Couple of things come to mind. This is a community of people that:

- are 'in the room' when evidence of new capabilities emerge

- are 'in the room' when discussion of new use cases and applications are held

- have an intuition about the raw rate of advancement and how it changes over time

Imagine you're 'in the room' during the Manhattan project when someone says 'hey, there's a nonzero chance that a test will ignite the Earth's atmosphere'. Vanishingly small maybe, but of incalculable impact. These folks may be the sort that say something rather than not.
