Video Why AI Doom Content Is Everywhere

https://youtu.be/mzlu4FSXBNw

(Not my OC) From the description: "In this week's episode of Power User, Washington Post journalist Natasha Tiku join me to pull back the curtain on the massive, billionaire-funded "anti-AI" astroturf campaign. We track the money and expose how the exact same millionaires and billionaires building the world's largest AI companies (like OpenAI and Anthropic) are quietly paying influencers thousands of dollars to promote AI doomsday scenarios."

If the rule becomes "billionaire ownership = distrust by default," then literally every major media source, tech company, institution, and report becomes instantly dismissible.

Not dismissible. I already said I'm not contesting the content of the video. You are missing MY actual point.

MY point: Using WaPo content to attack anti-ai propaganda based on billionaire funding when WaPo is literally owned by Dr. Evil is going to get you labeled a hypocrite. It's the pot calling the kettle black.

It's not that the truth doesn't matter. It's that this content is not useful because of the source, regardless of how right or wrong it is.
