The commenter above assumed that nobody besides alignment researchers are convinced by their arguments. Now you're complaining that a leading AI researcher who's convinced is not an alignment researcher. I guess I'll give up on this subthread.

The AI optimists are just impossible to reason with.

When it comes to people…

Expert who’s worried: conflict of interest or a quack

Non-expert: dismissible because non-expert

Was always worried: paranoiac

Recently became worried: flip flopper with no conviction

When it comes to the tech itself…

Bullish case: AI is super powerful and will change the world for the better

Bearish case: AI can’t do much lol what are you worried about they’re just words on a screen
