> Those who are scared about the capability of AI (like the author)

Did they say that? I read they didn't like the pace of progression- that's a complaint about rushing ever faster into something not yet really thought out in terms of consequences and how it integrates with humans.

> I’m confident that AI capability will continue to keep increasing steadily as long as we keep working on it. I wish that AI would hit some kind of plateau, or that we would identify important human cognitive abilities that AI will never replicate without a paradigm shift, but I don’t expect those wishes to come true

I'm not seeing "scared" - what prompted you to use the word "scared" ?

> I think the existential risks many people are warning about deserve to be taken seriously

Dude, if some one is telling you that

1. it is getting better in capability and they want it to stop

2. literal existential risks of humanity due to AI deserve to be taken seriously

3. they have left their job because of it

its obvious that they are scared of it, no? How else do they feel about it lol? Happy? Neutral?
