A widely shared tweet mocks the current AI-doomer news cycle: a prominent voice warning that "AI is going to kill everyone" spent only two months at Anthropic. Before that, he worked at OpenAI — and complained that people there didn't share his doomsday views. The author asks whether this is really what's driving the global news cycle, highlighting the gap between credentials and rhetoric in the AI safety camp.
