e/acc Founder Beff Jezos Mocks "AI Doomer Physiognomy" in Debate Sparking Backlash
beffjezos · x · 2026-09-12
Beff Jezos, founder of the e/acc movement, posted a mocking "physiognomy of an AI Doomer," claiming doomers have low testosterone, low physical strength, and rely on tribal authority — joking that "putting testosterone in the water" would fix the AI Doomer epidemic. Quoting a tweet claiming neurotic white male researchers disproportionately panic about AI apocalypse, the post adds fuel to the ongoing e/acc vs. AI-safety culture war.
