>All of this looks pretty bad for us, but at least Open AI and most others at the front of this do understand the arguments and don’t have the same dumb dismissals (LeCun excepted).

The OpenAI people have even worse reasoning than the ones being dismissive. They believe (or at least say they believe) in the omnipotence of a superintelligence, but then say that if you just give them enough money to throw at MIRI they can just solve the alignment problem and create the benevolent supergod. All while they keep cranking up the GPU clusters and pushing out the latest and greatest LLMs anyway. If I did take the risk seriously, I would be pretty mad at OpenAI.
