Jacob Coxon's viral thread is not the first coordinated AI doomer op. The Guardian ran an story where the publisher, the reporter, the subject, and the three “experts” were all paid by the same two AI doomer foundations. Brian Chau explains on the latest Counterweight.

@brianchau57 I was wondering how media like The Guardian survive these days. It's through corruption.

@brianchau57 So, the Guardian's only purpose, actually two, is to wipe one's arse after a Taco Bell burrito blow-out lunch or to line one's bird cage with, would that sum it up?

@brianchau57 Just about!

@brianchau57 The Marxists aren't messing around anymore. It's a closed echo chamber and they own it, completely.

@brianchau57 if true, the Guardian owes readers a full funding disclosure and those "experts" owe an explanation. journalism can't outsource credibility to grant-writing and call it reporting.

@brianchau57 👍👍👍

@brianchau57 I think I need some evidence to back up a claim. Just because someone says it doesn’t make it true. It actually sounds as if it were put out to intimidate people. He doesn’t seem trustworthy.

@brianchau57

@brianchau57 AI is a massive grift operation

@brianchau57 If true, that raises serious questions about conflicts of interest and the independence of AI-safety coverage. Transparency about funding matters.

@brianchau57 Brian thank you exposing these weirdos

@brianchau57 Who benefits from folks in the West fighting against data centers?
