Everyone should slow down AI development except for me

Satire calls for a global AI pause so one lab can catch up.
A satirical post argues that frontier AI research should pause globally, allowing Techaro's Lygma AGI lab to catch up with its Intelliga series of models. The stated goal is to create AGI to give people cat ears, while subliminal advertising promotes catgirl ideals. The author frames this as ensuring AI aligns with human interests and Techaro's bank account, referencing a "FelonyBench" score and avoiding an XK-class end-of-world scenario.
What commenters are saying
Commenters largely recognized the piece as satire, with some expressing agreement in a joking tone. A split emerged between those focused on immediate AI harms (job displacement, suicide risks, education damage) and those worried about existential risks from superintelligence. Several commenters criticized "AI Safety" advocates for prioritizing sci-fi scenarios over real-world harms, while others argued the existential risk is genuine and warrants attention.
