# "As we speak, a cabal of paternalistic techies (henceforth Yuddites)…

*January 5, 2026 · Facebook*

\"As we speak, a cabal of paternalistic techies (henceforth Yuddites) is attempting to strangle the progress of AI technology.\
\
They are well funded, organized, and smart.\
\
In brief, they think â€œIf Anyone Builds It, Everyone Diesâ€œ. And they want to halt all frontier AI research indefinitely via totalitarian government regulation.\"\
