alt Hacker Newsi don’t really view “shut up and calculate” or very restrained copenhagenism as a real view at all.
i think if you were to ask people to make a real metaphysical speculation, majority might be partial to everett - especially if they felt confident the results were anonymous

Seeing to believe is indeed a view, as they would have to view it in order to believe!
I agree, but that kind of goes to my point:
I believe the vast majority of researchers in quantum computing* spend almost no time on metaphysical speculation,
*Well, those on the "practical side" that thinks about algorithms and engineering quantum systems like the Google Quantum AI team and others. Not the computer science theorists knee-deep in quantum computational complexity proofs nor physics theorists working on foundations of quantum mechanics. But these last two categories are outnumbered by the "practical" side.
