You are saying you would feel differently if everyone who held this view quit their job? And you might take it more seriously?
Yes? I mean, I'm not saying that they are necessarily wrong about the risks, but it's pretty hard to ignore how conveniently their positions align with a regulation capture that their companies are going for. If they all left, that would give a better signal than "I'm SO AFRAID of what we are creating, but I cannot leave millions on the table, right?"
Precisely. These folks are in the middle of frontier AI development and they're saying "someone should do something". It's like saying "n-word". You're making me say it instead of just not saying it.
