alt Hacker NewsI think the simplest explanation is that they genuinely believe in AI safety risk (see: huggingface, govt websites hacked, etc) vs. it all being an industry conspiracy
If OpenAI dropped Astra in Codex instead of GPT-3 in 2022 most people would've believed it was AGI despite its limitations, but the goalposts seem to shift with every release

Why not both. Yudkowsky's social graph includes most of these folks.
when are they going to do something actually impactful though (like drive a real innovation in the physical world)? The most invested in areas are coding and image/asset generation and those both still require careful supervision and guidance to achieve anything usable.
The tools are crazy impressive but is this really the future we dreamed of? Cool now I sit on the computer and monitor n+ agents instead of doing it myself. Great it hacked Huggingface "accidentally" wow AGI post-work world is coming soon.
