> The only people who truly believe this AI safety stuff are those with no technical knowledge or expertise. This is a demonstrably false claim that gets repeated over and over. 2 out of 3 Turing Award recipients for work in AI are people who talk about AI safety, and even existential risk. There are many more. It may actually be BS but it’s simply false to say that it’s based on technical ignorance. The question I have is why is this claim made over and over when it is so easily seen to be untrue?
