> 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?
