[Beaver 🦁 @beaverd]

so tired of AI doomers. Complete retards. LLM's aren't even AI they're just advanced prediction algorithms

They predict words. Thats it. They're not generative or sentient it is just software

its like being scared of covid. you're an idiot

This post looks like the start of a VERY sophisticated and well-funded PR operation to get support for Democrats to regulate AI into oblivion. Let me show you how it works:
1.) This guy, with minimal followers and no previous account activity, goes to the Wall Street Journal which publishes an exclusive with quotes from him on his resignation 18 minutes BEFORE this post goes up. Planning was clearly done in advance.

2.) Within hours, it has tens of thousands of reposts and the account has 100k+ followers. The post is punchy, quotable, it almost seems professionally written. The first three accounts to quote tweet it all do so within 15 minutes of the initial posting. Remember, this account had basically zero engagement beforehand, so an organic reach explanation seems unlikely.

According to Grok those accounts are @_NathanCalvin (General Counsel at Encode AI), @peterwildeford (Head of Policy at the AI Policy Network), and @DKokotajlo (Head of the AI Futures Project), all of which are up-and-coming AI-Doomer policy advocacy nonprofits.

The AI Futures Project website says it is funded “primarily” by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which says on its own website that it has advised Jaan Tallinn, Skype creator and one of the leading investors in Anthropic, to grant over $2.5 million to the AI Futures Project since 2024.

Encode AI says on its website that it is ALSO funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund, which in turn says that it told Anthropic investor Jaan Tallinn to grant $516,000 to Encode AI in 2025.

And wouldn’t you know it, the Survival and Flourishing Fund ALSO says it told Jaan Tallinn to grant $2 million to the AI Policy Institute, the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the AI Policy Network, as well.

What are the odds that the first three quote tweets of Coxon’s post would all be major AI-restriction policy advocates funded generously by the same donor, who also happens to be one of the leading investors in, and a board member of, Anthropic, the company Coxon was resigning from? And all within 15 minutes of posting (two within ten)?

3.) Jacob Coxon doesn’t have much of a resume, but we do know that, in 2022, he got a $20,159 scholarship for the “long term future scholarship program” from the Good Ventures Foundation, one of the philanthropic vehicles of Dustin Moskovitz, a notorious AI-doomer who has spent tens if not hundreds of millions on policy advocacy to strictly regulate AI, while also being an Anthropic Investor himself.

It also just so happens that the 14th person to quote Coxon’s post was @MaxNadeau_ (27 minutes after posting) who is the program officer for the Technical AI Safety team at Coefficient Giving, another of Moskovitz’s philanthropic spending vehicles. Max is not a frequent poster, his last posts before quoting Coxon were before Labor Day, but he was remarkably quick off the mark for this one.

4.) Basically every major Democrat politician and candidate has suddenly glommed on to this post, and conveniently, as the people cry out foe answers, Bernie Sanders already has a bill written to “ban super intelligence” and regulate AI into oblivion, and will be releasing later this week. The bill, among many other things, will create “a new cabinet-level federal agency to safeguard the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence” that will be “advised by an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Board comprised of experts on artificial intelligence.” Do you think, perhaps, Anthropic and its many investors who fund AI policy advocacy might have interest in getting to place a pet “expert” on the board of an entity that dictates what AI is and isn’t allowed to do? And isn’t it fortuitous that this whistleblower came forward with his oh-so scary stories so close in proximity to the release of the most radical piece of AI legislation ever introduced?

There seems to be a large scale, coordinated "AI will kill us" push happening on X right now.

Same talking points, same framing, repeated over and over from different accounts and researchers.

The timing is interesting too, especially with AI progress accelerating this fast.

At this point, it feels less like debate and more like a coordinated decel/doomer campaign.

AI literally just solved one of the biggest problems in mathematics and designed a drug showing age reversal effects in humans, and they’re doubling down on "AI will kill us."

The disconnect from what’s actually happening is unreal.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

[puddle @puddelleofmud]

@jenzhuscott EXACTLY. like not just how but WHY? like just because something has the ability to create something to kill doesn’t mean that it will kill guaranteed. so WHY would it choose to kill us?????

@egodeathceo what if a chinese person doesn’t want a foldable phone tho? dies that make them spiritually not Chinese? In my opinion, Chineseness can only be applied, not revoked

[Mike Gatto @mikegatto]

Those of you who believe AI could “kill us all within a decade”, please articulate precisely how and why that would happen.

Those who believe it can’t happen, state what guardrails would prevent it.

Me? I remember the Y2K panic, and tend to think the claim is a little hyped.

@MerryLevov and then WHY???? like why would it even want to? just because you have the ability to do something doesn’t mean you’re going to do it or have to do it.
