>  Next time you see a popular Youtuber jump onto the anti Al train, they probably said "yes" to this email. Yet some people will still claim there's no astroturfed anti-AI propaganda, and that this while outrage is organic. 

One guy being promised an unspecified amount of "grant money" from God knows who means that every anti-AI video is astroturfed propaganda? Is this the hot new cope that AI pros are gobbling up...? 

How much money do you think the Center for AI Safety--a non-profit 501(c) that earned a grand total of [$3,577,153 in 2024](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/932442608)--even has to do something like this at scale?

Ofc, that raises the possibility that this email *isn't* from anyone associated with the Center for AI Safety. In which case, who is it? I'll go out on a limb and say that legitimate sponsors won't be this vague about the actual amount they're prepared to pay you, and their email should be attached to the organization they claim to represent (Center for AI Safety in this case). He could've at least shown us the email domain so we could see who it's coming from.

All in all, what we have here is a screenshot of an email whose origin and legitimacy have not been confirmed. Despite this, AI pros are using this potential scam email, that would normally sit at the bottom of your "spam" messages pile, as "evidence" of some vast international psyop which explains why YouTubers don't like AI slop. We're in the realm of total delusion.

Pro-AI people push baseless conspiracy theory alleging that anti-AI videos are being funded by Big-Anti
