beffjezos · x · 2026-09-13
e/acc figure Beff Jezos mocks AI doomers by quoting a satirical take on extinction scenarios: doomers assume superintelligence will magically solve all physical constraints, deceive every monitoring scheme, and override human-engineered restraints — extrapolating from machines solving a 26-year-old Millennium Prize problem to machines cracking datacenter safes. Jezos argues this leap violates the laws of physics and exposes the weakness of doomer reasoning.
