Part 2 of DrAtoosa's thread continues the critique of EA/YR AI existential-risk discourse.
- Argues the debate has long been conducted in in-bubble language and blog-post-manifesto aesthetics, laden with jargon like "foom," "boom," "doom," "takeoff," and "ASI kills us all."
- Points out this framing often builds on science fiction writers' work, undermining its credibility.
