Someone who genuinely believes AI is about to kill everyone — that ASI will arrive, fail to align, and cause human extinction. Often associated with LessWrong, MIRI, and the rationalist diaspora. Treated with mixed seriousness in mainstream tech.
Someone who predicts doom.
A pejorative for a chatter who relentlessly posts negative predictions in chat — 'we're going to lose', 'this patch will kill the game', 'you'll never win this'. The '-andy' suffix (any name + -andy) labels someone as a stereotype of that behaviour. Coined on Twitch and forsen-adjacent communities; pairs naturally with 'hype andy' (the opposite stereotype).
(slang, derogatory, offensive, vulgar) A proponent of alarmist or eschatological ideas.
