I think that people who are naysayers and try to drum up these doomsday scenarios — [...] I actually think it is pretty irresponsible.

Quote verified. Mark Zuckerberg said this during a Facebook Live broadcast from his Palo Alto backyard in July 2017, responding to a viewer question about Elon Musk's AI concerns. The CNBC article (the cited source URL) reports the exact phrases "naysayers", "doomsday scenarios", and "pretty irresponsible" — Zuckerberg called such talk "really negative" and "pretty irresponsible". The source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the CNBC headline and corroborating RealClearPolitics, Fortune, and Washington Post coverage confirm the quote. Author attribution to Mark Zuckerberg is correct, and vote "against" on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" correctly aligns with his dismissal of AI-doomsday claims. Year 2017 is older than 2025; Zuckerberg has not loudly reversed this stance but I did not find an exactly-equivalent recent quote.
