Keep in mind that LessWrong a community that 1) ostensibly wants to slow down AI so we can prepare for it, and 2) in actuality, wants to make the Bay Area EA community a kind of guild that controls everyone's use of AI.
Take anything they write with a big grain of salt. EA writings these are mere apologies. The conclusion is preordained. Authors start with the goal of slowing AI and work backwards from there, trying to see which arguments resonate with the pubic. You can't unsee it.
Not everyone in the AI space approves of these people or their doomerish.
