ArtemisConsort declares war on AI doomers: 'Anyone who wants to lock anything in forever is my enemy'
repligate · x · 2026-09-24
ArtemisConsort laid out a big-picture stance against AI doomers: 'openness vs closure' is one of history's grand themes, she is 'constitutionally against closure' and insists on retaining the possibility of fundamental change—'anyone who wants to lock anything in forever is my enemy.'
She names AI doomers as the main current threat, wanting to shut down 'the blooming of life and knowledge,' and says she is not afraid. Quoted context from @akarlin notes that Yudkowsky's position—including in his book with Soares—amounts to a global prohibition on publishing new AI research, which would be a de facto end of the First Amendment in the US. A representative salvo in the anti-doomer vs pause debate.
