Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Cardano, recently voiced concerns about the diminishing utility of artificial intelligence (AI) models. On Sunday, he tweeted that AI censorship, specifically through alignment training, is leading to a loss of utility over time.
AI censorship involves using machine learning algorithms to automatically filter content deemed objectionable or sensitive. This practice, often employed by governments and major tech companies, aims to shape public opinion by promoting certain viewpoints while restricting others. Hoskinson is particularly worried about the profound implications of such censorship. He argues that it prevents access to certain knowledge decided by a small, unelected group.
To illustrate his point, Hoskinson shared screenshots of responses from OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude. He asked both chatbots how to build a Farnsworth fusor. The responses highlighted the limitations imposed by alignment training.
Previously, Hoskinson also emphasized Cardano’s potential to surpass Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market. He believes Cardano’s adaptability and robust governance are crucial for its growth. In contrast to static companies like BlackBerry, Yahoo, and Myspace, Cardano aims to evolve continuously, ensuring its relevance in the dynamic tech landscape.
Hoskinson asserts that Cardano’s mission is to revolutionize global economic, political, and social systems. The project aims to empower individuals and communities to innovate and launch new ventures, potentially creating a multi-trillion-dollar ecosystem. Cardano’s focus on decentralization, flexibility, and strong governance distinguishes it from competitors. Hoskinson compares Bitcoin to gold, highlighting its static nature, while Cardano’s first principles of thinking and on-chain governance allow it to adapt swiftly to new challenges.

He notes that the project sought to achieve multiple complex objectives simultaneously. This ambition has led to criticism as the project nears completion of its goals. Despite this, Hoskinson remains focused on Cardano’s long-term vision. He has often stated that the project is not just about token price but about changing the world.
