Mario Nawfal posted a clip of Bill Gates describing AI as 1,000x bigger than nuclear technology with both positive and negative aspects. Several other accounts including Liz Churchill, FFT1776 and Nic Hulscher then posted claims that the Gates Foundation funded AI work producing synthetic viruses and called the timing of the warning inconsistent with that support. The posts present these statements as evidence of hypocrisy without independent confirmation of the funding details.
