AI x-risk debate turns to name-calling: skeptics accused of 'indefensible faith'
ctjlewis · x · 2026-09-16
morallawwithin posted that some people are "born with an utterly indefensible faith that existential risk is impossible," adding they may be beyond hope. ctjlewis quote-replied with a meme: "They don't even try to make arguments anymore, they just look at you like this."
A snapshot of the ongoing x-risk believer vs. skeptic feud, with each side accusing the other of arguing from faith rather than reason — typical fodder for AI-circle faction culture.
