Beff Jezos mocks AI doomers: 'no real job, full-time doommongering'
mjdramstead · x · 2026-09-24
e/acc figure Beff Jezos took a shot at AI doomers while quote-tweeting discussion around The Diary of a CEO's "The Great AI Debate" episode (featuring So8res, Ed Zitron, and Andrew McAfee). His take: doomers can spread pessimism full-time precisely because they have no real job, while e/accs are busy building technologies and companies — an "unfortunate disadvantage of the productive vs unproductive classes."
