Free solo climbers, who climb without harnesses, are typically regarded as having a death wish.

Yet, the dangers of AI getting smarter/capable by the month, with stronger offensive capabilities, and alignment observability and congnitive control getting worse, is "imagination".

Interestingly, denialist positions like this don't touch the unsolved problems, and _these_ are FUD on my watch.

The problems I've mentioned are very concrete, and spoiler alert: there may be no solutions to alignment observability and its possible degradation - at least with AI companies not substantially working on it (or even worse, working against it - see recurrent neural networks).
