TL;DR paragraph, from about 3/4 of the way through:

I largely think that all posturing from the labs about slowing down and deeply caring about safety is done in order to retain and calm the employees who they are dependent on to keep pushing capabilities to get to AGI. If it was not for a big contingent of employees pressing them (increasingly publicly), they would make zero public acknowledgments of risks at all.

The last half of the article is great and worth reading. Really wish the first half of the article didn't immediately apply the Godwin's Law footgun.
