Beff Jezos Calls AI Safety Advocates Nation Traitors
The remark appeared in replies to a tweet by developer Ben Awad on X.
TLDR
Beff Jezos posted that AI safety advocates are traitors to the nation. The comment came in replies to Ben Awad sharing multiple sponsorship requests from the Center for AI Safety for anti-AI YouTube videos. Taylor Lorenz noted that such videos draw high views and quiet payments from AI safety organizations. Susan Zhang linked to images of funding pitches. Other replies from Yacine, Elie, and Turner Novak discussed the sources of the money, with mentions of Effective Altruism and questions about ultimate backers.

LO lumpenspace and 99+ others@lumpenspaceyou have heard it here first, but i guess now you can believe it too @theojaffee / @HumanLevelJen. also, youtube should demonetise a bunch of them, since the sponsorship was undeclared (cc @sebkrier) https://twitter.com/benawad/status/2086953365284732931

TL Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenzMaking anti AI content on YouTube is not only profitable bc you’ll get a zillion views on any anti AI slop, but also bc there are a litany of these sorts of “AI safety” orgs that will quietly pay you massive amounts of $$ for undisclosed propaganda…
