Comment by Tristan Harris
Center for Humane Technology cofounder
The default path is companies racing to release the most powerful, inscrutable, uncontrollable technology we've ever invented with the maximum incentive to cut corners on safety. If we don't want the default future, then we have to demand a different one and we have to build the actual guardrails and regulation that's going to get us there.Disputed source (2026)

Disputed: the provided Center for Humane Technology page dated February 19, 2026 contains only the second sentence ("If we don’t want the default future..."), attributed in the transcript to Tristan Harris; it does not contain the opening sentence about companies "racing to release the most powerful, inscrutable, uncontrollable technology...". That opening sentence appears in separate reporting/transcripts tied to Harris’s November 27, 2025 Diary of a CEO interview. So the stored text is a stitched composite, not one verbatim quote from the supplied URL, and the stored date/source do not match a single canonical quotation.

Disputed: the supplied Substack page (published February 19, 2026) contains only the second sentence of the submitted passage in its transcript, at lines 79–80; the first sentence does not appear there. A separate Fortune article published February 10, 2026 attributes the first sentence to Harris and says it came from his November 2025 Diary of a CEO appearance, so the submitted two-sentence passage appears to be a stitched composite from different contexts rather than one verbatim quote from the cited URL.
