A Wall Street Journal opinion piece asks why many of the people who build modern technology have turned pessimistic about it, becoming self-described doomers on questions like artificial intelligence risk and social harms. The essay examines the shift from Silicon Valley's traditional optimism to widespread warnings from technologists about the consequences of their own creations.
Why now: Ongoing anxiety over AI risks and tech's societal impact keeps debate about technologist pessimism active.
