I have a younger family member who is AuADHD and is under AI & other doomer delusions. It's effected her life to a large negative degree at this point. It doesn't matter if Yud is autism leaning, as a movement it's far beyond him. AI doomerism and other doomerisms is Q-anon for smart, moral, austism-leaning people at this point, which is incredibly sad. Because it is something that really affects smart people mostly, you can't use the qualifications and intelligence of it's proponents as measures of it's validity, you need to look at the thought distortions directly itself. It consumes lives and it definitely can hurt people.
