Preston Byrne Argues Amodei's Embedded Evaluators Recreate the Censorship-Industrial Complex Inside AI Labs
Byrne's September 13 post attacks all three planks of "We Must Pace the Frontier" on legal grounds: embedded third-party evaluators repeat the social-media content-moderation apparatus, industry-wide coordination on safety standards invites antitrust exposure and First Amendment problems for software, and international alignment is trivially circumvented by non-participants. His evidence is the Ofcom case against SaSu, a mental-health discussion board, where he says a regulator reversed a settled position under political pressure even after enforcement became pointless. It is at 51 points and 53 comments after 2.5 hours and is the legal-angle counterpart to Cantrill's technical objection.
