His arguments in defense of barreling forward with AI are terrible. They have zero chance to convince someone who doesn't share his intuitions/interests. For example: https://twitter.com/ylecun/status/1718764953534939162

How easily smart people convince themselves of what they want to be true with zero self-awareness makes me much more fearful of what's to come.

>other side gives, imho, convoluted arguments and asks for them to be proven wrong (as opposed to trying to prove themselves right).

The question is what should our default stance be until proven otherwise? I submit it is not to continue building the potentially world-ending technology.
