It is convenient for the industry, but that doesn't make it not a real concern. Why are the most visible people warning about the x-risk those who have quit big AI, such as Hinton?

If it's becoming insufferable it's because nobody is taking it seriously.

The problem with these conversations is that there are many AI experts with different opinions. Hinton is Ilya Sutskever’s PhD professor so I can’t say I’m too surprised he’s concerned about AI safety. I’ll be honest, I really don’t think it’s a conversation worth having. AI will progress regardless of attempts to slow it down. I’m not even necessarily one of those people that thinks all technological growth is good. I just think it’s inevitable.
