Oh, sorry, misinterpreted you! Although I am not sure I agree with your dismissal of nay-sayers. We can equally dismiss the opinions of early proponents. Perhaps maybe we should be hedging on all early opinions regardless.
Yeah agree with you, and perhaps both are even important in our public opinion forming... Recently I've been hearing people like Grant Sanderson on AI, and they are all very "wise" and informed, neither dismissive nor mindlessly (p/b)ro, but really thinking implications of this technology through. Like Tao does here. I love it, these people provide real direction.
