AI Doomers Are Driving a War on Computation | Adam Thierer

Thierer warns that EA-driven AI doom rhetoric is fueling policy proposals—licensing, nationalization, data center bans—that could cripple computational innovation.

• Morality isn't math: Thierer argues effective altruism treats ethics as an optimization problem solved via "elitist planning," calling this a recipe for societal trouble.
• P(doom) is pseudoscience: He dismisses AI doom probability estimates as "subjective probabilities or feelings dressed up as hard math," arguing they fuel public panic.
