There's probably some blurring of what "AI doom" means for people. People might be left thinking that "there could be negative effects due to widespread job loss etc" without necessarily buying into the weird maximalist AI doom ideas or "torturing simulated you forever" nonsense.

I think it's not so much his Malaysian-ness, but more of a "you don't even go to this school" thing. I don't think he has ever been to the US, but he certainly doesn't seem to mention that he's in Malaysia, ever, and posts old pictures of the US and says "things were better back then".
Supposedly he started out online posting Nazi-type stuff (https://i.imgur.com/zYHeFOP.jpeg not sure if legit) then went to a kind of anti-gamer gate wokeish persona, then went right wing again. In that jpeg there are some (alleged) statements by him about being Chinese but not Asian because Asians are "mongrels".
What's racist? Seems to be entirely based on Cheong's decade-plus of well-documented online behavior, not on his race.
If the QA tester goes home and checks his Raspberry Pi dogecoin mining rig, and is saving up for a Cybertruck, he's probably a tech bro, if only a larval one.
