Jensen Huang slams 'end of humanity' AI predictions as nonsense; Chollet maps the doomer camps

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang dismissed predictions that AI means "the end of humanity" as "complete nonsense," offering a motive: "What better way to create demand than to create a problem?"
François Chollet (beffjezos) amplified the clip, arguing Jensen and Elon are the only counterweight to the doomers — OpenAI plays both sides while Anthropic is "full Doomer." The exchange is a crisp snapshot of the current safety-debate fault lines across the major labs.
