Just watched The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist on Netflix. AI's power to reshape everything scares me lately, and nobody really knows what comes next.
The film isn't groundbreaking. It's comforting. One ordinary, anxious person between hope and dread. Cozy, and it gave me peace.

I just read the word “Apocaloptimist” and unfortunately must now pluck my eyes from my head and go mad.

I was interviewed for two documentaries about "AI" that both premiered at Sundance this year: @ghostdoc2026.bsky.social ("Ghost in the Machine") and "The AI Doc: How I Became an Apocaloptimist". As a pair, these films are a study in contrasts.

I just got done watching a truly horrible movie at Sundance ("The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist"). It was introduced by the Sundance programming rep as having "a strong sense of informational integrity", but it's hard to imagine a characterization more off the mark.

His apparent take away from the 3rd batch of interviews is that all of the power sits with the AI company CEOs, so he talks to them. Variety notes that the PR teams OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepMind were impressed, which in turn speaks volumes about the lack of credibility of this film.

'The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist' is a welcome and comprehensive overview of this tech for those who haven't followed the industry. But it squanders access to CEOs like Sam Altman by avoiding hard questions on accountability.

'Apocaloptimist' sounds like a large, lumbering creature, like hippopotamus, or Snuffleupagus.

Daily doomer update: The doomers have nigh wisely decided to remove the words "normie" and "apocaloptimist" from our shared lexicon, because if you're not a doomer in 2025, then you're just a clueless fucking moron.

A gentle reminder: If you're an apocaloptimist who's cautiously optimistic about our species' capacity to adapt and be resilient in the context of the sixth mass extinction, then I'm afraid to say that you're a fucking idiot.
