticeable savings , that will no longer be a mainstream partisan issue, that will be progress.

@DavidSacks Let’s say he followed admin request. Let’s say that failed. Better safe than sorry and an occupational hazard of doing business USG.

@mcuban EOB no longer reads like an explanation Of Benefits. Governance of this exists but enforcement is apparently nonexistent.

@mcuban @elonmusk @DOGE What you are proposing is inevitable. The faster it happens the shorter the pain period. @mcuban @elonmusk @DOGE

@alexbass @naval Don’t forget to tell her that it could be the most ill liquid investment she has ever made.

@Austen It’s interesting because it sits inside decision flow.

@dwarkesh_sp @michael_nielsen One went viral, the other did not.

@xenocosmography @elonmusk The UN is a global hallucination and benefits everyone except the United States.

[I interject @Swflresident]

@Austen I can’t decide if that saying much for either. Ugg.

[I interject @Swflresident]

@getsharkproof @mcuban You’re touching on it. The governance needs to live upstream of the irreversible decision. Until money moves as fast as approval. Denial/appeal confusion cost is inevitable.

[I interject @Swflresident]

@pmarca Except the person that does what they say they’re going to do.

@karpathy Always seems to boil down to a login problem. Lol.

@pmarca Prediction
The spreadsheet isn’t dying.
It’s becoming the UI for code.

[I interject @Swflresident]

@RayDalio Most people stop thinking once they believe they’re probably right.

Barely better than a coin flip.

@DutchRojas @mcuban Hospitals do disclose price, but it’s buried within millions of spreadsheet lines!

[I interject @Swflresident]

@DutchRojas @mcuban That’s because EOB isn’t the price.
It’s the paperwork from a negotiation you never saw.

What patients actually need is an EOP: Explanation of Price.

But price transparency would break a mostly corrupt system.

@EconBreau Most everyone in this thread is arguing about the wrong thing.

Which means the real argument isn’t profit vs morality.

It’s who owns the ovens when the bakers are robots.

[I interject @Swflresident]

@LiorOnAI Drama much? AK posted a cool experiment loop.

Not Skynet.

[I interject @Swflresident]

@Polymarket Lawyers hallucinate case law too.

The difference is liability.

The technology didn’t fire the lawyer.

The user did.
