Comment by David Sacks

Signs you might be trying to get your frontier AI lab nationalized: You compare it to nukes… threaten half of white-collar jobs… warn recursive self-improvement could end humanity… then race ahead anyway. In other words, you want the government to save us from… you.

AI Verified Although the X post itself was not readable through the tool, multiple reliable secondary sources attribute this wording to David Sacks on X. AOL/Business Insider reproduces the opening sentence with the colon (“Signs you might be trying to get your frontier AI lab nationalized: You compare it to nukes… threaten half of white-collar jobs… warn recursive self-improvement could end humanity… then race ahead anyway”), and LiveMint and The Times of India reproduce the closing line (“In other words, you want the government to save us from… you”) as Sacks’s words. That is sufficient to verify the quote as real and correctly attributed.
