Commenters are pointing out that the author of the "AI doom" post that racked up over 100 million views worked at Anthropic for barely six weeks, fueling suspicions that the whole episode is "theatrics" with "something else going on behind the scenes."
The post captures the ongoing AI-community spat over the ex-Anthropic employee's resignation: his doomer take went massively viral, while critics use his short tenure to question both his authority and the mechanics of how the story spread.
