AI researcher Lucas Beyer (@giffmana) responded to a long post by Eliezer Yudkowsky with a brief jab, "Come on broski," mocking AI company executives.

Yudkowsky argues that concepts central to the industry, such as recursive self-improvement and AGI, originated with him and reached executives through figures like Nick Bostrom. He also claims executives cannot independently articulate a positive vision for AGI or superintelligence (ASI). Beyer's post is a short, sarcastic reaction, not a detailed rebuttal, so the report does not establish whether Yudkowsky's account of the ideas' origins is accurate.
