> [Pro AI entryism] is "do[ing] all this [...] by looking like one is staunchly anti AI explicitly." Their end goal is to crush the movement from the inside. They get in, gain power, and completely change the rules, emptying the institutions, so they have weaker enemies. 1/n

> TESCREALs have done entryism into Critical AI, for example, Future of Life Institute is trying to mingle with labor organizations. The same Institute also funds YouTubers to make TESCREAL slop disguised as videos about the risks and harms of AI. Anthropic hijacked the Catholic Church. 2/n

> Bernie Sanders is a TESCREAL puppet now. Hank Green, a science communicator [used] AI in his videos [as did] Holden Thorp, the editor-in-chief of Science the scientific journal, in the making of an article about how AI degrades scientific research and publishing (the irony is FRYING me). 3/n

> Keep your eyes wide open. I have a couple ideas on what you could look out for: 1️⃣ Supporting / liking TESCREALism, Eliezer Yudkowsky, etc. 2️⃣ Claiming "AI helps disabled people" and derivative rhetoric. 3️⃣ Arguing that AI is dangerous unless it's developed in the US, or China. 4/n

@jedbrown.org @cloudquistador.eurosky.social see above & this Jed shared: pivot-to-ai.com/2026/08/06/t... > 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. 5/n

From the article: > A $10,000 stipend That says it all. An organisation that can spend that amount of money. It's kind of funny if you've seen any Pivot to AI YT videos. It's one guy at his desk in the small spare room of his home, surrounded by the junk and cardboard boxes he stores there.

He just moved, I suspect he’s not unpacked yet.

I mean it's all valid either way to be clear

I feel its a microcosm of what we face. Big Tech with Influencers backed by frightening amounts of money. Versus the scrappy resistance struggling to be heard.
