> in turn act irrationally
it isn't irrational to act in self-interest. If LLM threatens someone's livelihood, it matters not that it helps humanity overall one bit - they will oppose it. I don't blame them. But i also hope that they cannot succeed in opposing it.
It's irrational to genuinely hold false beliefs about capabilities of LLMs. But at this point I assume around half of the skeptics are emotionally motivated anyway.
As opposed to having skin in the game for llms and are blind to their flaws???
I'd assume that around half of the optimists are emotionally motivated this way.
