They're saying don't do licensing, just make it illegal.

Sorry, who’s “they” here? The incumbents OpenAI / DeepMind / Anthropic?

Yudkowsky and similar.

(I'm a lot more optimistic than such doomers, but I can at least see their position is coherent; LeCun has the opposite position, but unfortunately, while I want that position to be correct, I find his position to be the same kind of wishful thinking as a factory boss who thinks "common sense" beats health and safety regulations).

No, the incumbents think it should continue. The xrisk folks are not the AI companies. The AI companies pay lip service to xrisk and try to misdirect towards regulation they think they can work with. Judging by this thread, the misdirection is working.
