Doom Debates releases "The Case Against Eliezer Yudkowsky" featuring Dr. Holly Elmore, founder of PauseAI US, who argues the AI safety field's founder is undermining his own movement: she calls his Coherent Extrapolated Volition framework an attempted "coup" on humanity and says his public behavior alienates people PauseAI needs to reach. Host Liron Shapira defends CEV and warns against internal circular firing squads. Topics include Pause AI vs. "pacing the frontier" and core splits within the AI safety community.
