> I and HN haven't been brainwashing you that the world is sure to end because of AI doom for the last 5 years. Do you actually have a definition of "brainwashing" that isn't equivalent to "convincing" here? I really shouldn't engage with you because you seem far more interested in the emotive connotations of words than the actual meanings of them but I'm admittedly a bit curious if you are aware of what you're doing. (You clearly don't have any actual knowledge on the subject if you think there's any profit involved here, I know a lot of rationalists, our net donations to MIRI is $0. Various anti-malaria causes? Likely over a million)
