You’re completely missing the point. It honestly sounds like you want them to keep pursuing AGI, because I can’t see any other reason why you’d be mocking the people arguing that we shouldn’t.
How close to the nuclear bomb do researchers need to get before it’s time to hit the brakes? Is it really that unreasonable to suggest that maybe we shouldn’t even be trying in the first place? I don’t understand where this cynicism comes from. From my perspective, these people are actually on the same side as the anti-AI sentiment I see here every day - yet they’re still being ridiculed just for having the audacity to even consider that we might actually stumble upon AGI, and that doing so could be the last mistake humanity ever makes.
