## Quote — verbatim

> I believe humans will do the right thing when given that they have agency to do the right thing — and not some five unknown board members that take over the most powerful AI for a few days and we have no idea what's going to happen. That's why I believe proof of stake networks, or crypto networks, are a lot more poised to prevent such a Skynet in the future.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

A clear reference to the November 2023 OpenAI board crisis; decentralized governance as AI-safety mechanism.
