Dangerous Delusions of the Doomers: How Dan Hendyrcks and his Ilk Aim to Destroy the Future of AI
Ah, the doomers. Those charming, measured, and dangerously delusional advocates of AI centralization and control. Leading the charge is none other than Dan Hendyrcks, the man who believes that AI has an 80% chance of wiping out humanity. But don’t let his polished facade fool you – this doomer extraordinaire has a sinister plan to crush open source AI innovation and hand over the keys to our AI future to a select few.
The Insidious California AI Control and Centralization Bill

Enter SB 1047, the California AI Control and Centralization Bill, a devilishly clever piece of legislation designed to sound harmless while harboring dark intentions. Hendyrcks and his cronies claim the bill protects open source AI, but a closer look reveals a de-facto ban on advanced open source models. They want model makers to have remote kill switches and eternal liability for their creations, effectively forcing AI development into the hands of a small, tightly controlled group of companies. The brilliant minds behind AI innovation cringe at the thought of the Turing Police monitoring their every move.
Roy Moss, the Director of Information at PISR, had this to say from his undisclosed location in Alaska: “I don’t trust computers, but I trust these doomers even less. They’re like wolves stalking the most attractive goat in the herd, waiting for the right moment to pounce and destroy open source AI. I’m just glad I have my trusty typewriter and bear traps to keep me safe.”
The Doomer’s Delusion: A Step-by-Step Guide
Yann LeCun, esteemed AI researcher, breaks down the doomer’s delusion with surgical precision. It all starts with the belief that AI will kill us all, leading to a series of logical leaps that would make even the most buggy GPT model blush. The end goal? Ban open source AI, monopolize the technology, and scare the public into submission with prophecies of doom. All while appearing respectable and well-funded by clueless billionaires who should know better.

The AI community must stand united against the dangerous delusions of the doomers. We cannot let fear and irrationality dictate the future of AI. Innovation, collaboration, and open source development are the keys to unlocking the true potential of artificial intelligence. Let’s ensure that the doomer’s delusion remains nothing more than a dystopian fantasy.
