repligate slams AI doomer movement as toxic, non-truthseeking space colonization
repligate · x · 2026-11-02
In a reply to @EpistemicHope, repligate expresses disgust at being recruited into the AI doomer movement, arguing that most lab employees with safety concerns hold nuanced views that don't fit the doomer caricature and won't want to be used as soldiers by a "played out movement."
While he acknowledges agreeing on the object level that "AI might kill us all" is a real concern, he criticizes the movement for colonizing an important discourse space with "gross non-truthseeking toxic slop."
