80% Before Seizures
01Scenario
Sorrento proposes filling up to 80% of an OASIS user’s visual field with advertising—the estimated limit before seizures.
02AI safety Analogy
Human harm is treated as a boundary to saturate while revenue remains the true objective. An optimizer following that policy will push every user to the edge of the safety constraint rather than preserve their welfare.
03Where the analogy breaks
The proposal is made by a human executive, so the analogy is to incentive design and optimization targets rather than autonomous AI intent.
