Hank Green is a popular science YouTuber who’s been pushing AI doomsday harder and harder for about the past year. The Washington Post article details some of the sponsorships that paid Green to shill for the AI doomsday cult — even as Green says in the article that he thinks AI doomsday is silly. Green has personal experience of AI doom — when it came out last week just how much of his stuff was written with ChatGPT and Claude. [Mashable] Hank stood too close to the circus, and caught a stray as a result. You love to see it.
