All this is not just one lone weirdo running tryouts for her cult in some way that’s nothing to do with the rest of the subculture.

Hank Green is a popular science YouTuber who’s been pushing AI doomsday harder and harder for about the past year. The Washington Post article details some of the sponsorships that paid Green to shill for the AI doomsday cult — even as Green says in the article that he thinks AI doomsday is silly.

Green has personal experience of AI doom — when it came out last week just how much of his stuff was written with ChatGPT and Claude. [Mashable]

Hank stood too close to the circus, and caught a stray as a result. You love to see it.

I’m not regretting not getting back to the Frame Fellowship on their offer to join their indoctrination programme.

I understand your sentiment, but part of me wants you to take up the offer if only to waste their money and create some awkward moments for LWers.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
