Beff Jezos Calls AI Safety Advocates Nation Traitors
The remark appeared in replies to a tweet by developer Ben Awad on X.
Beff Jezos posted that AI safety advocates are traitors to the nation. The statement replied to Ben Awad sharing multiple sponsorship offers for anti-AI YouTube videos. Taylor Lorenz noted that AI safety organizations quietly pay creators large undisclosed sums for such content and that much of the funding traces to Effective Altruism. Other replies mentioned the Center for AI Safety and its Frame Fellowship program selecting creators to produce videos on AI risks. Dylan Patel separately claimed CCP-linked groups back some anti-AI and anti-datacenter efforts.

The AI Safetysist are traitors to the nation
2nd anti-ai sponsor request I’ve gotten wild to see this
you 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)

this 5.6 sol summary of the content of 4 of the sponsored video
i think this is expected from @CAIS if you look at @hendrycks (Director of CAIS) quotes on their website there is also the Frame Fellowship that selects a bunch of creators and kind of embeds them in different safety programs to make videos about it my personal opinion is that…
Making 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
