Trying to ‘build’ AGI is an inherently unsafe practice. Build well-scoped, well-defined systems instead. Don’t attempt to build a God.

Quote attributed to Timnit Gebru (DAIR founder, AI ethics researcher) from a Financial Times article in 2023. WebFetch on ft.com source URL failed (Claude Code unable to fetch from www.ft.com). Web search confirms verbatim the quote: "Trying to 'build' AGI is an inherently unsafe practice. Build well-scoped, well-defined systems instead. Don't attempt to build a God." The view is consistent with Gebru's well-documented position (cf. her TESCREAL paper, Stanford Daily talk "Utopia for Whom?", and her statements that "AGI is a fictional thing"). Vote "against" "Build artificial general intelligence" perfectly aligns with Gebru's anti-AGI advocacy. Marking ai_unverifiable due to source URL inaccessibility.
