Hey I saw the feedback, and I’ve gotta be honest:
If a post raises real risks that impact everyone using AI, that shouldn’t be labeled as “fear-based.” That’s called responsible conversation.
We can’t sit here and only cheerlead the positive use cases while silencing the uncomfortable parts. Innovation doesn’t die from criticism — it dies from groupthink.
The post wasn’t doom for the sake of doom.
It was a reminder that:
- Accountability matters
- Guardrails matter
- Humans staying in command matters
If a community about AI can’t handle a discussion about the actual dangers of AI… that’s a red flag, not a guideline.
I’m all for productive, educational conversation that’s exactly what I was doing.
But “only talk about the exciting parts” isn’t safety, it’s denial.
We can’t avoid the hard conversations and then act surprised when the problems blow up.
If we want to engage the community safely, we have to talk about all of it the potential and the risk.
I’m not posting to scare people.
I’m posting to wake people up before we sleepwalk off the cliff.
