I’ve had this conversation too many times to not make a meme out of it.

    No I’m not? I’m painting anyone who is a doomer as a doomer, as in, specifically the people who think AGI will kill us all. They don’t care about valid issues, they care specifically about this stupid nonsense that they read about on lesswrong.com

    This is a real subset of people and the meme is making fun of them, because they’re just feeding into the AI hype bubble.

    No one is saying that the valid issues surrounding this tech bubble aren’t real, but that has little to do with the doomer cohort.

      Elon Musk is one of them, kinda famously. Remember when there was that whole movement to rein in OpenAI for 6 months? Elon backed that, while starting xAI.

      It’s a weird intersection of promoting this idea that LLMs are a form of superintelligence and therefore harmful, while also working on your own version of it (That remains under your control of course)
