Hinton, Bengio, Stuart Russell and other behemoths voice similar concerns over AI, with enough confidence to switch their careers (e.g. Bengio now doing safety research at Mila, Ilya Sutskever switching from capabilities to alignment at OpenAI, Hinton quitting job to focus on advocacy)

Their concern isn’t about today’s generative LLMs, it’s about tomorrow’s autonomous, goal driven AGI systems. And they clearly got presented with the arguments for the limitations of auto regressive models, but disagreed.

So, it seems a little much to place absolute confidence into it being a non-issue, because they just don’t understand something LeCun and others do. (with the same holding true the other way around)
