Zvi Mowshowitz has a nuanced viewpoint I like -- we should be very careful and move very slowly with any tech that has a chance of wiping out humanity, and embrace the "move fast and break things" attitude with everything else, e.g. make it much easier to build housing, review and scrap any licensing requirements that do more harm than good, etc.

That sounds very rational and I'd agree fully. I suppose the challenge is that the optimists think there is no chance it'll wipe out humanity so they place AI in the "move fast and break things" camp. Getting them to not be dismissive is difficult when they see no danger.
